San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

We found San Stef 14 years ago. It was the first holiday with my new partner and my twins. Philip is very much a loner an does not do crowds or even cope well with a few humans in close proximity! We had been to a Thomsons Gold the year before in Yialiscari and had decided that it woyld be good to take the kids with us to Corfu. I did tons of research! I knew that we wanted a sandy beach and a quiet resort and eventually we (or rather I ) opted for two weeks at the Efi with Thomsons. (Free child place was the clincher!) The transfer coach went through Sidari.... I could see Philip's anxiety levels heighten every time the coach stopped at one of the complexes and names were called out. He remarked that if our names were called out at one of them he was on the next flight home!
We then did the hair raising coach trip through Avliotes where a boat on a trailer caused much reversing and breath holding (the coach the former, us the latter!)
As the coach went over the top of the bay we felt better. When we (being the last ones off!) eventually pulled up outside the Efi we were delighted! There was a lovely quiet pool and lots of space around it. Dimiti at the bar (there were two of them at the time; daytime Dimitri and night time Dimitri... Daytimemade better milk shakes but was very reserved as I recall.)
We spent our first two amazing weeks in San Stef. We ate at the Paradise a lot and met Glenn. We have been back every year since, bar one. This year I have five weeks and am already looking forward to it.

I notice that Thomson has got holidays at Tsaros or Terezas from 24th October !

What a shame! I know that there was a good deal of opposition to it by some of the local taxi drivers and some people would not sell tickets as they were afraid that it was illegal. But it was a great idea!

Just to add to th ecomments on donut man... I was up th efar end of the beach on the day before yesterday and he simply put baskets down on beach, wandered out to sea a coupe of yards and the proceeded to pee into the sea! No handwashingg either! Needless to say I did not purchase any of his wares!

Hi Sellsy. I can't answer your question about whether or not barras has fridges, but I did notice that margaritas supermarket had freezer packs that were very cheap last year so if you did want to pack your coolbag in your case you could pick up a couple of freezer packs if there was a fridge. We always take fruit and stuff to the beach but as others have said we buy drinks and snacks if we go to a pool.

It was one of the reasons Noula moved!!!

Isn't that a self catering holiday ? Tsaros aptmts have a good reputation. There will undoubtedly be lots of people on the site who can comment on them fully.

Tsaros pool bar is great. Thanassi and his wife and dad are lovely and they do a good breakfast and snacks throughout the day.
There are plenty of excellent eating places throughout the village. Browse this site and you will pick up loads of info. When are they going?
