First visit since 2019

[loftyscot]

Hello San Stef lovers
We return to the village on Sunday 17th August, staying at Nafsika.
Looking forward to visiting old haunts and seeing the new ones too. We're only going for 4 nights, so we're planning a San Stef blast before we head home.
All the best everyone

A few changes since 2019 Lofty but also there will still be many familiarities.
Lovely part of the village and so many good tavernas on your doorstep. Have a great time.

A few changes around the pool area Lofty, new loungers, flower beds, shaded area near bar, and as BAJ says, your well placed for some lovely tavernas, enjoy your stay.

Thank you Winkie and BAJ.
We suspect the village will still be oozing its friendly charm and wraps itself around you with open arms.
We're looking forward to it.

No fridges is not too good...

We’ll survive without a fridge for 4 nights 
Must admit, definitely looking forward to staying in the old part, previously we’ve stayed in Olga several times and also Nondas…….no hill to climb this time.

I know Nafsika was an old favourite of Jimbo, so Mhairi and I will raise a glass of red to the old fella when we get there

What a lovely thought - enjoy the red, and have a wonderful few days of bliss.

As above, lovely thought indeed, have an amazing time  .

Spiros and George are looking after us in the Nafsika. Whisper it........but our room has a fridge 

We've set up camp at the Athina loungers and blissfully watch the world go by.

On Sunday we ate at Casa Nostra which served us two superb vegetarian pasta dishes. Last night was definitely not vegetarian as we tucked into great food again at Zorbas. Lovely to see Pavlos is still the great entertainer. He and his team are magic.

This year we booked via LastMinute.Com. The transfer was by Lord Travel and involved a change of bus in Roda. Just under 2 hours, but when we had a flight at 5.30, the bus gave us valuable snooze time.

All great so far

Good to read that your enjoying your stay David, nowhere better to chill, than being in San Stefanos

We spent our last 2 nights at the Greek night in the Nafsika and then dinner at Sand Hill on Wednesday, both enjoyable in their different ways. We met Hanna who owns Sand Hill and didn’t realise she used to run the Hideout Cocktail Bar a few years ago.

It was our first time at the Nafsika and we can see why Jimbo and Gillie loved it. We even met Julia the cleaner whom we hadn’t seen for ~14/15 years. Her daughters, Demitria and Sofianna used to have the ice cream parlour just down from the Athens Bar……it is now the Tattoo shop. We looked out old photos with Julia and had a great time learning about their young children now. The magic of San Stef 

After a leisurely lunch at Manthos on Thursday, we were picked up at 5pm and back to the airport for 6.15pm. With hand luggage only we were through passport control and into the UK departure lounge in 30 mins.

That’s twice we’ve done the short 4 night break to Corfu, last year we went to Moraitika, we’re lucky the easyJet Sun-Thu flight timings from Edi are perfect for it.

That said, we loved our trip this year. So much so, we’re thinking of doing a week next year but having 3 nights in Athens beforehand. We’ll get planning 

Hope you’ve enjoyed our little updates from the short break. For those still to go this year, get excited, it will be great.

Yammas!!
