Hi, can anyone tell me where beachcombers restaurant is, my husband thinks it is the same restaurant known as waves but I thought from seeing photos that the Beachcomber had an elevated terrace to watch the sunsets from. We had lunch at waves last time we were in SS and we entered waves from the beach.
Thanks in advance.
-
There you go its a really nice place to eat

Hi Lilly,
It's not far from waves actually, next to O' Manthos I think. Tried it last year and found it ok. It has very smart decor and the staff are quite professional, but my wife and I were not blown away by the food as others on this site were.
-
Beachcomber Bistro is located approx 100 metres along the road after margaritas supermarket as if you were heading towards the port. It will also be open this summer during the lunchtime for light lunches as well as in the evenings. The do now have their own webpage which will find located on the corfuselections.com website under aghios stefanos and then beachcomber bistro. I am looking forward to meals there next week as family arriving and its one of their favs in aghios stefanos.

The Beachcomber Bistro is my favourite Place to eat.
It is exactly opposite the Nafsika Hotel, two doors before the Manthos Taverna and next to the Dive Centre which is opposite the Olive Press.
The Waves Taverna is one of the very oldest and is situated on the Beach, accessed by a little road just before the Dive Centre Shop.
Its also exactly as described by Lesley. The Waves is well known for it's freshly caught fish meals!
-
Thanks everyone for all of your help, really looking forward to trying the Beachcomber and many ther restaurants.
-
Everyone will find their own favourite, give a try to the Sunset at the far end of town, great fresh grilled sardines and excellant food.
My favourites are:
Beachcomber Bistro
Mythica & Ossie Oils (jointly)
Little Prince for the sizzling steak
Sunset Taverna
Waves for fish meals
But I also like
Olympia, Manthos Taverna, Zorba's, Paradise Restaurant, for Pizza Town Pizza and Mamma Mia's.

Tony
That just about covers it ;D
-
Elphita is brilliant, Romanza too, Aquarios, Athina Hotel (reasonable), Terezas - BBQ nights - fantastic,
the Golden Beach Hotel - quiet but great food, Olive Press - always used to be great,
Nafsika Hotel - excellent international menu, Summer Dreams (so-so), The 3 w's (???? not sure - never eaten there),
Tasty Corner, Yannis old Restaurant, Yannis Snacks, The Peros Hotel, The Rose Garden, Condor, Kapitanos -
and not to forget the rather nice meals in the Thomas Bay Hotel!!
Have I missed anyone who does meals???
-
What about 2 Stars
-
How could I forget one of my seriously special and favourite Restaurants??? O M G!!!
I love their breakfast and all their food is brilliant!! I go there all the time - Lunch as well!

So how many meals a day do you eat? You go to Beachcombers , Waves, Ozzy Oils but go to 2 Star ALL THE TIME ?
-
My favourites are:
Romanza, try the Kokkinisto and their lunchtime salads
Mythica, try the meatballs, stuffed mushrooms and sofrito,
Little Prince try the sizzling steak and squid, Greek dancing too.
Nafsika, try the sofrito, stamna and mousaka
The Beachcomber serves good food but tends to serve international rather than traditional Greek food
-
Hi Waspman - I think I've only had one ''iffy'' meal in San Stefanos over the years, everywhere has been suitably good!
I have tried most of the above meals - at where you say as well, (over the years), but my first meal at the Mythica will now be the meatballs,
as not tried yet and as recommened by you - so I hope they are good - everything else I tried there has been!!
Have you tried the Mussels there - fantastic!!
I love the Nafsika's Stamna - really good!! - in fact all their food is!
Must make an effort to go to the Romanza as well this year so will also try the Kokkinisto,
The Beachcomber Bistro is different as it should be, after all an International menu,
is a nice change from all the other similar menu's.
We tend to go out and eat a lot of traditional Greek Food here locally, as we love it,
but it's nice to have a change during the holiday and have a special meal, with that Bistro difference.
Another reason why we also love to go to Ozzie Oils, is the different Menu, likewise the Mythica -
- - - - - - - - - - It's great isn't it? So many great restaurants in a small place!!
It's - a case of, when you are there, So many Restaurants - so little time!!
This has made me feel Hungry - so we're off to the local Greek restaurant shortly!
-
Hi Tony
I only wish we had a local Greek restaurant, the nearest is about 35 miles
-
There is around 16 Greek Restaurants in a 5 mile radius of us, one specialises in Meze only!
Many various Restaurants in fact the majority being Indian, a lot of Thai, Chinese, Italian, French - you name it - we have them and that's not counting Pizza places!
Plus - my own bit of Greek cooking - can't beat a good meal!
-
Tony have you ever been to the Greek Vine in Claygate (near Esher) a bit
of a distance from you, but not too far to travel, it has a good reputation
-
Hire a quad bike!
-
Quad bike? You've not met Tony..... A quad would be too big for him 8)
-
Mikee - no - but will try to make the effort one evening - not really too far,
Jimbo - don't need a quad bike here I have my car which is diesel with a 6 speed gearbox - does up to 60mpg, maybe more than the Quad bike!! LOL
Sandra - I think I can handle the occasional Quad!! it's only you I have to worry about!! LOL
-
I mean waspman, not Tony.
From his pictures, which are all I have to go on, Tony looks svelte, trim and handsome.
(Note to self: don't forget to go to Vision Express this week)
-
Jimbo - no need for that eye-check - I am indeed an athlete and am slim extra handsome and any ladies leading man!
(well I was once - does that count??) LOL
-
Tony - I heard that when you walk down the road past the bakery the locals come out and say "Po po po" because they think you are Apollo reincarnated and fight each other to pour a libation of Mythos over your feet.
This could just be a rumour spread by the cruel wonderful Sandra.
-
Funny - I do seem to recall that happening - almost daily in fact!! ;D ;D
-
Yes they did pour Mythos over his feet. They also annointed them with wine. Disinfected them with spirits while chanting the Mantra Poo Poo Poo.............. You should have gone to hearingsavers! :o
-
What did you say, "Sandra"?
-
Wash your neck as well as your ears. You have a tide mark! :-X
-
The new login name will be "Dondra" LOL

I'm replying to this as whoever Tonyco1 is always seems to get in the last word. Is this forum intended to give out information on San Stefanos or personal conversations between members? Being new, I'm looking for information on the resort and am getting increasingly frustrated at reading through irrelevant comments, completely wasting my time. I thought the purpose of the Yammas Bar was for members to go off subject and have personal conversations.
-
Ate at the Beachcomber on Sunday night. Food fantastic as ever, sat outside on the terrace, not a spectacular sunset as a bit overcast. We both had the Pork with pears. The medallions were beautifully cooked and the cooked pears worked really well with it. Prices are a little above most of the village but still v. reasonable for the quality of food and the location. You really must give it a go.
-
Double Dee -
I think you're being a little bit harsh, here. Tony, and many others, provide huge amounts of experience and information garnered over many years.
The forum doesn't just give out information - it's a kind of SS simulator. It's relaxed. It's often funny. I've learned a lot since I joined. Yes - there is "noise", but that's part of the fun. This is a welcome free service and free exchange. I'm looking forward to meeting many people who pop up on here.
Relax. That's what it's all about. If it's not for you, just Google the info you need.
-
Double Dee,
Chill out for goodness sake! This forum is excellent and very informative. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter.
-
People like Tony and Don keep me going through the winter months.
And same as me have lots of people in san stef who no them and the bantter keeps us all interested'
and all the san stef people and visiters enjoy it keep it up Tony and Don.
-
Save DONTON :D :D :-* :-* ;D
-
Double Dee,
Tony has provided me with lots of useful information including a link for some brilliant old photo's of SS which I really enjoyed looking at. He is a genuine guy and a very helpful one too.
I think that you are being very harsh towards him and others who seek to brighten each day, they have certainly cheered me up. What is wrong with a little humour afterall it is an holiday forum, a place to be cheerful and happy whilst waiting for your holiday.
Hopefully you will chill when on holiday. When are you going?
-
Hear Hear
Both Tony and Yannis have been a mine of information. I booked my holiday before I even found this site but it's filled in a few gaps about the Romanza and the restaurants that I'll be enjoying during my visits
-
Gavlah, yes it is a great place to find out things that you need to know before you go.
My first visit to SS was 2008 at Athina Hotel, always said we would never visit a resort more than once but SS changed our opinion on that so we are going again this year staying at Tsaros apartments. When are you going and where are you staying?
-
We go on 20th August to the Romanza. It does seem a weird place in the respect that it's a fairly small resort but that many people return year after year!!
To be honest we love Greece full stop. We had our honeymoon in Skala, Kefalonia 2 years ago and that's a place that we'll deffo return to. From the picture people have painted of San Stef, I think the two will be very similar.
I'm drooling thinking about all that lovely food already :P
-
Snap, we go on the 20th of August too. People do seem to return to SS year after year so it just shows how special it is, I can honestly say that we have never been anywhere else where the locals are so friendly and helpful.
In 2008 we were half board at Athina and we said back then if we ever returned then we would go self catering due to all the wonderful restaurants you can enjoy visiting.
last time we hired a quad bike and went all the way to Roda/Kassioppi then back to SS where we carried on to Pagi and Aghios Georgios, good fun through the olive groves.
This time we are thinking about hiring a boat, can't wait to go.
-
Double Dee,If you don't like the banter given out on this site you could try the Agni site as that does tend to be more serious.I agree with all the other replies to your post and I have enjoyed this forum for the last three years both for the info given and the general light heartedness. Chill out and think of a glass of Mythos.
-
Totally agree to what has been said. Tony has been going to SS for more years than most of can remember and does input a huge amount of info that most people find very useful. My hubby and I are looking forward to meeting Tony and Linda in September to share lots more banter and for good conversation as well. :)
-
Just read this and thanks very much all of you! Appreciated.
DoubleDee - your posting has a familiar edge to it, but I have no axe to grind with you and respect your opinion which you are entitled to have.
But if you want some serious information just ask - it's that easy - that's how this forum works!
- more than one of us will give you the answer you need, and with real pleasure.
As for the forum we make new & great friendships with the banter, however we can take a vote on it - just start one - that's democracy in action.
Not all Forums are designed just for argument!
That's my thought,
Yammas and have a good Summer
Regards
Tony

Apologies, was having a bad day.
I understand from reading previous posts that you are all friends and meet up in SS. I know the banter is light hearted and fun, but I was just getting frustrated reading through all the posts.

Hi Double Dee
Apologies accepted and welcome to the forum.Please ask any questions you like and one of us will do our best to get you the answer.

That's right chill out 8) we have always said that when you visit San Stef you are immediately relaxed whereas some resorts take you a while to settle in. That's exactly the atmosphere we want to achieve on the forum.
We have thought about stopping this forum many times following various hacks and spam attacks however, the friendly nature of the members and the friendships that have been made as a result of it has kept us going. Yes, the continual banter can be a pain but it forges friendships that's why we created the Yammas Bar so long may it continue.

I have to agree with you all. I have only just found this site and it is very informative. There is always someone who will know the answer to your question on here! It has certainly got me in the mood for my 7th holiday in San Stef ( 2 more sleeps)!! The banter on here just shows the type of fun people that keep returning to this lovely friendly village! :)

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments, thanks 2sanstef for your continued support of this website - you are stars!!
also thanks Double Dee for your follow up replies - appreciated and understood!
Now lets keep in that holiday mode, the holiday spirit and start packing for the next holiday! LOL
-
To celebrate my 5000th post can I add that this site is always informative but is so much more than that as it the sum total of all the people who use it. Thanks everyone for the fun and information you give.
-
happy 5000 th don
-
Well done Don on your 5000 postings. I hope to read many many more
-
You will Jules, and you are not so far behind either!!
-
35 days til my Holiday! If I dare to visit surrounding beachies, which do you recommend?
-
I quite like S'Georges Bay myself.
Arillas is now too narrow a strip of sand.
-
S Georges beach is lovely and so different from SS.
The beach is quite pebbly and the sea drops very sharply. There is no gradual long shallow walk in like at SS.
It is also sooooo much colder you would not believe!!! There are also more water sports if you are into them and lots more Germans than in San Stefanos.
If you do go there visit Maria Snack Shack for lunch. Its on the beach road. She does the most amazing rolls and other snacks too.
