ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
FLIGHTS -
The
company does not book flights, but can advise you on
procedure, booking and finding flights. Departures from most principal
UK airports, usually on Mondays. Please take medical advice and check
airline-insurance etc., regulations related to pregnancy, children under 2
years and your personal health.
ARRIVALS & DEPARTURES AT YOUR VILLA -
Usually geared to Mondays
which ties
in with the majority of flights into Corfu Airport. Flights do come in on
other days and we do our utmost to adjust to days and times BUT it must be
understood that if clients overlap due to their schedules, then another
villa may have to be used until the Monday of the next week.
Your room should be vacated by 12 noon prior to departure. (unless
specifically agreed otherwise with the owner via your host/ess). The
villa has to be prepared for incoming clients. Please be packed, provision
is made for your luggage.
TRANSFERS - AIRPORT TO OUR RESORT & RETURN (1 hr approx) -
There are various
choices available: 1. Taxi available at the airport. 2. You can
book your own taxi by ringing Greece. The local Agios Stefanos taxi is
"Tasos Taxis" Avilotes. From the UK, telephone 0030-26630-351284. In
Corfu, telephone 26630-51284. 3. On request we can arrange a Taxi, but it
must be understood that your contract is with the taxi firm, and not with
"While Away" Holidays Ltd., and sign to that effect on the booking form.
4. No company employee, representative or agent is authorised to provide
any form of transfer; other than to request a taxi or mini bus. Any
transfer is not the liability of "While Away Holidays Ltd". We recommend
the third course of action for you comfort and security because a)
telephone lines to Corfu can be difficult and language problems may occur.
b) It is a nice feeling knowing that you are going to be met at the
airport - day or night - by a friendly Agios Stefanos taxi driver who will
be identified by the Arrivals Exit holding up your name on a board. He
knows the route like the back of his hand, and where your villa is.
Payment for choice 3 is made to your hostess on day one in cash only.
ON RETURN TO THE AIRPORT –
Courtesy of ‘San
Stefano’ Travel Office, your
host/ess will kindly check your travel itinerary (Airline tickets required
for this service). This must be done 3 days in advance of your departure.
Also at this stage you should book and pay (cash only) for your return
taxi. Tasos collects his return fares in advance because several times
people have reached the airport only to find that they had no money to pay
him! So he is now wiser - but all monies will be refunded if you do not
take the taxi due to unforeseen circumstances.
Re-night flights-further accommodation – maybe available- (price etc from
your hostess)

photographs which we feel show accommodation to its best advantage.
However, we have to prepare our site many months in advance, and should
point out that facilities available in the resort and accommodation may
differ slightly from one year to the next, or many be temporarily
unavailable at the time you take your holiday e.g. a bar or restaurant
closed for redecoration. Also in April, May and October shops tavernas
do not always open if there is insufficient custom or they may cut down on
menus.
