Title: A long 6 years!
Post by: Jacksi on May 01, 2013, 10:18:53 PM
Hi - I am new to this forum but have been reading it for a while now. We last went to San Stefanos 6 years ago this month and stayed at the Thomas Bay, which we loved and could not fault.  We enjoyed the food, the drinks and the company and had a brilliant time there.  We always said we would go back as we too fell in love with San Stefanos and after a few years of long haul all inclusive holidays we have decided to return back to our beloved San Stefanos.   

We did feel though that by staying at the Thomas Bay on half board we missed out on visiting all these wonderful restaurants I keep reading about and so have decided to stay at Tereza (we have friends that have stayed there before and it comes highly recommended).  So please can I ask the following questions:

Has San Stefanos changed much in the last 6 years does anyone think, will we be disappointed that it has become more commercialised or will we see it as just the same lovable laid back village?

As over the past few years we havent really had to think about spending money for meals and drinks etc, so any information on prices of meals and drinks would be very helpful.   

We arrive in San Stefanos late on the evening, will there be anywhere open that we could get something to eat. 

That will do for now but I am sure that there will be lots of questions I will want to ask.

Thanks

Hi Jacksi good choice of hotel we were there 2 years ago and are going back next week the views from the font apartments and bar are stunning .We have only been going 4 years but in that time there has been no major changes.
Don,t remember having a bad meal in San Stef they are all pretty good, part of the fun is trying out as many different ones as you can and go back on the last night to your favorite if you can agree on it.
10 euros will get you 2 courses 2-3 euros for a beer . Enjoy  8)

Hi Jacksi and welcome to the forum.
How late will you be arriving at Teresa? When we have arrived around 10pmish we have been able to get toasties from the bar. In the village you will be able to get gyros etc from Tasty Corner or from Yannis.  Taverna wise for food will depend how late you are.
We have stayed at Teresa now for the last 12 years so we know you have made a great choice with apartments. If you need to know anymore just ask.

Hi 

We fly just before 3 pm from the UK so would expect to arrive around 8 pm at Corfu Airport (Greek time), then there is the wait on the coach and then the journey up to San Stefanos.  So probably around 11 pm I would think.  We arrived more or less this time when we arrived at Thomas Bay and they provided us with a meal even though it was that late, albeit we were half board.  I dont expect the Tereza to start cooking for us at that time but it would be nice to know we could get something to eat - we will be starving and ready for a few drinks I would expect!!!

Thanks for your help

We arrived at a similar time last year and ate at Yannis. Will be doing the same on June 14th followed by a beer or 2 in Athens bar.

Thank you for all your help - I have been a tad distracted from this forum this week with a certain football team getting promotion last weekend been celebrating somewhat excessively!!!  But I am with you all again and am sure there will be a thousand and one things I want to ask you all.   

I am so looking forward just to the food alone - we missed out last time being half board, not that I am complaining about the food we had it was all gorgeous but just cant wait to taste all these things I have read about on here!!

I was at the match. What a day! I thought I'd need a pace-maker.

Up the Tigers! Fancy a pint in the Pave? I'll ask Steve if he can get some Mythos in!!

Marlborough Avenue. Well-placed for a drink. Or a meal. Haven't been in the Old Zoo since it changed into Pearsons.

WE dont usually do Princess Avenue, (Beech Tree is our local) but the kids were with us (well not really kiddies anymore!!) and dragged me there along with my friend and then my husband joined us and we ended up celebrating most of the weekend really!!!

Mythos in Pave - really???

Beech Tree food looks nice.

I'm sure I can organise some Mythos in Pave. Might even persuade the (very good) chef to make moussaka!

Stifado is my craving!!!  Other half not too keen on mousakka!!  But klefticoff (spelling), funnily enough he said to me earlier what would they think if he asked them to remove all the fat off the lamb before serving it to him, other than that he loves that!!!  I love mousakka though too!!!!!

Nowhere around here serves Greek food so if you could get Pave to do a Greek evening, with Mythos thrown in, would be perfect!!!!!

Food in Beech Tree not so good nowadays though!!!!

Calm down you two... making me dribble all this Greek food talk...
It's surprising how many good friends you make just by being part of this forum...
