Customer Reviews

The Corfu Saga Moves On
What a great follow up to Greek Walls. John Waller's Account of his tireless efforts to upgrade his villa and build a swimming pool is sometimes hilarious always fascinating. The Greeks are either good guys (most of them) or bad guys (mainly his neighbour). They all share a rock solid reputation for being unreliable but it wouldn't be so much fun if everything happened as and when it should. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone going to Corfu especially those buying property.

Disappointing Sunset
Having bought the book to read during our first year of living in Greece we found it was written from a very different point of view to ours. It depicts the Greeks in an often disparaging way - OK, things don't happen quickly here but surely anyone knows that. If you are looking for a book on how not to do things the right way, then this is it. If you want to live as an ex-pat/have a holiday home then it could be useful. If you love the Greek way of life & want to experience it by integrating into a community, then this is certainly not an account of that.
