But, there was a mini market showing open in the small town of Plataria, just past Elena\u2019s camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we took a punt and headed off to the one open shop we could find. We sort of had enough food for this evening, and the morning, and the campsite has a busy restaurant, but we only had scraps and we wanted a bit more to eat than that. We could do a bigger shop in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First stop was diesel. There are a few BP garages in Igoumenitsa, one selling at 1.51, one at 1.49 and the one we chose at 1.47. Odd they\u2019re all different. And the one we went to had a pump attendant too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" data-attachment-id=\"9896\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1125\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cheapest bp in ig-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1-600x338.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/cheapest-bp-in-ig-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two BP garages next to each other, first cheaper than second for some unknown reason!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then off to Plataria.

There is still litter everywhere and there are many half finished buildings sitting quiet. There are even more villas, apartments and hotels under construction waiting for a further tourism increase. The food is relatively cheap and the weather fantastic for a week or two away. But there\u2019s very little left of the old Corfu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow we\u2019re off to Brindisi and the proper Italian leg of the trip.
