I couldn’t blame Dimitrios the swimming pool keyboardist shooting longing looks over at us on our Corfu love getaway… only I discovered his gaze was for me as I went to the bar.
All of which I was only too quick to report back to my new wife on our honeymoon.
Love is in the air again as we check out the Easter offer from our friends at the Irish Travel Agents Association.
All of whom are gathered this weekend with travel boards around the globe for one of the highlights of the year, the Travel Extra Holiday World show at the RDS, Simmonscourt, in Dublin.
Freedom Travel have dug out Daphnila Bay for its crystal-clear waters and lush greenery which in many places might be a sales pitch.
But Corfu is indeed the most verdant island in Greece because of its higher levels of winter rainfall.
Which even allows for the Corfiots who have close links back to the islands of Britain and Ireland to have its own cricket pitch.
In the centre of Corfu town.
Bay of plenty
Now if you’re concerned about the rain spoiling your holiday then don’t.
Because in the spring and summer the sun kisses the Ionian island and it bursts with vegetation.
Just as you are busy kissing and bursting your moves for the poolside entertainment Dimitrios and his friends put on for you.
Now if you’re the active types (stop it!) then Daphnila Bay offers a choice of biking and hiking, snorkelling, swimming with horses, a Jeep safari.
And all the fun on every water-carrying craft and around the island.
At home with the Durrells
While if you want to follow in the footsteps of the madcap Murrell mob you saw on the telly.
Then treat yourself to a romantic sunset tour and the famous Durrell’s Tour.
A private half-day and full-day coast tour and a trip to Paxos and surrounding islands,
FT are offering seven nights all inclusive for two in Daphnila Bay from April 18 to 24 for €1,505pp.
With extras of €120 for 20kg luggage and €90 for insurance.
It’s our Corfu love getaway but you can make it yours too.
