    Farewell Mathraki and on to …………………….. Ioannina!

    ByStephanie Banks 15 October 202420 November 2024

    Even though I was leaving Mathraki this morning, I still hadn’t decided on my next destination. Of course, I’d need to return to Corfu first, but after that – where? (though the clue is in the title!) I began the tedious chore of stuffing my belongings into the bag in preparation for leaving. Even though…

    Othonoi – Teacher, Saviour and Soul Soother

    ByStephanie Banks 4 October 20246 October 2024

    During my extended stay on Othonoi, I began to fall into some kind of routine. I woke whenever my body clock felt the desire to rise. Usually about 0730. I’d have a cup of tea on my balcony overlooking the sea towards the place where the Ionian Sea joined the Adriatic. Most mornings I’d have…

    ByStephanie Banks 3 October 20244 October 2024

    I was looking forward to my meal at Antoni’s especially as I hadn’t had anything to eat since my arrival on Othonoi earlier that morning. Vasiliki had reluctantly agreed to provide me with something simple as it wasn’t worth firing up the cooker for just one person. I was happy to take anything she could…

    Diapontia 2 – Arrival on Othonoi

    ByStephanie Banks 30 September 202430 September 2024

    I’d mentioned in a previous post that although Othonoi is the largest of the three Diapontian Islands, I couldn’t find any accommodation on B.com. I had to dig a little deeper and went onto Google Maps and searched for hotels. It brought up a couple including the Calypso Hotel which I was able to contact…
