My husband and myself have just arrived back from Corfu and must say that we loved Ektor Aparments.

The staff were brilliant as were all the other guests. Must say, I was happy not to have tv in our apartment, we were glad to get away from all that.
The pool and pool area was very clean and well maintained.
 
We also stayed in the old block overlooking the pool and were very happy with our room, all I wanted was somewhere clean to sleep and a lovely view and was not disappointed.
 
If you want a friendly family run place to stay, then you can't go wrong with Ektors.

Salt n Pepper - (Restaurants in Sidari)

Alison H          9/10

Absolutely loved the food. My husband and I ate here nearly every day.

The Beef Stifado is the best I tried my whole holiday.
The full english breakfast was also the best that we tried in the whole resort (and believe me we tried a few)!  
Please give this place a try, I can promise you won't be disappointed.

Day trip to Albania - (Corfu Excursions)

What a beautiful country Albania is. We took the Blue Eye tour which takes you to the Blue Eye national park, where not only will you see the bluest water ever, but also a lovely display of purple dragonflys.

Saranda is a very pretty port town, but just wander a few streets away from the main tourist area and you will see that it is still a very poor country. We are going to return to Albania next year and hopefully spend a few days exploring its natural beauty.
 
 
 
This is a must do trip for anyone who wants something different from the normal holiday touristy stuff.

Hi Jane,

the Ektor apartments are about 10 minutes walk from the centre of town.
We absolutely loved staying at Ektor I hope you will too.
There are 2 supermarkets just up the road, you can see them from the entrance to Ektors.
Salt and Pepper is only 200yards away, they do a fantastic breakfast and the trip buses stop outside their restaurant so we found it very handy to have eat there first.
 
There are no pavements in most of the town, and in the begining I found it pretty scary walking on the road as it's quite busy, but after a couple of days, you ignore the traffic and just get on with it.
 
There are tons of trips to go on, you must visit the waterparks especially Aqualand.
 
My favourite trip was to Albania, but I'm not sure your kids will enjoy as there were no children at all on the trip we took.
 
The beach BBQ was a bit of a nightmare as the small cove we went to was pounded by the sun all day and stones kept falling on us from the cliffs behind, but the food was lovely.
 
There is a glass bottom boat trip that a lot of people from Ektors went on and they all said how much they enjoyed.
 
Don't book your trips through the rep, go into town there are loads of travel shops where you can book a LOT cheaper.
 
Finally, Sidari has a couple of beaches and plenty of boats, bananas etc to keep the kids amused., and make sure you spend time around the Canal D'Amour area, you'll see some amazing views and lots of lizards.
 
Alison
P.S give my love to George and the gang, can't wait to go back next year.
 
P.P.S HAVE FUN!!!!

Ektors isn't far from the centre of town, no more than a 10 minute walk, and about same to the nearest beach which is just behind the main road that runs through the town.

Have fun

Hi Richard,

did you not think to check out Sidari before you booked it?
My husband and myself are not young, but we loved the atmosphere in the town at night, so to say it's only for the young is very misleading.
If you don't want to go into bars and restaurants, just say no thanks and keep walking, nobody can make you do anything you don't want to do.
 
BTW incase you're wondering, I'm in my late 40's, so I'm in no way, shape or form considered "young"
 
(well maybe mentally I am)
