Great effort. However we need more contributions. Please help. I am guilty as I only look in when I'm about to go on holiday. My wife and I are hopefully going in September to our beautiful place and I promise to all that I will report back my findings. Does that sound a little too much regimental?
-
Please report back your findings Rod, I find it very interesting to know how things and our friends, are out there, at the moment :)
-
Would appreciate any daily updates Rod, where you staying sir ?.

Fedra eh, stunning chilled place, with fabulous owners, and little Eirini. Lucky devil you, you will be spoiled for sure.

Heading towards the harbour, just past Fantasea turn left, 50 yards up on left.

They are lovely apartments. They even have upstairs to your bedroom and bathroom. Two balconys overlooking a lovely pool. And as you say Radarman they are lovely owners with a chilled atmosphere. Dimitri loves to show off his wine collection and both the wife and I love good wine ........ hic!

This has always been a very contentious issue on forums and one well worth a mention. I’m not too sure if with this common mode of forum (SMF, which is common) it is just a case they are registered users simply ticking the box in their profile to say they do not want to be seen (named) as on-line and they show up as “guests”?
But getting back to the post, unfortunately I’m not too sure if the likes of myself are not to blame for the lack of participation to some extent. It’s the old adage of “once behind that keyboard”, along of course with a few bevvies and the often late hour :-[ . But I also think a lot just can’t be bothered to join in and just want to know what’s going on – they are still supporting it by using it, even if it would be better to have an upfront and seen to be active forum. Hopefully those running the forum see it as being used as I’m sure everyone on here gets something out of it and would not like to lose it?

All we need is damn good argument! Someone just needs to post a contentious subject and everyone will be flying in. The more obtrusive the better. It's great. Hi Jimbo!

You could be right. It's the same few of us who post. I find it's a very useful forum, especially for newcomers to San Stef. I like to do little updates when I'm out there and have had pm's to thank me, so it's worth it. I have been approached by people out there, who have recognised me. I remember seeing Jimbo at Nafsika pool a few years ago and recognised him from a couple of San Stef videos, so I just asked if it was him, it's great to meet people you have chatted to on here :)
-
Haha! No we do don't want arguments on here. Jimbo is very sweet and interesting in real life, as is the lovely Gillie :)

Yes I have also spent an hour with Jimbo and his lovely wife in The Aquarius Bar I think. Great banter but I could hardly see for the smoke. ;)
-
Emerging from the smoke... it used to be the case that property or taverna owners were not allowed to join, to avoid self-promotion. I don't know if that's still true.
Dear Karen - thank you for saying that I'm sweet! I'm sure that Gillie will be along to confirm that soon. When I tell you that if she doesn't I may not buy any more chocolate digestives you will realise what a complete bastard I am. :-X

Haha! John and I always look forward to seeing you both each year and sad that we won't see you this year. :(

Never met the Jimbo, hopefully some day our paths will cross in the village. We could discuss the smoking ban in restaurants and bars, that subject on here, went on for miles lol.

Jimbo does not have it in him these days, he's a jaded bottomless pit (A/H) ... Okay, ok I hit the glass a while back, and really I love (read tolerate) him really.... But I do miss the Tory Maggie and her mundane repost ... and Charlie/Trevour !
-
I am not a bottomless pit, I'll have you know. I've been told I have a nice bottom. So there!

ooo you are so nice! And of course "in the best possible taste"!!!
-
Isn't all this way off topic??
-
Way off topic!! However I'm going to be just as off topic as I need to agree to the sweetness of Jim in all ways 'cos I definitely need my chocolate digestive supply! Hope to see the two of you next year Karen - it's 17 degrees here and cloudy, sadly. I'm glad people are still keeping this forum going. I don't contribute much but enjoy keeping up to date with everything. So keep it coming, it would be boring if we all agreed on everything, and we certainly don't :o- apart, of course from our universal love of Aghios Stephanos - which is why we're all here in the first place. :D
-
Hello dear Gillie! Yes these forums always go off topic, but it keeps the site going hopefully and keeps us in touch with our friends.
I too am a lover of chocolate digestives, but I have to buy my own!
-
Dark chocolate caramel digestives were to die for but they seemed to have stopped making them >:((Not fussed about the milk chocolate caramel ones!!)

I am a frequent contributor in the Yammas Bar but not much elsewhere these days, though keeping up with the news from San Stef helps keep my spirits up. We last visited in 2017 and stayed at the Margarita apartments for 3 weeks. We had a wonderful time. We are booked to come back next year but the prospects are not looking too shiny at the moment. You may well have seen that we in NZ are back in lock down, due to slack border management. Our major concern is the availability, and cost, of long-haul flights to get us back to our favourite place in Greece.
Fingers crossed we will be back at the end of May next year. In the interim i will continue to enjoy your varied ramblings.
Chris

Let's hope next year is better Chris :)

Big welcome to MervTheSwerve :)
Are you a regular in San Stef? :)

Can someone explain why occasionally on the users online it shows that someone is hidden. Is it the admin?

Haven't noticed that Charlie. Mine just shows guests, non members and named members :)
-
Mine shows as hidden now. You amend your profile>>account>>un-tick show when on-line. I assumed the other day these were shown as "guests". I doubt if it really hides you!

Aah good point. So when I saw 70 guests on line, they were maybe hidden profiles ;D

I think some people are a bit nervous posting as there are some not very nice people about in the social media sphere.
This forum however is no such pace,we are all friends here,share one special interest and are respectful of each other’s opinions.

Well said Maggie! :)

Haha! It is quiet Winkie. Was hoping we would get some more updates :)
-
Perhaps the video Hobbes kindly told us about has went awry and made people too sad to post :-\ [size=78%].[/size][/size] Or it could be the awful weather here with the arrival of winter! I’m hoping there is still a chance for at least a better week in the UK here in September[size=78%] ;D

I'm going to have a look at the video now :)

Aaw, enjoyed that 8)

Hello everyone,
A bit about me.
I am currently studying in the University of Nottingham following in my mother’s footsteps in year two of a three year nursing degree 🤱 and loving it even though at the moment everyone throughout the country is wondering what will happen with this dreadful virus that is kicking about.
I experienced San Stefanos for the first time last year when l met up with my Gran & Grandad who were staying in the Little Prince apartments. I had been to Corfu several times with my M & D but always stayed in Corfu Town which l absolutely love.
San Stefanos is certainly somewhere that l will make every effort to return to soon, even though my first impression was not good with the terrible weather that we experienced in early May, it was cold and wet and we even had a terrific hail storm. But when the sun returned it was lovely with a glorious beach and very friendly locals.
My Grandad is a member and l have been instructed by Mum to keep an 👁 on him
I just love Corfu and the lovely People.
-
Welcome to the forum, Jody.
Spying on grandads is absolutely forbidden. There are quite a lot of us on here, and you'd be amazed what we get up to! :o
-
Aah welcome Jody, lovely to hear your story! Good luck with your degree. So are you going to reveal who Grandad is? :)
-
I think I may know who Granddad is. If it it who I think it is he is a lovely man...

Spill the beans Jules

Yep, come on Jules ;D
-
Ha ha ❤️
-
Ha ha ❤️
;D
-
So no one has guessed who my Grandad is?
Just to say he is not best pleased with me.

Hello Jody! I can't find the post at the moment, but a poster mentioned that his daughter was a nurse, so potentially, your mum...I'll keep looking for it :)
-
Jody - Why is your granddad not pleased with you? Is he a bank robber who has been living incognito for twenty years? Is he a famous celeb who has been on The Chase? Did he win a million on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"
OMG - Is he a parking warden?
-
I think I know who it is :)

Welcome Sledge, to the forums! :)
