Escape to Paradise: Olga Apartments, Your Corfu Dream Awaits!
Escape to Paradise: Olga Apartments - My Unfiltered Corfu Dream (or, Did I Just Get Sunburned Planning This Trip?)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to unleash a torrent of opinions about Olga Apartments in Corfu. Forget the perfectly polished brochures – this is the real deal. And let’s be honest, planning a trip is about as relaxing as wrestling a grumpy octopus, right? Especially when you're chasing that elusive "paradise" vibe. So, let's dive in, shall we?
Accessibility – The Starting Point (and Hopefully, Not a Cliffhanger)
First things first: accessibility. Sadly, I don't personally use a wheelchair, but I'm always looking out for the folks who do. The listing mentions facilities for disabled guests. Now, this is a crucial one. I did some extra digging (because, you know, trust but verify!) and while I couldn't find detailed specifics on wheelchair access (like room dimensions, ramp inclines, etc.), the general vibe is promising. I'd recommend calling Olga Apartments directly to confirm their exact accessibility features to ensure a smooth stay. Don't be shy! Ask ALL the questions.
Internet – Or, Surviving the Digital Detox Dilemma!
Free Wi-Fi? In every room? And Wi-Fi in public areas? Praise the travel gods! This is HUGE. Because let's face it, even when we're supposed to be "escaping," we still need to upload those envy-inducing Instagram pics. (Don't judge me.) While I'm more of a "throw-my-phone-in-the-sea" advocate for true relaxation, the reality is… I also need to check that work email just in case. Having solid internet access is a lifesaver. Bonus points for LAN access too, for those who are seriously techie!
Cleanliness and Safety – Because Nobody Wants a Holiday Sickness Bug
This is where Olga Apartments really shines. And considering the state of the world, this is HUGE. Anti-viral cleaning products? Daily disinfection in common areas? Rooms sanitized between stays? This is my jam! And I'm not just talking about a quick once-over. They're even offering room sanitization opt-out (a nice touch if you're eco-conscious). Hand sanitizer stations EVERYWHERE! And the staff? Trained in safety protocol. Seriously, this is a relief. It's not just about looking pretty; it's about peace of mind. Knowing that someone is taking serious precautions makes a world of difference.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – The Fuel for Your Corfu Adventure
Okay, food! This is where my brain really starts to buzz.
- Multiple Restaurants: YES! They have restaurants. And from the sounds of things, A la carte options with Asian cuisine and even Western Cuisine. Which keeps everyone happy.
- Breakfast: Breakfast is a pretty big deal for us, and the option of Asian and Western breakfast is sure to satisfy everyone's diet.
- Drinks: a poolside bar and a bar. Perfect for afternoon cocktails and evening drinks.
Seriously, the idea of lazy breakfasts, sunset cocktails, and poolside snacks… my stomach is already rumbling.
Things to Do – Keeping Boredom at Bay (Without Overdoing It!)
This is where Corfu really comes into its own.
- The Pool: A pool with a view? Come on! This is exactly what I imagine when I think of the Greek Islands
- Spa Treatments: If you've been working hard, there is a Spa. Which includes a Body Scrub, Body Wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa/sauna and Steamroom and if you are feeling extra energetic, a gym.
Services and Conveniences – Because Sometimes, You Need a Little Help!
This is where the practical stuff comes in.
- Business Facilities: They have business facilities, like meeting rooms and stationery.
- Housekeeping: Daily housekeeping is a MAJOR plus, let's be honest. It's so nice to return to a clean room!
- Other Conveniences: Laundry, luggage storage, currency exchange, and a gift shop.
For the Kids – Because Happy Kids = Happy Parents!
Family-friendly? Check! They have babysitting service, kids facilities, and kids meals. This is a big win for families!
Available in all Rooms – The Necessities and the Nice-to-Haves
Air conditioning in every room? Essential. Alarm clock? Useful. Bathrobes? Nice touch of luxury. Free bottled water is always appreciated. In-room safe, a mini bar. A coffee/tea maker is absolutely crucial, especially first thing in the morning. Plus, they have balconies, and other things to help you enjoy yourself.
The "Stuff I Didn't Think I Needed but Now Can't Live Without" Section
Reading light? Now, that's a detail I appreciate. Makes you feel like you can read a book or whatever.
Okay, SO… Here's My Verdict (and the Pitch!)
Olga Apartments is shaping up to be a solid choice for a Corfu getaway. The cleanliness and safety measures are a huge selling point for anyone with a cautious mindset (which, let's be honest, is most of us these days!).

Corfu Chaos: An Itinerary (Maybe)
Okay, so here's the attempt at a plan for my week at Olga Apartments in Corfu. "Plan" being the key word there. I'm more of a "wander aimlessly and hope for the best" kind of traveler. Seriously, I spent 20 minutes this morning trying to figure out if "Corfu" was a fruit. Don't judge. Jet lag and the allure of gyros are a deadly combo.
Day 1: Arrival & Absolute Panic (Plus a Gyro)
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Corfu Airport. Pray my luggage appears. (Seriously, it's happened before…in Rome! I bought a magnificent pair of clogs that trip.) Taxi ride to Olga Apartments. Hopefully the driver doesn’t think my frantic air-guitaring to the radio is weird.
- Afternoon: Arrive at Olga Apartments. Check-in. Unpack. Immediately realize I packed ALL the wrong clothes. Where's the flowy sundress? Oh, it's in the suitcase that didn't arrive! Cue crisis.
- Late Afternoon: Locate nearest bakery. Mandatory. Need the sugar. Breathe. Explore the local area. Maybe stumble upon a beach.
- Evening: GYRO. Seek out the absolute best, oozing-with-tzatziki, dripping-with-deliciousness gyro. Eat with reckless abandon. Evaluate existence. Crash.
Day 2: Beach Bumming & Existential Dread (with Optional Ouzo)
- Morning: Wake up. Assess sun situation. Head to nearest beach. Possibly Paleokastritsa? Everyone raves about it. Or maybe a smaller, less-crowded cove…if I can find one without getting lost. Sunscreen. Book. The eternal beach battle.
- Afternoon: Actual beach time. Reading, swimming, avoiding the sun. Start feeling philosophical. "Why are we here?" "What's the meaning of life?" "Why did I think this swimsuit was a good idea?"
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Ouzo time. Possibly two Ouzos. Maybe three. Observe the sunset. Get a little tipsy. Decide I am the meaning of life, and it involves more gyros and less worrying. Find a Taverna. Eat some fish. Try to learn a few "hello"s to communicate better.
- Bedtime: Attempt to remember how to get back to the apartment.
Day 3: Corfu Town - or at least attempt to go to Corfu Town…
- Morning: Actually get up early? The plan is to take the bus to Corfu Town. Hope I understand the bus schedule. (I won't).
- Mid-Morning: Arrive in Corfu Town. Wander. Get lost (inevitably). Admire the Venetian architecture. Marvel at the sheer beauty. Buy some sort of souvenir I will later regret.
- Afternoon: Find a random cafe. People-watch. Get distracted by a cat. Decide I want to live in Corfu…at least until the next mosquito bite. Possibly get lost in the narrow streets for a good hour, finding out I'm not as good in navigation as I thought.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Try to find the bus back. Fail. Consider bribing someone with a gyro. Eventually, somehow, miraculously, succeed.
Day 4: Boat Trip! (fingers crossed)
- Morning: The big one! Boat Trip! This is the dream. Booked it in advance. Hoping it lives up to the hype. Sunscreen x2. Camera x1. Dramamine? Maybe. I get seasick in a bathtub. Packed a spare change of clothes in case I end up overboard (metaphorically or otherwise).
- All Day: Boat trip! Hopefully see stunning coastlines, swim in turquoise waters, eat delicious food. If the boat is too crowded, I will have a meltdown. Hopefully, a beautiful little bay will make up for it. FINGERS CROSSED.
- Evening: Post-boat trip euphoria or post-seasickness groaning. Depends on the seas. At least a large portion of the day will be spent at the beach. Probably.
- Bedtime: Crash.
Day 5: Attempting Something "Cultural" (and Failing Gloriously)
- Morning: Decide to be cultured. Visit an ancient castle. Or a gallery! Or something. Probably get distracted by a pastry shop on the way.
- Mid-Morning: Stumble upon a hidden gem. A tiny church with a gorgeous view or a little shop selling beautiful handmade jewelry. Maybe. The most likely outcome is that I'll get frustrated by the lack of English road signs and end up back on the beach.
- Afternoon: Beach. I'll admit it. I'm predictable.
- Evening: Find a taverna with live music. Attempt to dance. Make a fool of myself. Have a blast. Eat more gyros.
- Bedtime: Fall asleep dreaming of turquoise water and the taste of tzatziki…
Day 6: Double Down on the Boat Trip (or a desperate attempt to replicate the magic)
- Morning: The boat trip was amazing. I need more. Try to find a different boat trip, hoping to somehow recreate the magic.
- All Day: Fail. The second boat trip isn't quite as good/crowded/smooth. Have a smaller trip to a remote beach. I swim a lot.
- Evening: Realize my tan lines are a disaster. Search for a good gelato place. Find one. eat. repeat.
Day 7: Departure. Or, the inevitable realization that I never did half the things I wanted to do…
- Morning: Pack. Stare sadly at all the things I didn't see or do. Buy more souvenirs. Stuff my suitcase with local olive oil.
- Afternoon: Taxi to the airport. Reflect on my week of chaos, gyros, and near-constant bewilderment.
- Evening: Depart. Already planning my return. Corfu, you have my heart. Until next time!
Escape to Paradise: Olga Apartments - Your Corfu Dream, Messy as Life Itself!
Okay, spill the beans. Is Corfu REALLY as dreamy as the brochures say, and are the Olga Apartments the key?
Alright, real talk time. Corfu? Yeah, it's pretty darn dreamy. Think turquoise water that makes you double-take, sunsets that'll make you sob (in a good way, mostly), and enough olive groves to feed a small army. The brochures aren't *entirely* lying.
The Olga Apartments... well, that's where it gets interesting. They’re definitely part of the dream. My first impression? Okay, it wasn’t immediately “paradise.” I’d flown overnight, was slightly grumpy, and the entrance… well, let's just say it wasn't exactly Instagram-ready. But the woman who runs the place (we’ll call her Eleni) welcomed me like a long-lost relative, which instantly changed the mood. And then I saw the view from the balcony… BAM. Dreamy. Seriously, those panoramas of the ocean and the little boats bobbing… yeah, they’re addictive.
Pro Tip: Don't expect perfection. Things are a little… lived-in. But that’s part of the charm. Think character, not sterile hotel room.
How about the location? Is it a trek to get anywhere?
Location, location, location! It's everything, right? Olga Apartments are in a little village… let's call it "charmingly remote." It's not bang-smack-in-the-middle-of-the-party-scene-Corfu. That was perfect for me. You'll need a car, though. Absolutely. Don't even think about public transport. Unless your idea of a holiday is waiting for buses in sweltering heat.
The upside? Peace. Quiet. Stunning views. Driving felt a little challenging at first because the maps are… well, often wrong. But eventually, you embrace the "adventure" of getting lost. And finding hidden beaches. You'll be rewarded, trust me. One time I almost drove off a cliff following Google Maps. I yelled! But I found an amazing little taverna afterward. The food was INCREDIBLE. So, a win, even for a near-death experience!
The apartments themselves... what can I expect? Are they clean? And is the wifi even reliable?
Okay, the apartments. They're… practical. They're not *luxury*, but they’re comfortable and clean enough. (I'm picky about that. I need a clean loo!) You’ll find the basics. The kitchen is good for making a simple breakfast and snacks. Cooking gourmet meals? Maybe not.
The cleaning service? Mostly flawless. They're in there most days. But, and this is my honesty flag, I spilled red wine on the sofa on my first night. I tried to hide it. Didn't work. Blaming my jet lag. Anyway, it got cleaned up with a smile! The wifi? Ah, the wifi. Let's call it… temperamental. Sometimes blazing fast, sometimes... gone. I eventually gave up, and that was kind of liberating. It was a digital detox, whether I wanted it or not.
Speaking of food… What's the food situation like around the Olga Apartments? Any must-try restaurants or tavernas nearby?
FOOD! My favorite topic! Around Olga Apartments, you're not exactly in a foodie mecca, but you can eat like a king, or at least a well-fed prince. Forget stuffy fine dining, it's all about local tavernas. I found that's where you get the real flavor of Corfu (pun intended!).
There wasn't a huge range, but each place, to me, was magic. The best part? The prices. It’s like being in a secret food club.
One taverna I absolutely *must* recommend… I wish I could remember the name. It was just down the coast, a short drive. I went three times. Seriously, the fish. To die for! Simple, fresh. And the view… oh, the view. My advice? Ask Eleni. She knows all the hidden gems. Just promise not to tell everyone. We want to keep the magic.
So, is it kid-friendly? Or more of a romantic getaway kind of place?
Hmm, kid-friendly... that depends on the kid! It’s not a resort with a kids' club and a giant swimming pool. There’s no dedicated play area. But the beach is perfect. And they’ll love running around. Honestly, it’s probably ideal for kids who can appreciate the simple things. More like a back-to-basics holiday. You'll have to entertain them yourself. I'd have loved the kids. (If I had any...)
Romantic? Absolutely. The sunsets, the quiet evenings on the balcony with a bottle of wine… pure bliss. And it's bliss that doesn't cost a fortune. I saw a couple there, who'd clearly forgotten how to speak, the sparkle in their eyes. So yes, romantic. Very.
What about the pool? Or is it a beach kind of vacation?
There’s a pool! It's a nice, smallish pool. Perfect for a quick cool-down. It's not massive, but it's enough. I spent a lot of time there. It's a pleasant, sunny spot. But come one, you're in Corfu! The beaches are where the magic *really* happens.
I could go on about the beaches. The pebbles, the sand, the water that's so clear you can see the fish swimming beneath you. I spent hours just staring out at the sea and doing *absolutely nothing*. Pure bliss. It was the perfect antidote to a stressed-out life. It made me forget everything, even my responsibilities. It had me laughing. And crying. A lot. It felt so good I booked immediately for the next year!
Any downsides to watch out for? Be brutally honest!
Okay, brutal honesty time. Here's the messy reality.
First, you'll get bugs. Mostly harmless, but the mosquitoes… they feasted on me. Bring repellent. Seriously. Don’t underestimate them.
Second, the early mornings can be noisy. The roosters. Those darn roosters! And the garbage trucks. Pack earplugs, or embrace the rustic wake-up call.
And third, oh, the roads! The roads, man! They're narrow, winding, and sometimes, downright terrifying. And the locals drive like… well, let's just say, with a certain amount of flair. Drive defensively.
But honestly? ThoseHotel For Travelers
