San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

      1st   ( By a long long way )   Olympia    Best food , welcome & house wine

      2nd  Mythica    Good food & wine   Faultless service

      3rd   Akrotiri  Excellent food ( Especially the salads )  Panoramic views  of San Stef & Arrillas   

  Just been speaking to a friend who flew in from Edinburgh  and he calls the A D F  the Get Out OF Norfolk tax or the GOON tax !

 Does anyone use Norwich Airport to fly to Corfu with Thomson ?   If so what are the feelings of the 100% increase in the Airport Development Fee ( A D F )
 It was introduced a few years ago at £3.00 but soon went up to £5.00  and from Jan 2012 will be £10.00  Have they reached the point were customers from South Norfolk will consider to travel from Stansted ?
  As we live at North Norfolk  Norwich Airport is only a 30 min drive away  We may find its cheaper for four people to fly from Stansted for a cheaper holiday and better flight times
    Despite several  years of A D F and many millions raised , passengers do not have a bus to take them to the plane and on return have to queue outside for passport control   !
 

Thats good value    Was the food good quality   At the other end of the scale ( for us ) we were paying around 75 Euros for two courses and a bottle of local wine in Sorrento  Italy
 
 Even paid 1 Euro to use the toilet in Capri 
 

Hi arebours
   
    Recently returned from our 7th stay in San Stef  and yes   prices are a little bit more than previous years but they are still very reasonable     As has been said before Mythos - Amstel is about 2.3  2.5 Euros
   We enjoyed (several ) LITRE carafes of house wine at The Waves at 6.5 Euros  and litres were 9 Euros at Mythica ,Beachcomber and The Olympia , Many places do a " Meal Deal " A main meal and a glass of wine at around 7.5 Euros
   and that's  very good value  We were eating swordfish with a glass wine  ,and complimentary coffee , at the Olympia for 7.5 Euros  Compare that with the same meal in Norwich a few days ago Swordfish was £14.50 and a medium wine was £ 4.20 a glass   
   One thing which hasn't been mentioned is the exchange rate When the Euro was introduced we were getting about 1.6 Euros to the pound now it's around 1.1 and that makes a huge difference.
  Having said that I think prices will be a little more next year  There are many things which are priceless however  The Greek way of life. the Greek people  San Stefanos sunset , the beach and sea

   One certain way to save money is not to buy a doughnut from that dreadful man on the beach !
