http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-20594958 great news to see even more Uk routes added to schedules including last weeks announcement by AerLingus of flights from Dublin direct to Corfu.

I did put this in as a search earlier but it came on here as not known, so if anyone does have an email contact for Teresa's Apts & pool much welcome.  Thank you.

An link into a great review for our beach at Agios (San) Stefanos especially for any new forum visitors planning their first visit this summer. http://www.greeklandscapes.com/beach/ag-stefanos.html

I wanted to share this wonderful experience with all whom visit, love and embrace Agios (San) Stefanos and as a sorta local (I am married to a Greek man from the nearby village of Avliotes). So we often frequent the harbour of San Stefanos a short if somewhat hot walk from the resort centre often as we drive it, picking up or dropping off visitors who also come down to see what the real local life is all about.  You sit in the 'Kantina' run by our man of course Spiros and catch the comings and goings of the fisherman or listen to the arguments always seems (to me) to be in my limited Greek about politics with lots of Ouzo and retsina being consumed as the locals put the world and Greece to rights.  However today was something else so special it really did touch my heart......A Cretan Cheese seller arrived selling the most sumptuous and tasty cheese I have ever eaten, if fairness he didn't know who would be there but after a few ouzos he and his brother downed, the music began, the cheese was offered around and a mini festival began, all the normal conversations of politics where by the by as those who made their way down to our little harbour who happened to be passing were able to  enjoy the dancing, singing and the beautiful cheese, yes of course he wanted to sell his cheese but it didn't matter we all enjoyed our lunchtime 'frappe', ouzo or retsina, he posed in his leather Cretan boots and traditional costume, I just love random days like this on our wonderful island of Corfu and Greece.  A french couple and a Austrian Couple also just were in passing stopped drank and took part as they took photos they will surely go back to tell many happy stories and pass the word of the 'Filoxenia' which cost nothing and is in abundance on our beautiful island.  Visit Greece, Corfu and Agios (San) Stefanos just comes to mind.  I live here and was touched so hope you will be too.........

Have put this in new as couldnt find another so apoligises if already posted, but I received an alert from BMI Baby saying they start flights to Corfu from May 28th through September from East Midlands airport, so now along with Easyjet, Ryan and also Jet2 and Monarch seems plenty of choice for next summer if you are doing your own thing.  Their website being www.bmibaby.com. So thats London Gatwick, Stanstead, Luton, Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol and now East Midlands covered for our visitors, all a step in the right direction. Now needs some Scottish flights with good prices.

Just to let all know the buses start on August 1st check out vendors within resort displaying the sign. You must have pre paid tickets before boarding the bus.
