Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help with this...there is a group of 4 of us going to Paxos for a week in September, and as we are getting Easy Jet flights to Corfu we need to stay overnight on the island, as near to the port as possible. There is Hotel Atlantis right in the port, but the cheapest this will be in early September is £80 per room, which isn't extortionate but is a bit over budget for us. I seem to be having difficulty booking other hotels in Corfu Town, as many of them say they won't accept a 1 night booking.

I have found some very cheap hotels in Gouvia who do seem to accept 1 night bookings, and wondered how long it would really take us to travel to the port in the morning from there. Websites say anything from 15-30 mins to the airport...but never having been to Corfu I don't know the traffic situation and don't know if I should add a bit on to get to the port? Also I don't know what to expect as a taxi fare for this kind of distance?

Considering the ferrry we'd like to get is 8.15am and then there's nothing until 1.30pm... ideally the closer to the port the better...does anyone know of any cheap hotels which would/might accept a 1 night booking?

Also, has anyone stayed at Angela Hotel in Gouvia...this was the cheapest I could find and it looks quite pleasant on the website. No horror stories about it from anyone I hope?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,

Jayne
