I have received further information from Lesley at Corfu Seletions:

Inter Resort Pass Prices:
€5 for a 1 day pass, €15 for a 7 days pass and €25 for a 14 days pass.

The pass will entitle its purchaser to take as many journeys as they wish, during the valid period of the pass, on a circular routed bus service that will circuit the resort towns of Sidari, Roda, San George, Arillas, San Stefanos and back to Sidari.

Service timetable will be confirmed at a meeting due to take place shortly.

Queries on Trip Advisor and suchlike travel related forums show that the lack of a regular bus service deters many people from visiting this part of the island.  I hope the project gets off the ground - it can only be good for Arillas

Why would anyone want to go anywhere else apart from Arillas?

We rarely ever do Al and Sal. But would be nice to be able to wave the bus off in a smug "glad we missed it" fashion....

I think its a really good idea especially for those who may not be able to afford the hire of car's bike's or even boats, the area's surrounding Arillas are great but when you take a little trip is'nt it nice then to come back to Arillas...also it will give others who are not staying the chance to visit and maybe come back and stay the following year- all helps

And, it could help many with the "Lack of cash machine problem" plus get a bit of a trip out for little cost.

We will keep everyone updated as to when and timings etc as soon as we have a list of vendors participating.  We hope this will encourage people from other resorts to visit Arillas and of course vice versa. Helping the local economy in each of the resorts as well.

One word, brilliant.
This would be a godsend for all the people who now find that walking even into San Stef a little hard on the old legs, or in mine and Bills' case the old heart!!

Pity it won't start until we leave.

Val luvver, I've just mused on Facetube with tearing up the tickets back. Sad bit is that we don't even get tickets on Easy Jet. I'll tell you though, if we could, Jen and me would stay from 29th July until 31st October. The sad bit is that we will be in UK from 30th July till 24th October. At least we are already booked to go home in half term.

See you soon
Phil

Phil and Jen, we too leave early hours on 30th July so 29th is our last day also, but only until next time.

'Next time in Arillas',....  have become my favourite words.

Unfortunately we will have to wait until next year having had one visit home already.

We are bringing Nic's elderly parents next year, and I know they would really like to use the bus service. It will be their first and probably only visit to corfu and they will want to see as much as they can without being reliant on me driving (I'm willing), unfortunately since a slight stroke my father inlaw has reduced peripheral vision so can't drive. Lots of first timers like to see as much as they can and I think this can only encourage first timers.
