A great sunny week in delightful Corfu

Hi Everybody

We have just returned from really lovely week in Corfu, a warm and very sunny Greek Island in the Mediterranean.

We stayed at the IKOS Dassia resort which is excellent ,with many pools, restaurants and a lovely beach by the warm sparkling sea. Great staff to, thanks Alex! especially.

Time, in between just chilling out, to paint a few watercolour sketches, the first of which I hope to repaint in the studio as a larger watercolour.

This first sketch was painted from photos taken on a boat trip along the stunning coast and is of  a bay near Agios Stephanos on the north coast of the island.

This our second visit to Corfu, and it won’t we hope be our last.

Everyone is very friendly and the food and drink excellent. Corfu has somewhat chaotic airport but mainly because it is so busy with visitors, however the staff there were all great too.

In this sketch I have left out the sunbeds on the lovely sandy beach at Dassia.

Albania is only a few kilometres away across the blue green sea!

There are many little seaside towns around the Corfu coast and in between then little coves , with sea caves and that wonderful clear azure blue water teaming with fish!

Maybe next time we will explore more that this lovely island has to offer

Last year we visited Corfu town and here is one of the sketches from that visit

We really enjoyed Corfu, well worth a visit!

Enjoy you travels too
