[GR] Corfu Fly In Sunday 28th March 2010

Winter in Greece is almost over, and we are already moving towards a beautiful spring.
The temperature begins to rise, the tourist season begins in a few weeks and thousands of people will fly here for their vacation.
As expected, the Greek Division of IVAO gives you a warm welcome with another great Event:

Corfu Island, called “Kerkyra” by Greek people, is one of the most known and popular tourist destinations of Greece.
Neatly placed at the north-west edge of Greece, surrounded by the amazing Ionian Sea, offers to its visitors a wide variety of clean seashores, great monuments and a spectacular landscape.

Corfu is also famous for the unique celebration of the Orthodox Easter.
One of its best attractions during this period is Botides (pronounced: bo-tee-des), with people throwing big ceramic pots from the balconies of the houses surrounding the central square in the city of Kerkyra. The whole event is followed by local philharmonic orchestras marching through the streets in parade formations, creating an unforgettable experience!

Some samples of Botides

Bring your wings to Corfu and enjoy the spirit of this very unique attraction!

Expect a fully staffed Corfu airport (LGKR) and Greek FIR.

Charts can be found easy using google search like the example:
