hello I am new to this forum infact to any forum I have M. S. can walk unaided indoors or with a stick but I need a scooter outside to get about with, I am of a certain age and have been looking on line for a small, traditional, quietish easy to get about resort in Corfu, and Roda looks as if it could be the place so with that in mind i would like some advice please on accomodation (self catering ) with easy access, i would be coming with a friend but she snores so we need a place with two bedrooms or a studio with sofa bed in the room.
Thanks Christine

Hi Christine - Roda is quiet enough and easy to get around and that is why I first came here ten years ago. The first thing is, are you bringing your own scooter with you and when do you want to come? Do you want a package holiday, or will you travel independently?
Let us know, and we'll go from there.
Steve

Thanks for the prompt reply Steve. I will bring my one piece folding scooter (MOBIE) i got it so I could go on holiday and get about with ease but have not traveled with it yet, as for using a tour operator or going it alone it depends on availability I like the idea of sorting flights and accommodation myself but The dates, I was looking for mid May but things dont seem to start till June (Flights) I could be wrong I live in Bradford West Yorkshire and have only looked at LBA dep By the way I have fallen in love with the Aspioti Pipitsa apartments the look just my sort of thing they look gorgeous. mobiescooters.com/

Christine if you try Olympic Holidays and Thomsons sites and select in flight only, both do flights in May and another site you might try is www.flightline.co.uk. I'm sure there are more sites where flights will be available but these are worth a try to begin with. Hope this helps

Pipitsa's Apartments would be good for you, Christine, being in the centre of the village. There is a short ramp up to the the little lane and ground floor apartments may have 2 or 3 steps up to them. They are very comfortable and Pipitsa will enrol you into her ever-growing band of friends who just seem to return every year. See our independent Accommodation chartfor others that might suit. None are as luxurious as Pipitsa's, but some have pools also. Of those that are close to the village, the following might be considered: Alexandros - quiet, close to the village, very easy access. Christofis - village centre, lovely hosts, quiet atrium, good access Eftichia - the edge of the village, lovely gardens, nice family, 2 steps up. Eleni - village centre, best gardens, quiet rear apartments, good access Makis - Cosmos or independent, pool, village location, very popular Maritsas - village centre, quiet, larger rooms, good access Nikos - village centre, quiet, next to minimarket, a couple of steps I know the mobility scooter you have. To fly with it, you must have gel batteries and it will arrive in the airport on the carousel. Best to wait at the top of the ramp to grab it as it comes up as the heavier parts may overshoot. I am not sure about starting dates, but these people fly from LBA: Fly from Corfu (CFU) to Leeds Bradford (LBA) with Jet2.com (www.jet2.com) Fly from Corfu (CFU) to Leeds Bradford (LBA) with First Choice (firstchoice.co.uk) Fly from Corfu (CFU) to Leeds Bradford (LBA) with Thomsonfly.com (thomsonfly.com) Fly from Corfu (CFU) to Leeds Bradford (LBA) with Ryanair (www.ryanair.com) or you have Doncaster: Fly from Corfu (CFU) to Doncaster Sheffield (DSA) with Thomsonfly.com (thomsonfly.com) Fly from Corfu (CFU) to Doncaster Sheffield (DSA) with First Choice (firstchoice.co.uk) Plenty to keep you going, but if you need more, just ask. Good Luck, Steve
