Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: Evening Meal Review
« on: July 07, 2009, 07:39:13 PM »
In San Steph at the moment and went to the Mythica on Saturday night after hearing glowing reports.

However, both of us were disappointed with our meals. I also had the chicken stroganoff - but it was totally tasteless. The chicken was very tough and bland, but luckily a very pregnant cat sat nearby so ended up very well fed!!

Also the restaurant (can't call it a Tarverna), had no atmosphere. Very morose music, everyone talking very quietly, it was a bit like eating in a Library!!

On the plus side - a very extensive menu and very reasonably priced. The bread basket is lovely with hot crusty rolls and different spreads.

We maybe picked an 'off' night, but our neighbours in our apartments said their meal had also been very disappointing when they went.

I suppose everything boils down to personal choice and it would be a sad world if we all liked the same thing, but when in Greece I want to feel like I am there - lively greek music, friendly waiters etc.  I can have a meal in England anytime like the one I had in the Mythica - sorry!!

San Stefanos news and views / Re: Big Yellow hotel
« on: October 16, 2008, 04:09:18 PM »
We had a walk up to the hotel when we were there in September. It was creepy enough in the sunshine and there is no way that I would go in the dark!!

It's all very sad really. The bedrooms are all fully furnished - beds made, pictures on walls, tvs, etc - which makes it all the more eerie. If the rooms had been empty it may have felt less spooky.

The grounds are very overgrown and the hotel has been broken into so you can go inside (we didn't dare!). There are a few bits of furniture lying outside and a couple of TV's broken up.

It could be a lovely place but the money needed to 'fix' it would be enourmous. The building is now starting to decay and over time it is going to become more of a wreck, and with it being the largest building in SS, will become a blot on the beautiful landscape.
