Flights to Greece.

if you keep you boat in Greece/ Corfu/Preveza/ levkas you may be interested.

'Olympic holidays' has emailed me a promotion of package deals to Corfu from Gatwick and various other UK hubs. Best one was return airfare and 14 nights in self catering accomodation in Corfu for £189!

So pop down to Corfu, Check into accomodation, buzz off to boat for 12 days, back to accomodation, hot showers and a soft bed before flying home. If you have non sailing friends/family they could use the accommodation and pool while you are off sailing.

Alternatively they have flights for around £120.

Think I might take advantage myself.

Wow! Also worth noting that easyjet's Gatwick to Preveza route seems to have shaken-up the market somewhat. Our September flights with Monarch are much cheaper than we've ever managed to get them in the past.

Yup but I just looked up an Easyjet 2 week turnaround flight to Preveza in July. £240 out and £500 return!

And I thought I was doing badly. Our flights from Birmingham to Preveza this coming Sunday, returning July 12th have cost £1030

Two years ago we faced a similar balackmail except it was over £1500 for two to Preveza. So we used German Wings to fly Heathrow - Cologne - Corfu, Ferry to Igoumenitsa and Taxi to Preveza - round trip for less than £500. OK it was much slower but that £1000 paid for a lot of retsina and ouzo.
