Easyjet

Many people will probably already know, but in addition to the Gatwick Easyjet flights, there will now be flights from both Bristol and Manchester, running from May. This can only be good news, in a year when everyone seems determined to bring only bad news to us poor countries in the eurozone.

Holiday companies are pushing their clients to Egypt, Bulgaria and Turkey; Thomson TV actually has a programme called 'Escape the Euro'; and UK television keeps reminding the British public how expensive everything will be for them now.

However, historically people go where they want to go. The Caribbean has always been disproportionately expensive but people who love it there still go. If you love Greece you are hardly likely to consider a baking desert in Egypt as a suitable alternative - or a crowded Bulgarian beach as comparable with a secluded Corfu bay.

People will no doubt be more careful with their money, but travel surveys in the UK recently show that people rate their holiday as one of the last things they would sacrifice and we hope that they will continue to visit Corfu and enjoy the welcome they receive here, as they always have in the past.
