San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Darren was still doing Sundays at 3W last year. Margarita will have his number.

Theodosia apartments would also be great for you Bee. I book them through Noula and have stayed there for the last few years, usually alone. They are just between the paper shop and Olympia so are good for both the old village and "the strip".

Obviously we can all only speak as we find, but I have to say that my partner and I (with and without different combinations of children and friends) have been to Ag Stef every year for the past 14 years..... apart from one disastrous year. I recklessly decided that we needed to branch out and be brave and see more of Greece. I spent ages researching resorts and after a great deal of time I chose Mastihari. BIGGEST HOLIDAY MISTAKE EVER, for us at any rate. I was there for a month and even by the end I still did not feel relaxed or any warmth for the place at all. I was back in Ag Stef in the October half term!
I did not really like the village, the beach(huge amounts of seaweed that was never cleared), the restaurants (which all had touts outside so that you could not even look at a menu without being pressured to go in) and I felt that the tradespeople there were much more pushy in general.
I had travelled with Black Cat and whilst I found Kevin in the UK to be very well organised and pleasant to deal with, the woman who was the rep operated out of her own restaurant on the beachfront was extremely cool and somewhat unhelpful.
I felt that when I was asking for a little information or assistance that I was being a nuisance. This was the case even when we were actually eating at her place. I spent the last two weeks of the holiday alone (as I often do in Ag Stef) but did not really enjoy the experience.
Other people may well have different views but I hope this is helpful.

Hiya Pally,
You will undoubtedly love the village.

The beach is very very long and is wonderfully sandy. There are always lots of sun beds. The usual rate is something like 8 euros per day for two beds and an umbrella that is then yours for the day.

There are lots of wonderful places to eat. Just browse the forum to get some ideas.
There many traditional greek taverna type places and this year there is apparently even a Chinese. Everywhere you choose to eat will be good! There are specials in most places for about 8 -9 Euros.

There is one ATM outside of the Thomas Bay Hotel (in the centre of the village) but it is not to be depended upon. It can run out of funds. (Although I have never had a prob with it)

If you have any specific questions just post them here and someone will answer!
it's a special place and the people who go there are generally great.

Really can't envisage eating Chinese in SS! Too many wonderful places to eat Greek food. But each to their own. 

According to Noula, Theodosia will have wii fi this year too. I tried to use Thanasis from Tsaros last year but the signal was just not strong enough. Fingers crossed for this year.

Anything that helps to keep the village alive is a good idea in my opinion. I probably wont use it because I do love the greek food wherever I eat there, but as you say Sarah it gives people another option and it's always sad to see an empty building. Do we have any idea about who is actually going to run it ?

That's areally good idea to keep score!
I have only tried the Sunset once and can honestly say that it was one of the least good meals I have ever had in San Stef. Maybe I need to give it another go. Anyone can have an off night. It was very very quiet and the food was mediocre and unfortunately cold (even for Greek standards!)
