San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Sorry to hear about your disappointing meal at Zorbas hobbes. Did you complain? I would have if it was that bad.  As for the dessert, many of the restaurants will serve a small portion of something sweet at the end of the meal, this is complimentary and not normally added to the bill. A nice touch I think..

What's what Winkie?

Of course it belongs to someone and it's a piece of wasteland, maybe  they could charge a small fee

Over the years I've seen Hotels ,apartments and shops built on what some might consider pieces of wasteland.  When they started building next to Pele and Maria's we wondered what it was going to be and were told it was to be a hotel. There's no room for a hotel there surely we thought , but lo and behold by the following year there was The Little Prince. Likewise Thomas Bay sprang up between September one year and the following June
 Fedra Mare was built on a bit of scrub land where Manthos used to keep his chickens and turkeys.
 Just goes to show one man's bit of wasteland is another man's Real Estate.
 
 No there weren't so many cars years ago , not many of the locals had a car and there weren't the number of tourists that there are now. We used to sometimes rent a car from Dino , anyone remember him?  He used to live opposite Olympia, sadly passed away a few years ago.  His cars were a bit ropey but they got us around and he was the only rental option in the village.

 Where else would they park? If they didn't park on the beach they'd only clutter up the roads and they're narrow enough. I admit it doesn't look very nice but so long as they park neatly and away from people I don't think there is an option. Most of them are probably day trippers from other parts of the island.

According to BBC news today Greece is accepting flights from the UK from next Wednesday 15th July.

Even more cars and people on the beach this afternoon but there's plenty of room for everyone. Wonder if any of the beach tavernas are open they could be making  a euro or two.

What may be worrying them are the number of Italian visitors they get in the Summer. What are the choices, do they cancel their bookings or just carry on and hope for the best?
