    Séjour magique à Corfou ! Les paysages sont grandioses, de panorama en panorama, la montagne en 4x4 en traversant les villages pittoresques, la visite d’un monastère accompagné d’une nonne francophone captivante, Les rues chaleureuses et colorées de Corfou avec ses boutiques artisanales, et son architecture multiples, les cotes du sud pour là baignades et les point vus surprenants, un peu déçu par le mauvais état du château de Sissi (en réfection) ! Une gastronomie familiale délicieuse faite avec le cœur… et merveilleuses discussions avec avec les restaurateurs notamment au Golden Sunset à Boukaty plage ou au Alatopípero rue Doña à Corfou (vieille ville coté port et nouvelle citadelle) à ne pas manquer et en plus pas cher … Notre hôtel Paleo ArtNouveau Hotel à Paleokastritsa était superbement situé avec une vue magnifique seul point négatif le buffet dont on se lasse vite mais plein de très bon resto à proximité et la grotta juste en face pour la fin de soirée juste extra! Les chambre avec mini piscine privée et vue à couper le souffle sont juste géniale Le petit monastère de Paleokastritsa vaut le détours ainsi que la citadelle des Anges à proximité avec un stop au resto à ses pieds Aller à Corfou vous vous régalerez
