Title: Pelli and Maria Apartments
Post by: Georgia on July 15, 2014, 12:12:51 AM
This is only our second visit to San Stef, and last time we stayed at Vicky Apartments with Thomas Cook. However we picked up a leaflet at Pelli & Maria's Shop for their apartments and decided to go independently next time. I must say, these are wonderful apartments, clean, well set out and decorated, and the maid service is excellent, and we will definitely come back to San Stef - of course! - and next time we will have no hesitation in going back to Pelli & Maria's Apartments. Wonderful value, great location.

Ah, sorry - didn't know it was Top Secret!  :)

We were in the top floor of the villa at the very top of the path, wonderful views and falling asleep to the sound of the surf at night. I think this must have been the best apartment I've ever stayed in, in all my years of visiting Greece.

If any of you forum members go into the paper shop and Maria is there, ask her "do you sell banana liqueur"

She will know who you've been talking to!  She has a great sense of humour.

We were in there browsing and a couple came in and asked that question! We didn't get the joke as Maria and them started laughing. I bought two lovely dresses from her. It's a very nice shop.

Many years ago, maybe 10 years, I asked the question "do you sell banana liqueur" thinking that she might, she said she didn't.

Every year since then on my first visit to the shop I have always asked the same question, usually before she sees me, of course she knows who it is straight away.

If anyone else comes into the shop and asks that question she says "I know who you have been talking to"

About 3 years ago a brought over a miniature bottle of banana liqueur for her. She now calls me "the banana man"

As you say it is a lovely shop and we use it every day.

My watch battery died, so I went to Maria's for the solution. Excellent watch with a stretchy plastic strap for 7.5 Euros.
The next day, Gillie's watch strap broke. Went back to Maria's and bought another one.

Maria and Peli are lovely.

Hint for smokers: Maria will order whatever you want. You need to do this by Wednesday, as she gets the deliveries on Thursday. If you are going on a Friday flight, email her in advance and order the fags, otherwise you'll have to wait a week.
