General Comments
We stayed at Maria's apartments on 13th August for 1 week, they are at the west end of the beach near the canal (not as smelly as people have reported and full of fish, even saw a terrapin in there!). The apartment (No 16) was clean and had air con (not mentioned by First Choice and charged at around 5e per day). The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. There are plenty of sun beds and had no trouble with the towel brigade! The pool is on the beach, which is quite shallow (about 10m) so there was a lovely unspoilt view across the bay - it was fantastic! The main street run parallel with the beach so most of the time we walked along the beach and then back down through the town (takes about 7 minutes to walk along the beach to the other end of the beach). The food at Maria's was fantastic, especially the fish and cost was on a par with the rest of the resort. It was hard not to eat at Maria's but we did manage to try the Mexican 'Tex Mex' (left at the cross roads and over the bridge) and 'The Two Brothers' (straight over the cross roads), both were very good. Do not book the excursions through your travel rep as they charge as much as 60% more. We went on the BBQ boat , water park, corfu shopping, trip to Paleokastritsa. All great trips and booked through Vlasseros Travel (friendly and helpful - even when we missed a pickup, they rescheduled). We also hired a Yellow motor boat for a couple of hours and went canoeing, both from Sidari beach. All in all a great holiday and if we return to Corfu it will to Maria's.
