A ΄magical΄ opening of the Christmas Fairy Tale in Corfu Town last night!

The high spot - as was to be expected - was when Santa Claus landed (from the roof of a block of flats) in the Christmas village and handed out gifts to the youngsters.

See more photos here.

The opening event closed with an address from Mayot Meropi Ydraiou, who thanked everyone for all their efforts and declared that this was just a 'taste' of Chritstmas in Corfu and that next year the whole town will be transformed into a fairy tale.

The children all enjoyed the Christmas lights and the sky lit up by fireworks along with the Sugar Queen, Rudolf, Fricadella and all the Snowmen!
