    Sounds like she had some valid criticism for the hotel as well. All inclusive package, but pay extra for water? Wtf.

    But honestly, I have no idea why she would expect English food in Greece. Spain only does it because of all the English tourists, it’s not an international standard to serve English food or something.

      To provide some context: Corfu received strong British influence in the past and was under the crowns reign for a few decades. It has remained a frequented destination for upper-class British tourism into the early 20th century as I have heard.

      It was probably bottled water they’d been buying as they didn’t want to drink the stuff out the tap.

      Didn’t want to risk getting ill with her condition I’m presuming.

        Yeah but if alcoholic beverages are included in the all-inclusive, why not bottled water? Or at least sell it at a sane price.

        She was looking for bacon, sausages and fries, pretty sure greasy food is worse for her condition.

      It reads like she didn’t check ahead of booking, if you have some sort of allergy, she she appears to, its essential to check ahead.

      It also reads like excluding tax, they paid about £600 for flights, transfers, hotel and all inclusive, each. I am not surprised that the food and drink would be closer to the budget end for that price.
