Thanks Mabel, I thought it sounded nice, don't need mad nightlife at our age.
I am sure there will be some trips to go on to see other areas of the island, if I can get myself up in time lol

Hi Ann, this is Blue Garden Apartments, Roda, looks nice and better reviews. I also realised studio apartments wouldn't work for us these days, this place offers 1 bedroom aptmt so much better and more space. Goes from Gatwick so a long coach trip, we don't bother with the car, our holiday starts when we get on the coach, but it's only £38ish for him and half that for me as I get oap coach fare lol At the other end, it's a 2 hr transfer so a bit long too but you get to see the island on the way, Roda is in the north of Corfu which is a bit further north than Kefalonia where we have been before, and close to the mainland, you can get day trips to Albania from the island which sounds interesting. We have been later in the year than this in the past and it's been lovely and warm so should be good weather for me to snooze and snore on a less crowded beach, as the season will be winding down a bit. Selfcatering holiday with minimum luggage allowance, 15 kgs, and no meals is £799 for two so when you consider an apartment in England is around £600 and more, and then the cost of petrol, hassle of driving there and back and food here, it probably won't work out any different and we can be more sure of good weather.
Just wondered if anyone knew the resort?

Provided you can get a cheap flight Liz, but the hassle of the airport probably equates to the hassle of driving, given that you have to drive to the airport!! Where would you fly from? Park the car etc, don't forget parking charges when doing a comparison.

Not been to Corfu so can't comment though.

On another tack now for holiday, anyone been to Roda, in Corfu?
Seems to be cheaper to take a two week trip there once we have counted in rent for place in England, petrol costs and hassle of driving etc and more likely to get good weather!
