Me folks lived in Athens for some of when we was growin up, we used to use it as the base to head out to all the islands - tis really the most awesome place! Gotta say me fave island is Kythera, stunning and totally unspoilt. Never bin to Corfu though, looks very nice! Am a complete grecophile and would give up everything tomorrow for it if i could!

waw , thats cool , mrs nobbers folks are from corfu. we have been trying to find a way to move there for ages now.
she has a lot of family and friends there but its not the easiest place to make a living. lots of good green laning there though.

I try and get to greece at every possible opportunity - new young family makes it a bit tricky but am planning on brainwashing them into it at the earliest opportunity as well!!! Managed to brainwash Mrs D as well so that's a plus, and yes, the lanes (although more brown than green!!!) in greece are awesome, built by the army with a bulldozer and used by anyone - fantastic!!! Would love to get a 110 and do a good trip there in a few years, i think i'll have to get persuading now though!

I like Kythera (Kithira?) coz it's totally unspoilt, no international flights, limited tourism, cracking beaches and a really nice local feel to it, but all the islands have places where you can escape the manic party scene and have nice spots, i love it!!!

If i could justify it, or the UK family wasn't such a tie, i'd be there tomorrow - i love it!!!

hi nobber - excellent pics
I am also planning a trip to Corfu in Sept 09
can you tell me, did you wild camp in Greece or stay on campsites
Are there loads of campsites (never been to Greece before)
Do you get hastled if you try and wild camp
Of all the campsites that you stayed at on-route where there any particularly good ones that you can recommend

Bloody 'ell Awesome doesn't even start to describe some of those views. And that was just getting there!

Thanks for the photos... I'm using them to try to pursuade the Missus that driving across Europe needn't be boring!
