Information and help please / Hand luggage

« on: July 25, 2012, 01:13:01 AM »

having a lovely time here at San Stefanos but sadly due to leave this Sat. Would like to take home some nice gifts from Olive Woods which are quite heavy. Do they weigh or are they strict with hand luggage at Kerkyra airport?

Information and help please / Dress for eating out?

« on: July 10, 2012, 12:25:20 PM »

I've found that usually anything goes in the way of dress attire on the Greek islands for eating out at night and usually take a mix of strappy tops, cropped trousers and a couple of dresses. In recent years I've found that some of the loose long summer dresses are really comfortable in the evenings, but when we were staying in a very small resort in Lefkada I felt they were a bit out of place. Are there others in San Stefanos favouring the long dresses at the moment as every gram in the hold luggage has to be carefully considered?!!

Information and help please / Breakfast

We will be arriving in Corfu around 2am heading for San Stefanos on the morning of Sat 14th July. Does anyone know if you can get something to eat and drink in the morning at the Olga apartments? If not where would be the nearest place to get something or nearest food shop to there?

Out and About / Small beaches

« on: July 07, 2012, 08:48:25 PM »

As well as the main beaches we also enjoy finding very small beaches (sand or pebble) without parasols etc so wondered where we might find any up to 40 kms from San Stefanos?

A week today we will be in San Stefanos!!

Information and help please / Tablet 3G

« on: July 04, 2012, 01:30:40 AM »

Am coming to San Stefanos next week and I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab with 3G (unlocked) which I'd like to take
with me to browse the internet using its 3G slot but have a few
questions to see if this is possible. Firstly is there any 3G/HSDPA
coverage? If so, I was thinking of buying a Greek pay as you go sim
card as I assume the data rates will be much cheaper than taking a
pay as you go sim card from the UK (the normal one I use is very pricey for
roaming) - are there any Greek network simcards that would be a good
buy from the area, where would I be able to buy one if they exist?
I've heard it's possible to buy foreign sim cards in the UK which
would be handy as I could get the tablet set up before I go so it's
ready when I'm on holiday. Any suggestions as to where I might get one?

Information and help please / Money availability

Am coming out to San Stefanos for the first time next week. I've been travelling to and loving the Greek Islands for 10 years now, but San Stefanos will probably be the smallest resort that we've stayed in. I get the impression there's only a few ATM's in S St and the wider area and not always reliable. Would the nearest bank be Corfu Town or are there any nearer?
