San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Hi Sarah, that would have been Danny, Rock Pig is still on his travels, been taken by various people to Thailand, the Hatton fight in Vegas and New York.

Have booked 2 weeks in Paleokastritsa this year, but hope to get over to SS to visit for a couple of nights. So stocks of Mythos should be OK!! Just hoping the wasps won't be as bad this year as they were last Sept, and the weather of course. Though that storm was spectacular.

a couple of us are going back just for a week in Sept, we may see you !!!  we arrive very early hours of Sept 19th.

i hope the wasps aren't as bad too, although i heard it was particularly bad last year.

May see you about !!

hi San

Just a bit more reassurance for you.

me and my friends have been a few times now and last September we met 2 guys (gay) where we were staying (Tereza). we instantly made a lifetime friendship with them and had a laugh all holiday. i think they were a bit apprehensive at first as had never been there, and were regulars to Kefalonia. however, they were made to feel welcome as is everybody and i am glad to say we kept in touch back home.

We met a few times for meals and nights out and even spent New year with them, and have since had a reunion holiday this May, where as usual we were all welcomed back as old friends.

We are going out this weekend actually as well, and they have decided to go for the 2 weeks next May and we are all booking up together. So they have changed to SS from kefalonia, so that in itself has to say something !!!

Enjoy !!!!

Well, i have normally been to SS in May and September. This year we had the 2 weeks in May but due to unexpected holidays used earlier in year and finance concerns, we hdnt booked our return visit for Sept and were not looking forward to the prospect of not going bck this year - greedy i know.

However, just 4 days after being home, myself and mate Jo have now booked a week 18th - 25th September !!!!!  yippeeeeeee !!!! feel so relieved now !!!!

We thought, sod it, life its too short to worry about crap, and so just booked it !!!!

However, we always go with Portland and stay at Teresa BUT.......Sept prices this year are ridiculous and have not come down at all. That week was £414 with Portland - we have had to go up the hill with Thomas Cook to Kapetanios (£290).

We would prefer to stay at Tereza's but hey its 30 secs up the hill and we will still spend all our time down the road, so its not a problem.

Oh yeah and Don arrives the day we go home !!!!  Some may say that is good planning......but we will defo meet for a drink before we leave. x

as i have mentioned before on here, Jenny & Leo from Mythica are good friends of mine.

they certainly picked up with business whilst we were there, and on 2 occassions we booked our table the day before to guarantee a place.

We had our last night with them and had we not booked we may just have been squeezed inside by the toilets !!!!

If they do as well i think they will, i recommend to book.

Enjoy - my fav is Lamb in Yoghurt, Jenny will know i sent you if you all start having that !!!!

well guys, back home 

First of all, it is still the same wonderful, laidback, sunny place that we all love so much.

There are a couple of new things going on :

MYTHICA =  my good friends Jenny & Leo (from Romanza) opened their new restaurant. Located to the left at junction and virtually opposite Yiannis Grill. A pure delight, gorgeous food served with fresh vegetables instead of rice or chips. Good home cooking with an extensive choice and is no more expensive than any other restaurant. A touch of class. Do visit them and tell them Sarah sent you !!


MAMA MIA- opening night is monday 25th May. Pavlos from Zorbas, and is next door to Zorbas. the old Mexican. He has been working very hard the whole time i was there to get it up and running. Looks very nice and am sure it will be of the high standard that is Zorbas.

UN-NAMED AS YET - small bar right next door to SAN STEF Travel. looks like it will be a nice place to chill and watch the world go by. looks very close to finishing.


Well it has been a strange start to the season, most places are booked up, but there never seems to be many about at night. The locals are worried that people are not going out spending in evenings. There is some concern there for survival this season, so come on guys go spend some money. Also the sunbeds did not appear on the beach until the 16th may, this was due to some auction for the pitches on the beach and some arguements, why not do that in the winter then ?

Weather has been great for May, we had a couple of cloudy days but they were still hot, as we did the marathon walk to Avliotes and back !!!!

As usual have been greeted back by all our Greek friends and treated like royalty, and have once again met some lovely people, also met people who stayed at Teresa when we did last year. So all in all it has been a great fortnight, and now we are dying to go back again.

If anyone wants to ask anything please feel free, am sure i can help out with any queries.

P.S Nothing has gone up over there fronm last year, inc Ciggies etc so thats good for us.

P.P.S  Met MIKE T from this forum, and his family, a pleasure to speak to. x

I use Ambre Solaire Clear Protection Spray, very easy to use and don't need to rub in, it just dries where you spray it.

Asda - had a very good deal on these, £5 each if i remember rightly.
