San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Does anyone know if that new creperie taverna is open this year?  It's next door to The Little Prince.  They were gorgeous last year.

Hello all.  Just a quick update as my wife and I have been here a week now.  First of all I must mention the apartments that we are in, Fedra Mare.  They are fabulous, nipping clean, lovely pool area, unbelievably quiet, the hosts are professional and the group of guests staying here are all lovely and we all get along.
It has already been mentioned on this board but here we go again;
CLOSED - Nafsika, Thomas Bay, Acabar, Athens Bar, 180°.
The beach is relatively full throughout the day and Waves and Manthos are doing a roaring trade at lunchtime.  The Tavernas/restaurants are mostly full on an evening.  The bars such as Prince Bar, Star Bar and Condor are all busy.  Kamini, Aquarius, El Greco, Barras, 3 W and Bar 38 are all "ticking along nicely".  Prices are more or less the same as last year.  Most if not all owners of said establishments are pleasantly surprised of takings as they were worried at the beginning of the season.  The flight and airport experience was a breeze.  We both feel more safe here than we do at home especially as there has been a rise in covid cases in the North East.
Finally the weather ........... has been absolutely fantastic with brilliant sunshine every day with temperatures of 31°. However there is a thunderstorm predicted for Thursday night into the early hours of Friday and then bright sunshine again.  Take care everyone and stay safe.

This is a question mainly for the people that have already visited San Stef this year or are there now.  Are tavernas and pubs taking contactless, what with covid, or do they prefer euros?

Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help me (I'm thinking you Lesley).

I have booked a fortnight in June with Fedra Mare direct and I'm trying to get in touch with them.  I booked last November and I have been trying to make contact to organise "pick up times" etc.  Initially I was dealing with Charitini via e-mail and telephone but I don't appear to be making progress as of late.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks.

I know this has been done to death, what with the top three tavernas etc but I need to get into the San Stef food mood so I thought what better than to ask you all;

A) name your favourite food/meal.
B) why?
C) whereabouts.

Add anything extra like what drinks etc.  I suppose I'm attempting to kick start the forum for the upcoming season.  Come on, let's get going again!

Hello everyone.  My wife and I have gotten pretty friendly with the two brothers that run Gravia and last year Kostas let it slip that his girlfriend was expecting a baby.  We were wondering if anyone knew if he was a dad yet or not.  We would love to take the proud parents a present this summer so as much information as possible would be appreciated (boy/girl, weight etc).  I'm sure Lesley will know.

Thanks in advance.

I do believe this subject has been discussed previously so I apologise in advance to the regulars, however I would love to know what happens to San Stef in the Christmas time.  Honestly, I would like to know some certain information that others may seem strange or indeed obvious.

1. Is the village of San Stef still open/operating (any places still going) or surrounding villages.

2. Where do the people all go for Christmas.

3. What happens to their property if they are closed for the winter.

4. Could I or anyone else actually spend Christmas in San Stef (niche in the market me thinks, eh Jimbo).

Just some random but honest thoughts that I wanted to share.  I am sure you know the answers to most if not all Lesley.

The wife and I returned on Friday just gone and what a wonderful time spent at the Romanza Hotel.  I was a little concerned about the hill as I have a "knackered knee" but I managed it quite well and it became easier as the holiday progressed.

The food was very good in the Romanza and the staff were perfect.  Thanks Katerina, Dimitris, Andreas, Speros, Eleni and Stella.

My only moan was not regarding the Romanza itself but the actions of some of the guests.  Let me explain.  I must stress the issue I am about to expand on was more irritating than a full blown problem to me and my wife.  There was a small party of five people who "booked" the same sunbeds for the whole of the two week stay.  I kid you not, the same five sunbeds!  We were going for breakfast at roughly 8:30 am and there were the "booked" sunbeds.  What then occurred was a domino effect where other guests started "booking" their sunbeds.  It was not unusual for anywhere between 12 and 20 sunbeds to be draped in  various coloured towels and not one single person present around the pool.  This has to be the most SELFISH act anyone can do on holiday in my opinion.  Even more annoying was the fact sometimes these beds were not being occupied until approx 11:00 and sometimes left unoccupied for most of the day.  Sometimes "owners" of the sunbeds would make a brief appearance and then bugger off to another pool down the village because they deemed it too windy around the Romanza pool.  UNBELIEVABLE!  It did not bother the wife and I too much (honestly) as we like to wander around anyway.  It would be a shame though if an infirm person was not able to sit or lie around the pool due to these SELFISH people.  Totally out of order!
