Sidari beach is not dirty, what you see is dead algae and where sand is suppose to be is hardened mud mixed with sand, meaning the beach was flooded not too long ago also that specific beach at its best is never clear because the waters there are more nutrient rich and has more living organisms especially algae. Some locals prefer to swim in those waters because it's good for the skin.
Wow that’s really interesting, thanks for sharing that! We had no idea about the algae etc
Love Corfu! Although it has been 35 years ... great memories. Thanks for showing us the island.
I love the journalist approach you take in telling your adventures stories Kristina!
Thank you so much 🙌🙂🥰 Appreciate the love xx
The Greek islands are my holiday destination of choice and I have visited eleven separate islands. When I was in Corfu I stayed in Sidari and the beaches were pristine from memory but that was nearly 25 years ago so plastic pollution was not the problem it is today. We were in Kos this time last year and again the beaches were clean and stunning so I guess we were lucky and the water was really hot so swimming was a pleasure. With regards driving in Greece in the dark our flight from Kos to the UK was around midnight Greek time so it was very dark on our coach journey to the Airport and our driver was training to be a race car driver so much so the passengers at the front of the coach all put their seat belts on as he tried to overtake a car on a blind bend on an unlit barely two car width road. I would still always holiday in Greece as the food is always spectacular outwith all inclusive hotels.
That was beautiful place thank you for sharing y’all please be careful an take care do miss the boat
Corfu is beautiful. The west coast has some lovely sandy beaches and great sunsets
🙏❤️🤩 So true! Thank you so much for your contribution here, amazing!
Really well done video and presentation of Corfu. There are still so many things to discover. Thanks for the great presentation of the island.
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂🙂
Great video guys! We loved the planes! Enjoy your roadtrip!!
Planes are amazing right!!!! Thank you!! Cheers for watching 🥰 and sharing your love and feedback x
Have a Great Summer and be safe. Thanks
Great shots loved them all
Thank you so much Sharon! 🥰❤️ Sending you lots of love x
Beautiful video guys ….Efkaristo! ❤
You’re welcome!!! Thanks so much for watching and stopping by! 🙌🙂
Love that u guys included corfu! Next time you have to explore paleokastritsa and liapadres!
You definitely have to see bays there by boat, the most stunning was the paradise beach (near liapades) which was only accessable my boat😍
Nice video ! Amazing place 😊
The transition at 15:56 is why you guys are next level!
Thank you John and Kristina for visiting our beautiful Corfu Island! Please come back and bring guests! - Chris and Peggy, New York.
We loved Corfu and will definitely be back! 😉 thanks for watching!
awesome scenery Corfu's a beautiful location.
Truly! Except.. for that.. one beach! Haha.. and how cool was the airport?!
@@KristinasTravels yea that 1 beach was unfortunate and yes that airport was awesome. There are other's around the world I've seen and landed on and taken off from that also are amazing .
Great video Kristina.
Love the video and tips. Haven’t been yet. Definitely looks like a must do.
Thank you George! By your username, I take it you're Greek?! You'll have to add Corfu to your bucket list 🙂
@@KristinasTravels will do. I am Greek and from Adelaide
Will be in Corfu this summer cant wait. You video was a perfect taster.
Ohhhh! Awesome!!! You’re going to have an absolute blast!!! ☺️ Are you flying there?!
@@KristinasTravels cruising to there, on a big touristy boat however on this trip I’ve set up several sailing trips. One in Corfu, then in Rijeka Croatian and in Zadar Croatia. I love sailing and Id like to make it my life here in about 5 to 6 years. We will be staying in Athens for 3 days following the cruise. Your time in Greece looked Epic
Lovely to see your trip; I did the same Athens to Meteora and then ferry to Corfu about 8 years ago. Great trip. Glad you enjoyed Corfu; I first went in 1973 and will be back there in August.
Did you check our Kefalonia or Zakynthos ? What’s the best out of the 3
@@radosuites7058 Went to Kefalonia in 1984 ! They are all lovely. I guess K is a bit quieter than Corfu. Sorry; not much help !
Great guide, visited there a few weeks ago, really enjoyed it
Ohh so glad you had a great time and hope the guide was helpful 😄
Great episode! You did a great job incorporating maps. In the past I've watched videos from others where I didn't really know where they were. Not even by the end of the episode. How do I say it in Australian? "Good on you mate!"
Thanks so much for this feedback Carson! 🙌🥰 Appreciate it “mate” hahaha 🤣 Lots of love always x
Fun! Mykonos was my favorite island and I hope to sail there some day. I miss the good food!
Great work
Thankyou for your informative video. its really helped me decide on where to visit this coming June. I so cant wait!!!
Oh that’s FANTASTIC to hear! So wonderful we could help. Have the BEST time 😊☺️
Me too❤
Love you guys!
I think it's so important to share the less glamorous locations like Sidari beach. On social media we are so often served up the highlight reel which isn't a true representation of the region. I just hope that the tourism that you and other channels like yours bring to the region, allow the local government to clean up the area and restore the natural beauty! Btw I've been looking at AG1 for a while now BUT I had no idea that they were made in NZ, I'm going to use your link to try it out! Thanks guys 🙌🏼
It’s difficult to clean up when they’re inundated with sooo many tourists! Many partiers
@@musiclovetara the way I see it is that tourists bring money, so the local government can allocate more resources to cleaning up and waste management. I just hope that the more tourists doesn’t mean more rubbish!
When we were in Corfu and Mykonos we rented scooters. Easy to see the whole island in a day or so.
Great idea!!!!! 🤙🙂
Awesome😎
Idk if you guys are into mainland adventures etc (ie away from the coast), but if you're ever in Greece again, I highly recommend checking out Zagorohoria and the nearby areas. They are a collection of small villages that are so beautiful and they're great for a quick escape from the cities/main towns etc! Also, the Peloponnese is amaaazing too, just so much to see and such great places to visit. Amazing videos btw!
In March what would you recommend to visit in Peloponnese or Corfu/ Metoera / Delphi??
@@deepanjalisims depends on what you’d want to see/experience, do you want to experience the local culture etc or just see the local scenery? Or both?
@@pcr5275 hi we would like to see scenic places. I understand that 1-11 March wouldn’t be a good time to visit the islands.. it’s a last minute trip hence where would u recommend.. mountains ?? Or some beautiful scenic places. Will appreciate thank you
We are there in 2 weeks can't wait
Hope you guys had the best time?!?
@@KristinasTravels we loved it , we are in Crete now for 6 weeks, xania , my parents birthplace, enjoy your travels, always following ❤️
Great vid guys, we’re off to Paleokastritsa in a couple of weeks! Just a note for the start of the vid, that’s not the Parsifal III yacht, it has 2, not 3 masts!
love love love
Thanks darling!!! Hope you enjoyed the video xx
I absolutely love how authentic and practical your travel tips are! 🌟 By the way, have you checked out the new Nomadlane V4 Bento Bag? It seems like it would suit your adventurous spirit! 🎒🌄
Thanks! We try, and no will check it out, thanks!
Corfu nun gùxelligi
Su anda kendimi orda hissettim
Tebrikler
Very beatiful 👍👍😘😘❤️❤️❤️❣️
Hop over to the small island Paxos South of Corfu, my secret gem.
We gotta get home quick!!! "Let's check out this old house!" Lol
Hahaha 🤣🙋♀️!!!
I went to Corfu 36 years ago on a Contiki got overnight ferry from Brindisi I went water skiing lol and just remember the Old Corfu town gee I missed a heap of stuff just seeing your video… and they said don’t drift off to far or the Albanian navy will nab you…
I think it's pretty cool 😎 how you knew the Uber driver in Greece! 🇬🇷 😀 😉 😄
I was in Nissaki/Kaminaki last week. So sad to know whats happening right now, especially in that region of Corfu. All those beautiful villages potentially burning. My thoughts are with everyone affected!
I hope you guys swam thru Canal D'Amour! ❤ 😊 😘
After 2 weeks I will be, but you need visit Bulgaria Black sea cost - Primorsko, Kiten, Sozopol and Burgas(main city) Also is very beautiful and veru famous tourist places
Very lovely travel adventures you have. Nicely told and documented too. I noticed some drone footage. Did you asked permission or just took your chance. Because Greek fly rules seems to be very strict. I'm going in 2 weeks.
Hi Kris, check out envato elements! Have a blast and enjoy your trip! 🤗😁 Can’t wait to hear about it!
You should have visited the beaches in the South part of the island too. Issos beach, Arkoudilas, Mikro Nisi are essentials.
Thank you for the tip! Next time we’ll have to spend more time on the island - you’re right, there is so much to see 😍
Would love to learn how to sail with ya 😊 💯
We’d love to put on a special charter!! Watch this space 🙌🙂🙂
Interesting...
Few questions; didn't you have the urge to leap off of one of those "shear cliffs" Kristina?
What's the story with the abandoned house?
Miss the sailing vlogs, and no recall of you guys sharing WHY you sold you sail boat, any way?
God Bless Guys🙏🏻🕊🦋
Hey guys, am so much enjoying your land based video's, just for a change hey. I envy you both getting around in shorts 'cause back here in Melb, Aus, its just 15C today & fire raging & Kristinas Travels on my computer naturally. Kristina, I feel you have the gift of talking & reporting as you hardly ever hear John comment but he is always there taking fotos & by now you must have surely enough stunning stills to publish several travel books. Anyway you both look good & seem to be enjoying yourselves so thats the main thing. Love
Φανταστικό υπέροχη Κέρκυρα βασίλισσα του Ιονίου !!!👏👍👌👏👍👌
Thank you so much ❤️🥰🤩
@@KristinasTravels 👍
@@KristinasTravels 👍
Hi! Thank you for all the tips! Regardign where to stay, would you have chosen Ipsos or Paleokastritsa? In the middle you said the first one, but at the end the later I believe. Thank you!
Both are great... they both have a different vibe.. Paleokastritsa is more chilled, but far from the east coast....
But Ipsos is more central to the entire island.. but the beaches weren't as beautiful and didnt have as nice of a vibe.. but .. both.. honestly are great..
If you want to sit on a beach all day.. I'd go Paleokastritsa, but if you want to explore the island... Ipsos is more central from memory :)
Double check on Google maps x Enjoy!
I haven't seen your reply! Thank you so much :)
Girlfriends mother lives here so I get to go at least twice a year cheaply. I just need to make sure she never moves ! Heading over in 3 weeks! Still like to watch videos on ideas where to go as I've definitely not seen it all yet
Ohh amazing always nice having an excuse to go to Greece hey 😉 have the best trip!
Люблю этот остров
Kristina! 🤦♂surely you can tell the difference between a ketch like Parsifal III and a DynaRig yacht like Maltese Falcon (or Black Pearl) which is what is in your footage.
Omg. I just looked her up….. it’s actually $448,000 euro a week!!!!!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪 I sold her short! That is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Thank you for the clarification, that’s why I love you guys down here in the comments! My fact checkers 🥰 x
@KristinasTravels 😅 details matter! Now what was your previous career again? 🤔😘
Nice video Kristina but plane spotting in Greece is probably not a good idea. There was an incident a while ago with tourists getting in legal trouble doing just that due to security concerns. I believe they were from the UK.
As long as you're not jumping over any fences or ignoring any signs, there's nothing wrong with plane spotting in Greece.
👌❤️
Hey would you recommend it in first week of March .. with a toddler??
It would be pretty cold in March! Did you happen to get down there?
When you acquire your next boat, are you going to name it "Twocana"?
BAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh my gosh, Chris, that is GENIUS 🤣😂😂🤣🤣😍😛
The jet landing: It gets even crazier, closer in St Martin!
Ohhh I bet!!!!! Can’t wait to visit there one day! Thanks so much Doug 🤗
It would be SUPER HELPFUL if you were to label each area, like 13:21 -- where is that on the island? Please and thank you :)
Did you enjoy Corfu? If I were to pick between Corfu and Crete, which place would you recommend?
I’ve only been to one small area in Crete… but they’re both so different. Can anyone else chime in here to help Monika out? Cheers guys!
❤❤❤
Another awesome video, are you related to Elayna? Sound exactly like her, must be the reporter voice lol xo Jacinta Shanley (O'Shanleys Irish Pub Queensland) and FTS Family to Sea (boat life is the best with the whole family) #AG1
No, we’re not related, but thank you for the lovely compliment 🙌❤️🙂 Yes, I think it’s the reporter voice haha 😆 It creeps in all the time 🫣 Oh, we’ll have to visit your pub sometime!
@@KristinasTravels Most definitely 🥰🥰
On what price are the motorbykes in corfu per day ? Is it better than a car there ?
Hmmmm… I’m not on motorbikes… we don’t have our motorbike licence unfortunately! Keep us posted on how you go!
"you dont always have healthy clean food" (pans to a block of oily, cheesy, deliciousness)
BAHAHAHAHA!!! 🤤
arillas is the best place in corfu i go every year
Thanks for the tip! 🤗
Thanks for the video:) It was pretty useful ) Hope to see Corfy with my own eyes this summer :)
Amazing to hear! You’re welcome! Enjoy and let us know your tips once you visit! 🤙🤙
Just 35 euros for the ferry? Can you share the name of the ferry line? Thank you
We share it in the video where we’re in our hotel towards the end of the video 🙂🙂
Looks like you didn’t enjoy Corfu that much. So out of the three (Corfu, Kefalonia, and Zakynthos) - which two would you choose if you like nice scenery and hikes ?
We did enjoy Corfu, it was just BIG and spread out!! 😅 Out of the 3x island there was LOTS to see at Corfu! But we also loved the other islands too! Now that you can go down to Shipwreck Beach in Zakynthos, perhaps Kefalonia would be better out of the two islands!
The Google Maps Link isn't for Corfu!
Please updateeeee
Ooops thanks will try and get to it sooon!
Hi Kristina great video, but just some information. The boat you said was Parsifal III is not, as Parsifal III is not a 3 mast square rigger, but a ketch. The clip from you inserted from "Below Deck" showed a furler, which might not be on the boat in your video due to the small mast with the communication equipment. The first plane that came in to land was not a jet, but a Turbo Prop the last plane was a jet and I'm sure John will agree with me. Keep up the good work, but in the voice overs just make sure your facts are researched.
Some of the comments seem a little snooty, like your boat was 5ft bigger and a few put downs about the town, but I respect your opinion.
Oops sorry if it came across that way, we love the city to bits, just want to make that clear, also wanted to give our honest unfiltered opinion on it where we can so people know what to expect 😃
I know exactly where that abandoned house is 😅
❤️👌
My greek home 🏡 🇦🇱❤️🇬🇷
🧡 beautiful!!
@@KristinasTravels if y wana have good food and have coffee in a beautiful view i sugest Gouvia Marina. Much love from Golem in Albania. 🇦🇱 ✌🏻❤️💫
Lots of nice things to go and see, lots of Brits, most on the south of the Island. 😂
🙌🙌
go to paxos instead!
Ohhh Paxos is amazing also 😍
I went to the canal it was litreally packed and the beach was shit
Oh dear really?! 🫤
5:17 or could be more WHERE LOVE GOES....🤐 sorry
200k to rent a gyatt?!?! Lololol
You went to all the wrong beaches
We’d love to hear your recommendations. Feel free to contribute to the travelling community here in the comments section. Thanks for watching 🤙🙌
Lovely video. Great shots and clips. I do want to make 1 point to the beach you where bummed out on. If there is a storm, it sweeps up sea grass, and anythnig else that may all get washed up a shore. but the result is that the waters then still are murky and the beach with dead seagrass and so on. This by the way is very normal. This same beach can look completely different just a few days, weeks or few months later. So by no means does this beach and water colors look like this all year around. You can have the most craziest of beaches looking less right after a storm for example. Just saying.
Generally almost all beaches in Greece are incredible on average. Greece has the most incredible and crystal clear coastlines and by far the longest in the mediterranean. It also has the highest annual scores for water quality in all of Europe together with Cyprus and Malta. And malta is half the size of just Corfu. So, Greece is the only nation in this top and yet with bizarly high quality of waters of 97%.
Thank you, I completely understand what you mean 👌 It wasn’t really the beach colour, and the sea grass.. it was actually the amount of plastic and rubbish on the beach. You can see it all in the sand on camera 🥵 I mean, perhaps the plastic gets swept up too? But it was so dirty with human trash it was very sad to witness 🙃
@@KristinasTravels
Yes that is what washes up. Its a thing common to pretty much any nation around the world with coastlines. And then currents matter and also bays. Some areas/places are much more prone. Also close to populated areas the chance for things to come back after a storm also increases
And lastly. Greece is mountainous(80%). All of the storms with sometimes very heavy rains creates often floods that can also take things down to the sea. Greece in general is still clean to very clean and annual water quality reports regarding just the water also shows it too. But still, there are still areas where its not perfectly clean. In my eyes you shouldnt find anywhere a single piece of trash. Nowhere. Its good but it can be better. I have good faith
