Our plane touched down in Corfu twenty minutes ahead of schedule. It doesn't take 5 hours to fly from Germany to Greece, but by building in ample time for delays, RyanAir can be punctual without being all that speedy.

Corfu is one of many weekend drinking destinations for Northern European revelers that was largely born out of the discount airline trend. Culture is not always easy to come by, but you will never find yourself lacking in white sand beaches or drinks housed in pineapples.
