I just cannot get the memories out of my head,such a wonderful holiday in San Stefanos.We visited many restuarants when there,and watched the dancers every night.We found that they are very samey,but such a delight,our favourites were Zorba,s and Little Prince.These folks, add to the great atmosphere in their already busy places.Which is your top spot for the dancing ?.Looked on u-tube and found one dance we had not come across,the Chain Dance,in the Prince,wish I could have been there.

Look on Youtube for The Romanza Hotel, Andreas dancing, he's the highest kicker you will ever see

The best. He also serves great cocktails. He is also a great guy.

We both tried to visit the Romanza one night,but found the hill too much for us two old folks.We got about half way there,and ran out of steam lol.Amazing scenery on the way,which was a bonus.Someone could earn a bob or two, with a small taxi type service,a tuk tuk springs to mind lol.

Hire a quad bike next time Winkie, great for getting up the hill!
-
I am certainly not in the first flush of youth, but the steady climb up the hill is worth it. Just take it steady!
-
We will go up the hill most definitely
-
Quad bike is definitely worth hiring. Failing that there are a few watering holes along the way 8)

Would I need my licence to hire a quad or scooter ?.

Much apppreciate your reply Mr Waspman,thank-you.

For Greek dancing, Zorba's wins hands down, as the guys really seem to enjoy what they are doing.
I know the customers certainly do!

Until you've seen The Romanza Greek dancing, it's difficult to draw a comparison, unlike Zorbas at The Romanza all the guests (at times) take part as well.

I think I can do without Sirtaki Karaoke!

Ooh no, I wouldn't want to!

Just a thought, how steep is the hill? I might eventually make the effort but might nee d a rest half way or wherever halfway is? In Kassiopi a few years ago we had a hill to get up from the beach and the town to the apartments we called it the HOD - Hill of Death - and no watering holes to be seen. I fancy taking my other half to the Romanza but I could be outvoted as my vote doesn't always count.
-
It is steep but maybe you could assess it when you are there
-
It starts off gentle and then gets tougher and tougher.
Bit like women, really.
-
I suppose going up at least means after you've wined and dined its all downhill and that's a bonus.

You are all worrying me I am staying at the Romanza at the end of August for 2 weeks

Hi Julied
Do not worry about the hill.It is not as bad as people are making out.I am no spring chicken.I have climbed that hill for the last 15 years and never found it a problem.In my opinion by far the steepest part is from the village to Teresas.If you are familiar with the area the route from Teresas to the Romanza consists of a steady incline around 3 sharp bends each section of a similar distance.To give you some idea of distance the secton from Teresas to the next hotel the Kapetonias is a third of the distance to the top of the hill.You are then left with a flat section of similar length before the Romanza on the next bend.

I though1 I was going to have to join the gym. Although I have been before I have never stayed at the Romanza
thanks for your reply

Back to the thread.
Greek dancing.
I have the following obsevations to make on this.
(1) Unless you have seen all the dancers it is impossible to name the best.
(2)The same applies to the Greek nights & their format.
(3)If you come into the category of someone who has seen all the village has to offer in these fields.You are then entitled to your opinion.
This is where the problem starts.Everyone has their own opinion on what constitutes the best.This leads to lots of personal opinions many of which will be different.It is a persons divine right to hold this opinion & no one has the right to say they are wrong.This does not just apply to dancing but to hotels & tavernas and anything else where an opinion is expressed.
With this in mind I will give you my personal opinion.
I believe that Andreas at the Romanza is the best dancer & also that the Romanza holds the best Greek night.
I personnaly prefer the Romanza format of live music & dancing by the family.The audience is made up of hotel guests and a lot of locals that add to the atmosphere with their impromptu acts of music ,singing and dancing.As for the audience participation part in the dancing I believe it adds to the atmosphere to make an excellent evening.
You all know I am extremely biased where the Romanza is concerned, so do not take my word for it .Come along & then you will aso be entitled to your personal opinion.

Hi Julied
I agree with Yiannis, as long as you take it easy it`s not a problem, we are there July 15th for our 9th time and although we now use a quad bike, we still walk it now and again. If you do find it a bit much i would advise you not to use the beach path, that is a killer.

Is that short cut still there through those apartments next to the Romanza? We used to nip through there then through Teresas

Sometimes the gate is open, sometimes it's padlocked
