Solo travel trip around the Greek island of Corfu! I found The Durrells house!

[@maryannsfantasticvoyage5209]

I bought the books after seeing the series. I wanted to go to Corfu too. I decided it was to hard and that I would be wanting the Durrell family to be there and of course they would not. Your show is great, I am especially loving this visit to Cofu and all your ideas and tips. Who knows might still get there who knows... ~Mary Ann

[@apjhdee]

I stayed at Gouvia years ago, brought back memories thank you x

[@prisillaspace]

I 💙🤍‘d this show!! The funniest!

[@helenalexander2567]

Thank you so much for the travel vlog it brought back so many lovely memories of when I was there many moons ago. I really believe a producer out there should offer you a travel programme on national tv as your vlogs are informative, beautifully shot and relaxing. It’s not surprising you make friends so easily as you have a lovely personality. Lots of love xxx

[@Krystaleigh1]

Snap, I booked a last minute solo cruise around Greece and just came back Friday! My first solo holiday and I’m so glad I did it 😊

[@DaintyDiaries]

Agh love to hear that! Wasn’t the weather just beautiful❤️

[@Krystaleigh1]

Dainty Diaries it was amazing! It’s opened up so many doors now for future trips where no one is available to go, I can just jet off on my own!

[@designdoctor247]

Eeeekkkk u r very inspiring!

[@dieselsantana16]

What's the name of the cruise you booked? And were there more people solo or just you?

[@Krystaleigh1]

Merlin van Es It was a Marella cruise, booked through TUI. Itinerary was Aegean shores I think. There were quite a few other solos on board to meet up with if I fancied some company. I did a couple of organised trips and spent them with other solos

[@madzabinga8382]

The Durrells in Corfu quickly became one of our favorite TV series during lockdown. We really enjoyed it, and were also so inspired by the island and how lovely it looked. Awesome for you that you went and visited! Fun vlog!

[@AdrianaYRstudio]

My parents bough a house in Greece where they plan to retire. I still haven’t visited it because of all the restrictions 🥲 and how confusing it all was. We are thinking about booking flights for January to go visit and your vlog gave me confidence it might not be as hard as we are fearing ❤️ In really glad to see world reopening. Thank you, have a great Sunday x

[@DaintyDiaries]

yes, it isn't too bad, it felt really normal but just with some extra checks x

[@sharonsunshine2532]

Oh my gosh!!!! You are traveling again! Woo hoo 😄💛💛💛👏👏👏 Your travel videos relax me and help me fall sleep. I've watched them over and over again. Thanks Catherine 💛💛 God bless you 🙏🙏 ENJOY YOUR TRAVELS SWEETS. As far as the vax, masks, etc... it's all choice. All is well 😆💛💛💛💛

So happy you got away for a holiday Catherine. Corfu is beautiful. I have never solo travelled, been with my partner 23yrs. It wouldn’t be fair to leave him home haha. Looked like you had a lovely time 😊💖

So many travel vlogs neglect footage of the local cats, and I appreciate your attention to this important detail.

Amazin... looks stunnin!! A single supplement angers me when bookin any holiday! 💕

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw I know, so frustrating isn’t it for us solos ❤️

[@SHYsArt]

@@DaintyDiaries at least you got one, none of the cruise lines have a single supplement they make you pay double. I have been a solo traveler for over 33 years. I love to travel, there is still so much to see.

[@rocsund]

oh my I finished all the seasons of Durrell's and I cried on the last episode :) . You inspire me to do solo traveling. I will definitely visit Corfu, on my own. Thank to you!

[@tanyawashington3782]

I’m glad that you had a nice time. I’m in the U.S. and I’m flying from Pennsylvania to Las Vegas next month. Although it’s still within the US, I’ll be staying at the beautiful Venetian hotel (AKA Little Italy) I booked myself a suite and can’t wait to go.

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

I was utterly delighted to see this!! Corfu is such an incredibly beautiful island. I loved it. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@loriar1027]

I know exactly how you feel about dreary winter months. I grew up in the north of the US where winters are long, cold and gray. After college I moved to Texas, and, aside from the crazy politics here, I love the weather. I don't even mind the hot summers if I can be near a pool. But it made me realize I need sunshine! Glad you got a little break. Corfu looks amazing!

[@pumpkinseeds768]

I thoroughly recommend grabbing a local bus, wherever you go. I used to do it all the time years ago, when it was just me and my 2 kids. You can go for miles, get on and off when you want to and it's definitely loads cheaper! Just memorise your surroundings when you first get on the bus, so you know where to get off on the way back. Great video Catherine, I'm glad you had a lovely time. 💕

[@DaintyDiaries]

You can't beat the local buses, and these ones had wifi and air con, so a big win x

[@sharong8511]

When I went to Hawaii years ago we took the city bus to an open air shopping mall in Honolulu. The bus ride was one of the more interesting activities we did there. The bus travelled through some of the more gritty areas of the city. I believe it was a Sunday morning and we saw things that are not pictured in any tourist brochures. I preferred to talk with people who actually lived on Oahu. I befriended a young man who said he lived with his mother and siblings. His mother tended their garden where she grew some cannabis plants. When it was harvested and dried he would go to the tourist beaches and sell the cannabis to help support the family. (His father had abandoned them and paid no family support.) He was a very nice young man, perhaps 16 at the time. We bonded over pop music and I invited him to our condo for a cold drink and to meet my mother who I was traveling with. It was a simple friendship. I was in my early twenties at the time and I really enjoyed meeting people. I still do enjoy meeting people although I don’t get out nearly as much as I used to.

[@shanimarais9695]

You are 100% correct! You are a flower... a beautiful little rose 🌹

[@Jasmine-hh3kt]

Oh my goodness! I fell in love with The Durrells during lockdown and promised myself to head to Corfu one day. It’s a bit of a trek from here in Australia, but I’ll get there one day. Watching your vlog has made me want to go there even more!

[@DaintyDiaries]

Oh yes, from where you are that is a trek, but think of the adventure you could have x

[@missmakoti9702]

Thank you for taking us with you. I started watching the Durrells in the summer of 2019 and thought that Corfu was going to be my holiday destination in 2020 🙈 Still haven’t traveled anywhere so I really enjoyed this video.

[@DaintyDiaries]

Awww, well I can happily report the island is as beautiful on person as the show ❤️

[@lindawrench8437]

How beautiful! Greece is on my bucket list. I just finished watching the Durrells in July it was one of my favorite shows.

[@Anne_FitzG]

Fantastic travel blog, I've done many solo holidays, but never Corfu. It looks just gorgeous! The Durrells is a fabulous series - would be worth going to bump into that Spiro 😆

[@DaintyDiaries]

ha ha, Spiro is a cutie!

[@theguest4516]

It sounds like you have S.A.D's = Seasonal Affective Disorder or just a fancy way of saying you need sunlight. You can buy a special lamp that I've heard works wonders. I need one too. I keep forgetting!!! ☺️ How wonderful ya got to travel. I'm so jealous that Europeans can so easily go to other countries. I live in Alberta 🇨🇦. Sorry America but, I am not going there!!! To many problems and people not liking each other. Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world. Vancouver BC is fun though and only 12-14 hrs away by car 🚗 or 45 mins by plane, but I've driven so many times and have favorite stops along the way. Going through The Rocky Mountains is so so beautiful!!! Check it out. Sorry this is so long. I'm glad you got to travel some place so beautiful. Take care and have fun!!! 💃🕺💃 😷😎😷

[@angelakneller2880]

I have been to Corfu lovely. Not solo but I have done holidays on my own. With a group but on my own. Went to Nepal, Italy, Cyprus and lanzarote and Greek island of Ithaca all on my lonesome but thoroughly enjoyed them x

[@DaintyDiaries]

Oh them places wound amazing, nothing like a little solo wander x

[@bethany5688]

Hi, I’m new to your Chanel and am loving it👍. I have to say Corfu is one of my favourite Greek Islands, I stayed at the Kontokali Bay Resort which is next door to where The Durrells was filmed. One day we were out walking and saw all the lorry’s bringing the set and costumes, didn’t realise what they were filming until we got home….I was glued to the tv when The Durrells started. Your video brought back so many happy memories of a beautiful Island, thank you and I glad you had a good holiday.

[@lisacheezecheeze1002]

I ♥️ that series! It's definitely on my bucket list .... thank you for this video!

We traveled to DisneyLand and we were very very nervous. We felt VERY 😀safe at Disney but honestly IMO the air planes did not feel safe .. we were packed in like sardines 😳 praise God we did not get sick and we neeeeeeded that get away. We live in the country and we were going uuuhhh a bit crazy

[@juliepitchford7324]

Amazing. You gave me the confidence to do a solo trip for 4 nights to Majorca I too went all inclusive to make it easier for me. The one thing I couldn't get my head around was people did ask me why I was in my own 🤷 I was so glad I did it as it was just a few months before covid began

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw so happy to hear that Julie! I found this time when people asked was I on my own they were like " fair play". It has become more common now to solo travel. I joke sometimes and say "it was too expensive to bring all my boyfriends with me" lol

So excited Catherine... You are finally getting to travel again😊. So HAPPY for you🤗. I love your travel vlogs as much as your home vlogs.. Anything you do is wonderful 🤗. I hope you have a fabulous holiday.. OK.. Now I will watch your vlog😂 So agree.. I live in NW Germany and it is grey for weeks at a time.. It is really depressing (continental weather gets stuck for ages). I prefer coastal living where you get everything multiple times a day.. But at least you see the sun more. I used to love traveling alone and off season (before kids and school holidays😭). I backpacking around Australia and New Zealand alone. On my New Zealand trip I met loads of great backpackers.. Nearly all from Irland. You meet so many great people when traveling alone. I always take vacation days when traveling for work eg Caribbean, Russia, China.. I have never had any problems when traveling alone. I went diving in Australia on the Great Barrier Reef. And there was an English guy who couldn't swim. The dive company we went out with, took him out.. He had 2 buddies.. One on each arm.. And he was so happy and couldn't stop smiling when he came back from his dive on the reef 🤗. He said as soon as he goes home he will learn to swim. I am sure he did to. I got bitten by a spider in Australia that spread and swelled my leg from my bum to my knee.. Two guys gave me cream at the YH and then the chemist gave me stuff the next day. People are always so helpful. I always do old school and print out everything. The battery can run out on a phone, especially if on longer travel days.

[@sheilajones4491]

Hi Catherine thanks for posting this charming blog. I was last in Corfu in 1997!! I, like you, wanted to visit but it was after reading the durrell books "my family and other animals" as a girl. It did not disappoint and your vlog brought back many memories. Like you I have done lots of solo travel, I last went to "Death in paradise" island Guadeloupe on my own in 2016 - and survived lol - there is something about travelling alone which kind of forces you out of your comfort zone, and like you I don't want to limit myself just because I live alone. I love your channel - so warming and comforting. Strangely I also have a white female cat called Lolly looks like your blondie. I also have her 3 boy siblings - don't think I would trust myself going to a shelter lol - that episode was adorable though. Keep doing what you are doing - you are definitely a super star 🌟 your friends are lucky to have you xxx

[@OscarsWilde]

OOH looks beautiful and a great time. Il give Greece a bash now. I'm a Canaries girl, always end up there. Had a week in Lanzarote in August, was so nice to get away again but I wanna try somewhere else. Thanks for the inspiration. So glad you got your much deserved sun break away xx

A general travel tip is to drink bottled water instead of tab water to prevent getting diarrhea 😂

[@ppwendypp]

Oh this brought back some wonderful memories for me! Our first trip abroad with 2 kids (ages 10 & 12) was way back in 1987! We stayed in Paleokastrista and did that same trip with spectacular bay views...except we walked all way up through the olive groves! We wondered whether the kids would manage, but they were/are sturdy, and it took us about 30/40 minutes...and we treated them to huge ice creams at the cafe at the top. You are so right, the views are out of this world, and the walk down (by road this time) was just as lovely. So glad you had a wonderful time, it looks just as it did way back then - it's a beautiful island. Our second trip there was without kiddos, and we cycled all over the place, and saw some of what you showed here on the east of the island. Happy days and memories...and I've been to other Greek islands too, all different and all gorgeous, but Corfu is special. You are right about the boat trips sometimes being long...we did the trip to Paxos, and was too long for the kids. Even I ended up feeling queasy!! But the water there is so beautiful. Just too long of a boat ride. Thank you for the video...made my evening :-)

[@jeanmitchell3831]

I just booked a cruise for November. It will be my first time solo cruising! so looking forward to it!

[@JMarieCAlove]

How wonderful for you to travel to another beautiful country! I bet it was nice to see a different atmosphere and ocean and take the time to relax and explore. I would love to travel abroad more now. Before I met my husband (our 28th anniversary was yesterday the 25th), I traveled to meet friends in other states and in Canada. It wasn’t really solo but I just was solo on the plane rides to the places I met my friends. I met them in California while they were tourists and I became friends with them, it’s fun to meet people from a different city or country. When I would visit them, they let me stay at their home, so that saved a lot of money from staying at a hotel. They took me to so many beautiful and fun places. It was also a great experience during my 20s, before cellphones, I had to call from a pay phone to tell my mom I was safe! Lol, now being married, my husband loves to travel too. We’re going on a long road trip to a few states then next year go visit our niece in England who moved there several years ago. Even though I’m married, I would like to go on a solo vacation, Paris is my goal but I think bringing my husband with me would be more romantic, maybe I’ll just go to Las Vegas by myself! It’s only a 5 hour drive! 🙄 Lol… Thank you for sharing! I hope you’re able to go on more solo holidays, as you call it. So much to see on this Earth of ours. 💖

What month of the year did you travel to Corfu. Myself and my wife usually travel in July every two years and stay at my in law's house in South Corfu. My wife is Greek and myself Ecuadorian. In the past I traveled from NYC Dublin Corfu with a 8 hour layover in Dublin. I found the people in Dublin to be very friendly and kind.

Hi Catherine, so glad you got a break. I hope the sun has recharged your batteries. I thoroughly enjoyed your holiday especially as we are not having one. So, I enjoyed your sunshine and scenery very much. Now then young lady, you were saying that you struggle a bit from September to May. Go see your GP and ask for a blood test for your vitamin D level, as people have mentioned your tired a lot this time of year etc....and you wondered if you had S A D ! Before you go, Your man Monty Don suffers with S A D and you described it to a tea. I'm now on daily dose and it is a noticeable difference. Research Monty Don he was seriously ill with S A D. Thank you as always for a lovely holiday vlog, you do it so well. Safe journey, which you obviously... had. I'm sure you will enlighten us on your journey through to home. Take care keep safe.

We just got back from 2 weeks in Spain we flew with jet2 and both flights were only half full. We stayed at Lisa's brothers villa very swanky but I did love the pool , so much so .... as soon as we got home I've booked swimming sessions at the leisure centre early morning Monday, Wednesday and Fridays starting this Monday I'm so excited and proud of my self . I used to swimming a lot but age and health changes but even though I can't swim like I use to the strength in my arms really benefits from swimming so I'm a front swimmer in the slow lane 🤗can't wait. So pleased you got your wings on . The place looked magical. Stay safe stay well xx

I really enjoyed watching this video, I’m a new subscriber. I’m dipping my foot into solo travelling in May, going to Lake Garda n Venice. this was really helpful. I’m a lot older than n never travelled on my own before so it’ll b an experience for me.

I love your travel blogs. The Greek Islands are definitely a big favourite of mine. It's lovely to see you having a good time. With the farming my holidays are always either October or November. Like you, I need that bit of sun to get me through our Winter. Last year was so hard and the winter was never ending. I'm off to Morocco end of next month, the cost of the whole trip is a bargain, half of what I paid in October 2019. I was a bit concerned about Dublin airport but you have survived. Come here to me, we wouldn't be Irish if our bags weren't stuffed with the teabags and the chemists counter

Pronounce it pal e o kastritza. Beautiful views. I went to Corfu many years ago and loved it. First and only time I swam in sea as crystal clear and calm. Like swimming in spring water. Did you have to be double jabbed to go there?

[@ehpeachylove]

What a beautiful place to visit Catherine. You did an amazing job on filming. You are such a lovely, sweet, and entertaining too. I’m glad you took the trip. 😍

[@alfiesflower8218]

[@aimeysdollandtoycollection9763]

this is awesome. I'm glad you got to get away finally. How was the Travelling in and out of the country? I would love to get out.. haha I type this AS you started talking about travel answers haha. Like I knew.

I let the ads run, today. thank you for showing us such a beautiful place! Do you have some light bulbs that give the sunlight, natural light for winter-- they help me in the winter. And yes it takes some adjusting back into everything more open. Edited to add, I'm 63 and not a swimmer either

I travelled on my own with my 3 kids a few years ago. Stayed all inclusive as I always do as it’s sooooooo much cheaper and the kids can have whatever they want. As a single parent, it’s hard when they want drinks and ice cream all time but with all inclusive, you’re covered. Also the entertainment is great and free :) they make friends, you make friends. You sip cocktails and spend a lot less!! Love it. I was in Corfu many years ago but it was a couples holiday so didn’t see all the beautiful things you did, as you’re pleasing others lol. Fair play to you 😘from one Dub to another 🥰
