Well - not for the first couple days! Initially we couldn't help comparing it to Elounda - there was no pretty harbour & we were disappointed with our first meal. The food was served differently than we'd had in Elounda & was not what we were expecting (although we wouldn't say it was bad).
I'm not sure what happened then - maybe it was the welcome we got at the juice bar from Shane & Sandra - maybe it was the people we met at the Kamini bar - maybe it was Nikos in the Athens bar -or maybe it was that the next couple of meals were excellent & lived up to our expectations - but we found ourselves enjoying it . After a week (we were there for 2 weeks) we were thinking we might consider going back next year & a few days later we were looking at possible places to stay. The day before we left we had decided we would definitely be going back to stay at Little Prince apartments.
One lady said it was her 17th time in San Stefanos & she believed that when people got there they all became nice people. Maybe that sums it up.

Mike - I think I was a bit like that - not exactly NOT liking it but comparing it for the first couple of days and then it just sort of seeps into your soul............... Oh dera - am going back for my 6th time soon - me, who believes the world is too big to keep returning to the same place! Now what happens? I compare everywhere to Agios Stefanos - and it keeps winning! I try to limit myself to every two years - but it's an effort :P

i thoughts that, and after our 10 year here, wouldnt go anywhere else.Its a magical feeling as soon as you get into the resort and we feel like it is our second home.
-
And we have been going since 1983, it has a certain charm and magic.

You all told me I would fall in love with it and and we both did.
Went last year for the first time to Tereza's and booked again almost as soon
as we got home.
-
It definitely creeps up on you and takes you unawares and before you know it you have booked again and again......12th year for us this year and next year already booked as well. :)
-
Welcome to the club!
-
We also thought we would never go to the same place twice as there are so many lovely places but this will be our third time in a row to San Stefanos although we do go to other places. fell in love with it first time. Staying at Terezas this year for the first time end August beginning September for two weeks. Have been to their bbq before but not stayed with them before as usually gone independent but got a really good price with Thomson's and last year when we were in San Stefanos there was the taxi strike so was a bit worried about getting back. Cant wait!!
-
We'll be there the same time as you. We go on 31st August.
-
And me :)
-
And we'll be wishing we were there again by then, but our next one is Dalyan in October.

Went ahead yesterday & booked Little Prince for 2 weeks commencing 7 June 2013. Have been watching the price on Thomson website. It had risen from £495 when I checked on 20 June to £616 when I checked again at beginning of July. Yesterday the price dropped to £535 each & showed only 2 studios left. That must have been true because today there is only 1 left & the price has gone up.
-
And me, we get there 24th August ;D

Denise/Jules/Soulie - Noticed you will be there at the same time as us we get there on the 24th August for two weeks are you all staying at Teresa's also?

Hi Deelighful44,
We have just retuned today from Athina Hotel, and I agree with you, the staff, Olga, Yannis, George and all the other staff were amazing, and the food was beautiful. Oh and the sunsets, they will stay with me forever. I can honestly say this was the BEST holiday we have had. Wish we were still there.
Regards Paula :)
