San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Glad I changed my booking from TUI to Jet2 for august flying from Edinburgh as so far so good for 5th august 🤞🤞

Greek PLF landed in my emails today for Monday flight, Facebook group reporting it comes back immediately now so no more anxious waiting for 10pm the night before!

I think the fate of regional hubs is very much in the balance, unfortunately. I would rank Edinburgh as far higher in the importance stakes than Newcastle or Leeds. As a capital city, it's hardly even regional! Mind you, closing a base does not mean the extinction of service: just no planes and crews sited there. It takes 20 minutes to fly a plane in from Glasgow to provide a flight.

I am here  just now and it is a tad warm,41 degrees yesterday but you've got to be sensible. People are still pegged out on the beach in the full sun,if it was inflicted on them as a form of torture they'd be begging for mercy.
Good news is it's going to drop down to about 33 for the rest of the week.

Have a great time and give our love to all in SS. Still working out a way to get there this year 😎

I will give you all a wave at about 8pm (Greek time).  Yes, my wife and I are here.  We arrived yesterday.  The village is eerily quiet but still wonderful.

The photos showing on Social Media were taken at 08.30 in the rain - in fairness even high season not much is open at 08.30 - so roll on a few hours, the sun came through and the place looks lovely again.  There is plenty open for those still coming out for the last 2 weeks of the season - do remember people live here all year round and don't go hungry or thirsty - of course not the same amount of places as 'high season' however again there is not the volume of visitors to warrant this - same for any seaside place really (thinks Southend, Clacton and other UK beaches)...... This is a great time to explore further than the high road - a walk towards the port will take you to Olympia, Zest for Life, Yasameni Cafe, Manthos or turn left and head up to Arillas , passed Town Pizza & Barola our first stop Nikolettas coffee shop before going down into Arillas beach area - a variety open there.  We went to Arillas Recycling Centre yesterday and popped into a friends hotel for a frappe in Arillas, back over then to Agios Stefanos for a wine at El Greco, Barras had visitors around the pool and their restaurant also open as was the Bakery, the Station Market, Express, Condor and Vasia's shop. As we drove home Yiannis kebabs was pretty busy.  Barola and Barras close this Thursday.  I didn't go to the beach but saw Havana's is still open and as today the sun is shining again and a mild 23c sure there will be a few more strollng along the sand.  Margarita's suites along with Teresa's, Romanza, Thanasis and a few other private apartments still have guests in resort.......... so whilst there are guests there will be a selection of eating and drinking establishments staying open.....

Isn't Scottygirl there now? Is she actually from Scotland?

Not long for you now, Scottygirl, have a lovely time!
