San Stefanos news and views / Weather
« on: September 12, 2024, 09:54:00 PM »
Saw there had been really bad weather this week, and just looking at the long range forecast for next 2 weeks looks rainy every day...do I care?  ::) Nope, cos a rainy day in San Stef is better than a sunny day at work... 8)

Out and About / Corfu Town
« on: September 08, 2024, 09:29:28 PM »
The only previous time we have done a day trip to Corfu Town, we noticed a little land train going from the Spianada. We didn't ride it. (I had learned that day why they tell you NOT to drink the water... :-[)  We are hoping to visit CT again this time-does the land train still run? If so is it worth it?

San Stefanos news and views / Heatwave?
« on: June 17, 2024, 03:43:31 PM »
For anyone currently out there-Is it really that hot there currently?
The body of an American tourist has reportedly been found on the Greek island of Mathraki, adding to the list of foreigners missing or dead during a record-setting heatwave. (From the BBC)

San Stefanos news and views / Vicky
« on: June 02, 2024, 10:30:45 PM »
So, skimming through the San Stefanos vlogs on Youtube, and what should come up but a new vid for "SunSeaView Hotel" in SS. Except, it looked very familiar! Turns out Vicky has a new name. It does look the only thing that is new though-the rooms looked exactly the same.... I'm assuming its still in foreign hands as I haven't seen it come up on any UK travel websites?

San Stefanos news and views / Anyone there yet?
« on: May 22, 2024, 05:49:11 PM »
Who is the first of us to go this year-we don't go until mid-September. C'mon folks, we need an on-the-ground report of what's what. We haven't been since 2021 so need a lot of updating!! We can't keep watching Gavlos media over and over for our fix!

San Stefanos news and views / Stay safe

To all our friends in San Stef and the rest of the island, stay safe and we hope you aren't affected by the fires. We are thinking of you!

Where to stay / Tell me about the Athina's rooms
« on: June 04, 2023, 03:56:56 PM »
Looking to book for next year-our first trip since the Vicky was snatched from us! >:(  Steve has stayed at Thomas Bay before and wasn't keen, so we are looking at the Athina. Do the rooms have fridges? We were totally spoilt at Vicky (quite apart from the TLC from Lesley ;D ) in that we had fridge, cooker and all kitchen facilities. I have to say NOT having a fridge would be a game changer for me!

Has the Vicky been tarted up and reopened by whoever bought it? Just curious as I understood it was going to be marketed at the Russians!

San Stefanos news and views / Corfu ferry fire
« on: February 18, 2022, 03:05:59 PM »
Just seen on the BBC that a ferry has caught fire near Corfu and they are rescuing passengers-says off the coast of Erikoussa, so presumably near us (SS, you know what I mean!!)

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Yiannis Grill
« on: August 31, 2021, 07:12:29 PM »
Has Yiannis Grill moved? We found a new video uploaded on Youtube last night of SS and Arillas and there was a Yiannis Grill that looked like a big 2 storey building-a bit like the old Beer O Clock building-has it moved there? We've never eaten there but every time we passed last year it seemed to be full so they must be doing something right!! Or was the one on the video in Arillas? We don't know Arillas at all so couldn't be sure!

San Stefanos news and views / Parga day trip
« on: August 18, 2021, 11:40:07 PM »
Has anyone done the Parga day trip with San Stef Travel? Is it worth the trip? Is it a long day?

San Stefanos news and views / Tell us about "Sunny Bay" Hotel?
« on: August 18, 2021, 05:16:01 PM »
We have recently found 2 separate youtube vids about "an abandoned hotel in San Stef" and when we watched it, it is definitely our San Stef not the other one Where is it-is this opposite Aspas where all the moggies get fed? When was it open ? We don't remember it was open at all!

San Stefanos news and views / walk to akrotiri
« on: September 17, 2020, 04:22:46 PM »
Which is the best way to walk to Akrotiri from the village? Looking at google maps, there appears to be several "tracks" from the village, plus a road opposite Town Pizza-which would you recommend ? Factors to bear in mind are : I whine a lot when I'm hot and hate to walk up really steep hills!  ;D

San Stefanos news and views / Youtube vid
« on: August 27, 2020, 12:08:48 PM »
Found a newly uploaded video of San Stef on Youtube last night-it included footage of the Vicky pool so when Greece closes the doors me and DH can lie on the floor looking up at the screen and pretend we are there!  :'( Its by Pete Marks if anyone wants a look. It looks like he was on the first plane when Corfu reopened!
