San Stefanos news and views / Re: Top Tips for San Stef Newbies
« on: May 16, 2012, 11:26:18 PM »
Top tip for newbies........... if you are walking along the beach towards the cliffs, and the thought of the nudie zone is too much and you need a drink to cool down, turn right up the steep zig zag clay path, it looks daunting, but its not as bad as it appears, at the top sits the Romanza, fab bar and a view of the coast that cant be beaten. From there you can meander down to the town by road with many tavernas on the way!

Top tip for newbies, ......early doors have an hour or two sitting out at the Tasty Corner, ice cold drink,  watching people come and go along the main thoroughfare, its probably the busiest part of San Stef, and a great barometer of the town and its patrons, good spot pre dinner but more entertaining late on when people have had a drink or two!

As the season gets underway I thought it may be fun to have a few 'Top tips' or recommendations for first timers to consider?

Some tips will no doubt be informative and serious but I hope regulars may have many light hearted and quirky snippits of advice based on their years of experience.

 Perhaps we may also have a ' whatever you do... don't....... advice also?

I will set the ball rolling with a post or two, hope we can all join in.

Wonder how much they will be this year, anyone recall last years price ? Usually just rough it on little portables but I'm getting on a bit and may join the jet set!

I remember that dog, he seemed to frequent the area around mythica, pizza place and up to Ozzie Oil and 3Ws, seemed tame and friendly with  people who took  any interest in him, big strong looking thing from what I recall. Sad story but seems as though he had a decent spot there at San Stef.

Thought it may be worth an update as we approach the latter stages of the poll, things are really hotting up for silver and bronze but it seems unlikely that Olympia will lose top spot, but still a few regulars who have yet to cast a vote, so you never know.

Over half of all voters have Olympia in their top three, I must confess it has not been on our radar but we will certainly be popping along this year.

Hope the table is of use to both regulars and newbies alike, I am sure all who have voted would join me in reassuring those still to make their minds up about visiting San Stef that the restaurants outside the top placings are still some of the finest eateries you will find on your travels.

Anyhoo....latest positions    ..................... Gold medal spot ................Olympia...............39 points
                                                            Silver medal spot............... Little Prince.........22 points
                                                            Bronze medal spot..............Mythica...............21 1/2 points
                                                            4th..................................Nafsica................21 points
                                                            5th..................................Ozzie Olis.............17 1/2 points
                                                            Joint 6th...........................Beachcomber........14 points
                                                            Joint 6th...........................Zorbas.................14 points

Would hope we can still get a few more top three's in, and I would hope we could all be satisfied this poll is a reasonable sample group and a fair reflection of what San Stef has to offer.

Hi Lesley.... is it not worth mentioning the extraordinary high numbers of repeat visitors to san stefanos??
We have never, in 30 years of travel, encountered a place where there are as many return visitors and some of them been coming back for decades!!! Surely that is a story worth covering in itself especially some of the second generation repeaters??
I'm sure we've read somewhere that some places have 70% returns - our favourite Romanza falls into this category I'm sure.

Your favourite is still holding on Rod, but, as they say, it is beginning to look like a game of two halves! Still time for a late run as we head towards puds and coffee!

Made me laugh that Waspman great effort and somewhat more complicated than my effort! In my minds eye nothing needs to make sense in this play on words, you've actually created a full sentence with your five holiday references, too difficult for me! To make it easier, a threesome ( Hence the title !) of San Stef issues, can be combined to make a made up word .

We enjoy a drink at the JUice bar, a cocktail at BAR 38, followed by a meal at Ozzie OILS, my new San Stef word is JUBAROILS !

It makes no sense whatsoever, but if your childish, like me, it may make you laugh. In the process it also namedrops various san stef places for newbies also.

We often have a meals at ZORbas and YIANnis, both do good moussAKA,my new SS word is ZORYIANAKA !

OK that's not as funny,..... so somebody please come up with a belter to get this thread going!

Steady on Gav!   :o

May need to explain myself a bit more here!  Just thinking it may be fun to combine three of ones favourite San Stef memories IE places, things, views, meals, venues, experiences,etc  into one combined new San Stef word, hence my ROMOONICA! I do hope others will now have a go and a laugh, at the moment with the play on words in the title I look a little lonesome and a little  bit weird me thinks!!

Some great posts here folks but I think we need a few more top three's for the final totals to have real integrity, perhaps the mid point totals derailed the focus a little? Could I ask regulars who have not posted their top trio to consider doing so, the higher the sample group, the greater validation to the medal positions, cheers .

Wow a flurry of reviews which will be so usefull to guests and newbies. An interim update which may suprise regulars as its a wee bit different from the last spoilt for choice?

Lets call this point the 'rest between starters and mains' in the poll, as I hope many more reviews are yet to land , the top 5 to date
 ( 1st choice = 3 points 2nd = 2  3rd = 1)

                                           Gold medal spot .........30 points............Olympia   ( guess they had a great 2011 season ?)
                                           Silver medal spot.........13 1/2 points......Mythica   ( still popular but way behind top spot )
                                           Bronze medal spot........12 points...........Nafsika    ( pushing for runner up spot this year ?)

                                           In the running for medals    Ozzie Oils       9 1/2               
                                                                                Zorbas           9
                                                                                Beachcomber  8
As I say, it can all change, so keep voting gang,  Cheers

Cant believe it was back in 2010 when the top three restaurant poll ran for a while, its never too early to talk about food, so, based on recent experiences, what would be your top 3 restaurant recommendations for newbies this season.

Our family consensus     1)  Mythica   ( puddings won in the tie break family argument! )
                                 2)  Ozzie Oils,  best relaxed ambiance and all round standards.
                                 3)  Little Prince, always fab food and entertainment to boot.

 So many brilliant places to discuss and recommend, but, there are only 3 places on the podium!
