San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

thanks all. I'm with you Gav, its not so much us putting up with tantrums etc (we're used to it!!), but the impact it has on the rest of the diners.  Its good to know that you all think it would be fine.  We're going at half term next year, so there might be a few more children around anyway.

We love trying out good restaurants here in the UK, so we'll make sure we try some of the others next time.

I don't think Kostas would be pleased to read this review at all! It'll be interesting to see how a less than favourable review goes down on Trip Advisor! Its certainly not the way he would expect his staff to behave.  I agree with Debra that we didn't experience this at all in our homeymoon stay there this year - the four male waiters/bar staff could not have been more attentive and friendly, I'm intrigued which one it was. Maybe there's some truth in it being one rule for residents and another for visitors - which it shouldn't be of course.  How disappointing though for you Silverstar, especially as it wasn't your first visit there and wanted to show it off.

Kostas told me he used to be a professional footballer (goalkeeper) in Germany and on the mainland in Greece.  He certainly seems to have a reputation as a businessman who works his staff extremely hard.  We met Dimitri (I think?) from Brouklis in Arillas (great restaurant), and it seems Kostas' reputation is the same there. We also heard the rooms/hotel next to Delfino (where the greek flag flies) were going to be a partnership with Kostas and another man, but that they had fallen out.

Do you think there's an underlying issue here of too many restaurants in the village?  I know we all have our favourites and some are definitely more full than others, but in the end, there are only so many visitors staying at any one time, so not all can survive? (putting my tin hat on now for the responses!!)

I guess our prices were up due to booking a bit later?  Hopefully we'll get them for under £200 this time, though as we're away for half term, I doubt it!

Having flown Ryanair from Stansted in Sept 2012 and Easyjet from Luton in June this year, our opinion is Stansted is the better airport but Easyjet were the better airline.  We had good flight times on both occasions, early flights out getting to SS by mid-afternoon and returning in the middle of the day, meaning we didn't endure a very early morning departure or hanging around in the resort. Getting a taxi transfer is a big plus too, at 45 mins its sooo much better than the 2 hour Thompson transfer bus.  We'd definitely recommend it, it works well for us.  As you said, Easyjet are releasing their April, May and June 2014 flights in early Sept.

Easyjet posted on their Facebook page yesterday that their Apr, May and June flights will be going on sale in early Sept.  I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a flight on May 20th from Luton/Stansted!

saw a couple on the beach when we were there 9-20 June following the strong winds/waves and another in the creek near Waves. All dead and about the size of a £2 coin...

We were very fortunate to be staying at Delfino Blu for our honeymoon from 9-20 June. Staff and service are excellent. 5 course evening meal - soup, starter (3 choices), salad, main (3 choices), dessert (3 or 4 choices).  Chef is trying to do local dishes every night.  Not cheap by SS standards at €25 + wine, but you do get a lovely meal, superb service and a great setting - when its not windy!
