San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

These are layers of bricks set into the cliff face just before you get to the private beach hut and not a building.    They seemed even more prominent this year, where the cliff has eroded some more I suppose.

Just an update on Thomson transfers to and from resort.  Took us 1 hr 30 mins to resort, not too many drop offs.  Took 2 hours back to airport.  We had Lauren, Thomson rep on bus as she was working at the airport that day.  There was some confusion about people who had booked taxis to airport and hadn't let rep know, therefore we were turning up at apartments and there was no one to pick up.  Also another couple had booked a taxi and changed their minds at last minute, so we had to wait on the coach whilst a mini bus went to pick them up to meet our coach!!  Please, if you want to alter your transfers, make sure that your rep is clear about this, as it causes a lot of frustration for probably 50 other people driving around resorts for nothing!!  On a good note, the drivers were much better and seemed to know where they were going this year!!

Lesley, that is good advice.  We arrived back last night and for 3 days last week we barely left the apartment as the heat and humidity were just too much. If you cannot stand that temperature, you will most certainly need air con.  My husband had slight heatstroke although he kept out of the sun on the really hot days.  Have to agree though, the sea was very welcoming and my advice is to keep in and out of the sea to cool down if you do go on the beach!  We have come back to torrential rain today so that is a bit of relief, but would still love to be back in San Stef!!  Missing it already!

We are going for our 8th visit to SS on 1st July.  We are lucky enough to have 3 holidays per year, but SS is what we call our 'chilling out' holiday!  We have been to several other Greek islands.  My first with John was Lesvos, which we loved.  It was very similar to SS with the 'family like' atmosphere.  We did return there after 2 years, but it was not as good as the first time.  We can't pull ourselves away from SS at the moment but who knows if we may get fed up with it someday!!  I think from our point of view, it is obviously the friendly atmosphere but also the feeling of safety in the resort.  I would not like to see too many changes in the resort, as I think it could easily be spoilt for some of us.  Anyway, 6 more sleeps for us, if I can manage to sleep!!

Thanks Debra for the detailed reply.  Glad Costas is doing so well!  Will make the effort to visit him this year when we're feeling energetic enough for the walk!   Thanks Tony for your opinion too.

We fly home on the 8th....... Sorry Peter !
We could always look for a Canarian restaurant LOL

Don, looks like our paths may cross too!  Feel I know you all already having been on this fantastic site!!

We're going 1st July for fortnight.  Normally go beginning of June, so we are bound to see a few new faces this time!!  Can't wait!!
