    Honestly, I could just sit under that parasol with a large ice cold chocolate milkshake & a camera watching those planes land all day.
    What a lovely location to sit & chill.👍
    I look forward to going to Corfu.
    Great video & thank you for sharing.

      We made the mistake of booking a package holiday at the Multi-Story hotel you can see at 2:22 and several other times in this video. The village is called Benitses. Right overlooking the flight path and that Runway was in use All Day and All Night every single day. You couldn't even get drunk enough to pass out to get some sleep. We never slept a wink in that hotel, the planes are actually below the level of the hotels and a lot closer than they look in this video. The only way we got any sleep was crashing out on a beach somewhere near Ipsos. The approach is like a funnel so the noise is concentrated and bounces all around both sides of the flight path.
      Corfu is beautiful but don't get within 10 miles of that airport runway, the airport is extremely busy and the noise is unbelieveable. Worst holiday we ever had, Beautiful Hotel but holiday ruined by that runway and I would Never stay in that area again and, wouldn't recommend it to my worst ememy.

It's an extremely busy airport, and yes I have been there and stayed in one of the hotels overlooking, (the multi story you can see at 2:22 and other times in the clip). Wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Holiday totally ruined by that runway.

Right overlooking the flight path and that Runway was in use All Day and All Night every single day. You couldn't even get drunk enough to pass out to get some sleep. We never slept a wink in that hotel, the planes are actually below the level of the hotels and a lot closer than they look in this video. The only way we got any sleep was crashing out on a beach somewhere near Ipsos. The approach is like a funnel so the noise is concentrated and bounces all around both sides of the flight path.

It's so close they have a constant problem with illegal immigrants actually swimming across to Corfu from Albania.
