Finding Sappho in Corfu
OLIVIA JONES EXPERIENCES LOVE AND LOCAL ATTENTION ON HER HONEYMOON
Four weeks ago, I got married, and the most common question I’ve been greeted with since is: “How was the honeymoon?” It was bloody lovely, let me tell you. My wife bought us a Top 10 Things To See In Crete book and, two weeks before the trip, I admitted my mistake and told her it was the other Greek island beginning with “C”. Corfu was beautiful. We were wary about holding hands in our private taxi, but once we arrived in our resort we were greeted with champagne and a handshake. Outside the hotel, the glistening ocean was still and expanded way beyond the horizon. In our sea view room, the towels had been folded into swans and there were rose petals scattered on the bed. The mini fridge had a bottle of prosecco and there was fresh fruit.
