Hi everyone!Back again after a bit of a sabbatical but have always been watching out for all the news and updates of our favourite holiday destination!
After a year of no holiday and after just coming back from 2 weeks in Parga this year,my wife and I have confessed that ,even though we had a thoroughly enjoyable time this year,the attraction of San Stefanos is pulling us back for next for next already!!..and being on a downer after a holiday has just finished you just have to start planning for the next one to have something to look forward to!!
2 questions..as next year will be the first year of the two of us on our own as Natalie feels she will be too old to go away with us!..we are looking at the Anatoli Apts just above the Kamini bar for a studio/apt for two.Can anyone give us some feedback on them?
Secondly,as 2 of our previous 4 years to San Stef were done independently,can you give me an idea what the cost of flights were with Easyjet etc this year for flights in July and August if they were booked as soon as they came out.We will be flying from Manchester or Liverpool.
Hope we get some feedback as I really want to get back into looking forward mode as quickly as possible and have this site for my daily holiday feel fix!! ;D ;D
-
Don't know about prices but look at Jet2 as well - we are flying with them next June and I will be looking for them for our August flights too in a month or so.

Hi
I booked through Monarch this year in April and we are going in 2 weeks time (5 Aug) - I paid £245 each from Gatwick to Corfu and my parents paid £280 with Thomsons from East midlands to Corfu.
We are staying at Vagelis' four bed house and its costing €120 a day for the 2 weeks which is €1680 but between 8 of us is actually pretty good.
Its a lot cheaper going independently for us ;D
-
Carl don't forget Ryan Air also fly from Manchester to Corfu
-
We stayed at the Anatoli last year - only the upstairs apartments have air conditioning. They were fine - cleaned 3 times/week - tiny but fab views, great location and a really relaxed family running them
-
Looking like we are going to book a top floor apartment for 11 days for me and Vanessa from 18-29th August..Hooray something to look forward to again!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Will just miss you we have an upstairs apartment booked from the 4th-18th August next year
-
Thought 11 days would be enough but the lure of 2 full weeks of San Stef after a years hard work was too much so Anatoli from 15th to 29th Aug 2014 it is!!!!!!!SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO ;D ;D ;D
-
Anatoli are good - almost booked them myself this year
-
We arrive 29th August next year Carl so will just miss you. You know you won't regret those extra few days though.
-
We will meet up for that drink Jules one day Jules!!!!..just have to keep in touch through the ether by this forum and Facebook in the meantime!! x ;)
-
Sure it will work out one year Carl!!! :)

cant find Ryanair from Manchester yet but this year 4 flights with easyjet from Manchester were 918 including bags , excellent flights no delays and coming home was 30 mins early . that was july 20th to august 3rd . party of 27 across various flights , times , duration , apartments , hotels etc . all had good flight experiences this time round . may have seen the Hawaii night on july 24th at Olympia then thru the village later .. that was us !! great fun night
-
Just booked to stay at Stamatis apartments next July! Booked through Thomsons as usual. Looks like we got the last room!! :) (According to Thomsons!)
-
Truth and Thomson are not always the same thing.
-
You're so right Jimbo!
-
Been back a week and have just booked for July 25th 2014, two weeks at the Romanza. Didnt think we would be booking through Thomsons next year as have been watching several dates since release during the school holidays for 2014 and they were all what I considered too high compared to previous years. However in the last few weeks the total price for the four of us has steadily reduced. When a departure from East Mids came up £650 cheaper for the four of us than it was a month ago it was time to take the plunge!
Will still be watching my shortlisted holidays though in the hope I did buy at the right time!
-
Booked at the Romanza for two weeks, July 14th - July 28th 2014 from Newcastle with Thomsons. Price started at £611 and three weeks later we booked at £487. Brilliant flight times too.
-
I think these hard times we are having are really starting to come home to roost.
I bet Thomson have seen very little uptake and have had to drop prices to get people to book.
Be interesting if they go back up again
-
WoooooooHooooooo I will be going to SS in 2014 and will be accompanied by my friend from Texas, watch out here come the Girls!! Now to book some luxury accommodation :)
-
Prices have gone up again slightly with Thomsons but still lower than when they first came out. :)
-
So pleased for you Bee :)
-
Woop woop - me too!! ;D
Vagelis confirmed this morning that we have the Helena Villa (behind Nafsika) booked for 2 weeks from 18 Aug - 1st Sept.
Will book flights early next year!!
So glad to have it to look forward again for next year! ;D
-
We arrive 29th August next year
I guess I'm doomed never to meet you Jules as I don't holiday in August :(
-
We always go end of August Bee but may try and get a cheeky week in before :) ;)
-
Excellent news Bee - see you next summer 8)
-
We booked today with thomsons! Much cheaper for us than going independently! About same price as last year just slightly up!! But got car parking cheaper so swings and roundabouts!! Staying at Tereza again but later this year - mid August husband shut down weeks put back! £615 each 2 weeks day time flights!! We think its a bargain! Could have got other hotels/apartments cheaper but loved the Tereza!!
-
Going to go all independent next year as I prefer Easyjet to Thomson (much cheaper extra leg room seats) and I prefer staying at either the Kapetanios or Fedra Mare.
In July we went with Thomson to the Teresa but buy the time we paid extra leg room it wasn't cheap at all, plus we always get a hire car from the Airport so the free transfer went to waste.
I also prefer handing my crisp Euro's to the locals instead of it ending up swelling the coffers of the Germans!

well said Andy! We book extra leg room and Thomson 2014 price for that per couple to Corfu is £130! incredible

I'm so short I don't need extra legroom! Thank goodness, one less thing to pay for :P

All booked in to Spiridoula Studio Villa, I am so looking forward to this holiday. Next stop flights and Monarch are offering £25.00 off for flights after October 2013. To be booked by September 13th :)
-
When you going Bee?
-
ALL DONE! Accommodation at Spiridoula Studio Villa confirmed and deposit paid. Monarch flights booked and paid for! Insurance bought! Now to start saving for my spending money :)
Silverstar, my friend and I will be there from 23/6/14 to 7/7/14, I am so looking forward to it :)
-
All done,booked Little Prince again ;D.June 13th for one week.Have fallen in love with San Stef,is there a cure please.
-
No known cure available Winkie!!!!! :)
-
I can confirm that - - I said the same as you 30 years ago . . .
-
I cant believe that from booking our holiday for next year to Terezas 2 weeks ago the price for the same holiday has gone up by £149 each!!!
-
Doesn't surprise me Jacksi. The prices were dropped after I booked ours by about £100.00 each >:(
-
You booked at the right time Jacksi, I had been price watching for months and they were at their lowest just over two weeks ago, or at least they were for the Romanza. Since then they have risen and our flight is now sold out.
-
Check the prices again boxing day sale....
-
just booked Jet 2 from Manchester 25th August returning 8th September for £225 each return - very happy with that!
-
That's good!
I'm looking for flights on 18th Aug coming back 1st Sept.
Thomas Cook were £398 a few weeks back, then they dropped down to £268 and now back up to £340.....!
I didnt book until April for this year and got them for £245 each with Monarch so think I will wait until the new year and see what is available :)
-
Tempted to book our Easyjet return flights today for next Sept..can anyone tell me if I might get them cheaper in the New Year as I hear they sometimes have a sale on?..Currently £256 for 2 adults with bags and seats for Sept 19th

I'd be tempted to book at that price. No guarantee that the prices won't drop of course but as long as you are happy with the price you pay. Prices could also rise from this point aswell.
-
We booked our outgoing flights for next September back in October as soon as the flights came on the Easyjet website believing that you have to get in early to get the cheapest fares. On checking today I find that the price is virtually the same as it was on the day we booked although it fluctuated up and down,mostly up,for the first few days when the flights first became available,so I'm not rushing to book the return flights yet,who knows they may have a sale after Christmas.
