San Stefanos news and views / Re: Beer we go again! Alfa, Fix or Mythos?

Good selection of replies so far.

My own preference is -

1 Fix
2 Alfa
 
........and Mythos is now unplaced as it is certainly not the same beer as it was 10-15 years ago in my humble opinion.

When I first visited Corfu I have to admit it was always a Mythos after a scorcher on the beach and that lasted a number of years.

But recently I have detected that particular beer has gone downhill and I now prefer Fix or Alfa.

Anybody else have the same opinion or am I on my own in the drinking stakes?

Once again we enjoyed a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable break at our favourite destination.

It really is hard to beat SS as the long beach, great weather (in the main) along with superb food and drink make the place something special.

Sometimes it is hard to figure why it is not busier than usual in August (but I am not moaning, that's for certain, as the balance is about right).

Made couple of usual trips to Panorama Resturant at Logas Beach at Peroulades as the mussels in white wine sauce are very good. Must admit on second occasion  was a bit disappointed but they were very busy so perhaps it was forgivable.

Anybody who has not visited Afionas should put the place on the must-do list next time as it's a memorable village to visit and the meals at Porto Timoni were very good and the view breathtaking. Ok the wasps are a bit of a pain but the breathtaking panoramic views easily make up for that.

It seems choice is being eroded with Thomas Cook walking away leaving a virtual three-way tie between Tui, Jet2 or booking independently.

Jet2 (for better or worse?) appears to be building up a large portfolio of apartments in the village, and the owners of the properties must be happy with the situation as they have seemingly signed up for another summer, at least.

Personally, I would not fancy October too much but that is just my choice and it obviously suits others.

Flights booked as well and can't wait!

Sometimes get leg pulled about going back year after year and, I must admit, I did have little self doubts in my own mind about this summer again.

But as soon as you are there all the niggles disappear as there is definitely something about the place that is magic

Sun, sand, sea along with good food and wine might have something to do with it

Yeah, the Hippopots people started fairly regular updates last spring/summer but then stopped - a bit surprising, as it was probably good PR for their business.

Anyway last summer the likes of Ozzy Oils and the old Two Stars site (which had been the nattily named Captain Octopus for one season) were both empty.

Also just standing there was the old Mythica (opposite Yiannis restaurant) and that has not been used for a good six or seven years now.

Perhaps someone has some inside knowledge what might be happening with any of the above.

When I first visited this site shortly after my first holiday in San Stefanos many years ago, it seemed to be thriving and full of vibrant opinions.
But of late it has become hardly used for days at a time which really is a great shame.
So the time has come to breathe some new life into the place.
I am not normally a regular on these types of sites but am going to make this one the exception to the rule through the winter months and into the spring and summer!
