Corfu's Reputation in South China

"Refuge of Russians and Bingeing Brits" The South China Morning Post

"Avoiding disaster on Corfu’s perilous roads has always been a challenge, but now it’s doubly hazardous, due to the crater-like potholes and overgrown hedges – nothing gets fixed because of the economy, you are told. Rubbish overflows bins, which get emptied less often than before. Construction has ceased – only four new houses were started this year on the whole island, we learn".

"Post-recession, Corfu could have some reputation re-building to do".

"Minor oligarchs are flocking to some of the nicer bits of Corfu in search of a cut-price Riviera; good luck to ‘em, says Alan Page.
The last time I visited a Greek island they were still using their own currency, you couldn’t flush loo paper, the food was indescribably awful and the barren, baked landscape of Crete seemed deeply uninviting".

I didn't bother to sign in or register to read the rest of this article. So  much for the international press.

High time to change the image and set the record straight.
