Hi. I have looked through the forum and cant find what I was looking for so thought I would put a post out to see if anyone can help.
A while ago someone had done a map from the Airport to Arillas, do you know where I can find it. I'm sure I could find my way there but remember the map being really good.
Thanks Jill
Jill
I'm sure it was Eileen who generated the map so hopefully she'll pick this thread up.
Cheers

Was it on this thread that Eileen started.

Eileen's original directions are here ......

My original Maps were missing so I have uploaded them again
Go to the last image, for airport and work upwards as per a full map ie South to North. Some images are zoomed to show detail. Please tell me if it is wrong or you think that more details could be added.

This was a second try

Its the route from the Airport to Arillas, and the markers can be photographs and/or instructions. You can also zoom in to see more detail.
If you look above the map you will see "View in Google Earth". If you click on this link and you have Google Earth installed, you can view the route. Then, whilst in Google Earth, if you go to "Tools" and then "Play Tour", Google Earth will zoom into the map and follow the route. You can also click on the markers and see the instructions and photograps.
I still need to do some work to get a printed version and hopefully get more photos of junctions etc.
Thanks everyone, will email Eileen as well. I'm fine once I get out of Corfu Town.
Jill
Dont get lost!!! Mind you, you probably have got "in built" sat-nav for Arillas :-)
Hi blondegirl, just need this holiday soooo much don't want to waste one minute of it driving around Corfu Town more than I have to.
Hi Jill
Hope you all have a fantastic time in Arillas - you certainly deserve your holiday. Eileen is definitely the one with the "Get out of Corfu Town" instructions!
Please give Spiro our love and tell him Roy and I have BOTH had operations on our shoulders and are hoping to be in Arillas at the end of September although nothing booked yet as I am still off work.
Send me a message when you get back.
Fiona
Fiona not going till the 22nd September so might even see you there again.
I definatly need this holiday the last 19 weeks have been the longest of my life, never realised how hard it would be caring for someone. Not sure if its relief that he didn't suffer and had no pain or if its grief but have never felt so tired.
Arillas and my greek mates are just what I need.
Jill
Here is another, easier way of creating car journeys, walks, city tours etc.
Go to http://www.gmap-pedometer.com
Here is the route from the airport to Arillas with markers at every kilometer ( it can be miles).
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2649313
This could be a very useful tool to help desribe excursions from Arillas
Think I must be doing something wrong Terry , start to follow route and get to marker 36 . I then click to pan down and end up in America . (Prefer Greece)

Very interesting Terry. The route seems to differ from the one Stamatis takes me in his taxi! We seem to go via the 'back streets' in Corfu town bypassing the coastal bit. Will have a good look to see if I can fathom it out!
Yammas,
Martin.
Hi Martinw
The back street route is ok if you know where you are going , I use that route when I am there . Once you know it is fine and easier to follow when you are ther than describe . I will have a look at a map and try to write it down if I can then everyone can have a go , but please don't blame me if you get lost ( I did the first couple of times LOL ).

I only know the route through Corfu town via the coastal road.
I have never tried the shorter route for two reasons.
1. I don't know it and after leaving the airport I just want to get to Arillas as quick as I can. Trying to find the new route on arrival day would be risky in case I got lost.
2. I love the initial view of the sea after leaving the airport and the journey through the town passed the two castles and the port etc is a lovely start to the holiday.
Maybe someone could do a Google route of the short cut through the town.
Sorry folks, I'm just messing again but could do with some help.
I want to find out if anyone can download the KMZ file from ........
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1221048&#Post1221048
and run it in Google Earth.
Thanks
Hi Terry,
After ignoring a few error messages the tour seems to work OK.
Jen
Thanks Jen,
You can only save Google Earth files on the Google Earth Community website. I now know that amyone can access them which means that walks, drives, etc can be uploaded and shared.
Cheers
