Well we first went in 1983, and some years we went twice - we did miss a year once, otherwise I have lost count exactly how many times!
I must look through my photos one day to find the first trip pictures!

Well done chris - at least we experienced San Stef when we were young studs (still are!),
It was the "Real" SS experience in those days, completely un-commercialised - no street lights,
and the welcome was even better then!!
We have seen this place grow into what it is now, what an experience!!

Do the oldie regulars prefer the SS of late 70's early 80's or as it is now, or has it just changed to an acceptable degree?

First - Have a good one Chris!!!

Zimmer - we love S S both before and after, Some things about the early days were just brilliant:-
more relaxed, as in "don't worry, pay me tomorrow", more personal in some ways, stronger friendships in some ways
we saw a lot more of the Avliotes villagers at every "Greek Night", lots of little things!
Whats better now;-
It has grown and matured beautifully - nice shops, tarmac'ed roads, pavements, street lights, more professional entertaiment,
and more people, yet it's never crowded! It feels the same even though it has changed!!

Each time is always better than the last time for most folk!
Chris / Zoe - yes check Manthos's pictures - some real old ones of us there as well, also go for lunch one day,
in the Havana Bar, on the Beach - Ask Spiros (the older guy), to see his Album - he has a load of good pictures,
including us, in his Album!!
Have a great holiday and don't forget to leave a drink behind the Bar for me and Don!! LOL

Sorry folks but - at this moment in time - my philosophy is, theres an awful lot of Greece out there,it hasnt all been taken over by discos and traffic,so not seeing it would be - for me - a terrefic opportunity lost "A hundred islands for a hundred holidays" [ well if I'm lucky maybe 25 ] so I cant see me going back somewhere more than twice...where else do I want to go?

Cephalonia
Naxos
Skiathos
Halkidiki
Lesvos
Samos
 Other non Greek

Sicilly

Sardinia
Corsica----and of course I have my retirement Aegean cruise in 011, hopefully

Well thats great but - are you being serious:) ?the problem is, perhaps, we're not all as fortunate as you , maybe once a year is as good as we can get? or can afford, in which case I prefer to be selective and not stick to the same thing, however loved and trusted it is, I havent seen those places and would like to do so ,if that means not going to SS then thats the way it is, why restrict mysylf?
