Hi Rich C
As so many people had suggested Corfu town we decided that would be our first visit.
As the weather looked so lovely we thought it would be pleasant to take a boat in to Corfu, so we left Kassiopi on a very sunny and pleasant day, however within 20 minutes the sky was black and the Greek God Zeus was throwing everything he had at us,
everybody on board was forced down below and even with the crew trying their best, the majority of people on board were very wet with the waves coming in to the boat
I think there were a few people extremely happy when we
eventually made it in to Corfu.
The remainder of that afternoon & evening continued with a most impressive thunder storm, heavy rain and strong winds.
We managed to get a meal at the Liston and have a very short and wet wander around the old town. So unfortunately Corfu town, although very nice turned out to be a bit of a wash out (so were we by the end of the day)
The weather was so bad we had to wait on busses to take us back to Kassiopi as the boats were unable to return
The following day again looked lovely so we had decided to get the bus back to Corfu town

but as we were waiting for the bus it got a bit overcast, so we decided against going, this turned out to be a good choice, as we were again struck by a huge thunder storm, which lasted until late evening
The following day we took an all day boat trip to Parga on the mainland (we are going there next year) and the island of Paxos, both of which are very lovely, it is typical that the day we were off the island the weather was gorgeous
We managed to cross over the mountains inland (there is some fantastic scenery on these mountain roads) and go to Palaiokastritsa,
which is a very pretty headland with a couple of crescent shaped bays, after a light lunch we made it (eventually) to Angelokastro

I am really pleased you mentioned this, what fantastic views from the fortress, just don't go to near the edge of the cliffs.
We never managed to get for a special meal at Agni, the evening we were going there I must have upset Zeus again and he was once more venting his anger
Although the weather wasn't always great, and the airport is a nightmare I must say that these minor drawbacks were more than made up for by the very friendly locals, stunning scenery etc
We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be going back, hopefully for longer, and we will be able to do the things we said we would do but didn't or that were restricted because of the weather.
