...till we visit San Stefanos for the 1st time.
Very much looking forward to it and have enjoyed reading this forum and getting some good tips!
We are staying at Terezas for 2 weeks, and read some great reviews.
I've been to Corfu before but a long time ago and it's my girl friends first visit.
I've got my Gerald Durrell Corfu trilogy ready in my suitcase!
Will post a few 'newbie' questions in the relative sections ::)
-
will see you there .It is our 13th time at Teresa .You will love it
-
Jules....I will be looking like a milk bottle and Amanda will be doing her splattered cat impression! She loves the sun ;)
-
What time do you arrive Les Shark Boy
-
Quite early, flying with Thomson on the 30th
-
We arrive in Corfu at about 8.45pm so will be at Teresa about 10pm as having a minibus for 4 of us. Flying in from Manchester :)
-
Just checked and we arrive at 12:15, so guessing we'll be at hotel by 2pm. Think a dip in the pool will be high on the agenda! ;)
Downside is got a late flight home, but I'm not even gonna think about that!
-
Late flight home is like having an extra day in San Stef :)
-
hi all, i,m going to be there on the 2nd sept, it,s also my first time to sanstefanos, hope to see some of you about.
-
Where in the village are you staying holidaygirl ?
-
I'm really looking forward to my holibobs! 8) ;D
-
Same here Les Shark Boy :)
-
hi jules, i,m staying at the rose garden apartments, i,ve been told that they are very nice!
-
Never stayed there but my friend has and she says they are very nice.
-
just hope that they are not to far out of the village, especially at night, might not be able to see my way back!
-
They are nice - we went and looked at them - I don't think you'll find them too much of a stroll - - you could do it in about 10-15 mins walk from the centre of the main street depending how quickly you walk - me - I would say relax and take a slow 20 min stroll back...
-
Hi Holidaygirl,
Just returned from 2 weeks at the Rose Garden - excellent!
Don't worry about the walk into San Stefanos - you soon get used to it and only takes 10 minutes leisurely walk. All roads are well lit.
-
Less than 2 weeks now Les Shark Boy :)
-
Yep! Been thinking I should get the suitcases down from the loft! ;)
-
Ours are already down :)
-
Ours are down as well - and 4 weeks to go for us...
-
That's forward planning Tony! ;D
-
I haven't even unpacked most of mine yet. Might as well leave it there!
-
It's 12 days and counting for me ....
I'm returning for my 14th time, however last time I was there was 2008!! I bet there has been a lot of changes, it sounds it!
Staying at the Jasmine apartments this time, usually stay at Barras but booked independently instead!
Cant wait!! ;D
-
14th time! Wow em202!
This is my first visit but it's good to read that people frequently return, says a lot. :)
-
Les Shark Boy - Some people go for the weekend!
Your first impression will probably be: what's the fuss about?
Then you will start to get the point - relax - enjoy the welcome - enjoy the views and the beach.
On your second trip everybody will remember you.
On your third trip you will be embraced in super markets, tavernas, bars and by the sun-bed renters.
On your fifth trip you'll be part of the family!
-
Yup that's exactly how it was for me Jimbo!! ;D
I usually get comments about how they remember me when I was only little, about 8 years old and can't believe how quick the time has gone... (I'm now 28)!!
Very nice people! We only returned by coincidence at first- we booked one of the "square deals" I think they were called? you didnt know where you were going until the coach pulled up at the apartments. 1st time san stefanos, 2nd time arillas, 3rd san stefanos.. and then booked san stefanos since!
I can't wait to return!!
i've never ever considered going for shorter than 2 weeks, but I can see why people do it! Might keep that idea in the back of my mind :)
-
14th time! Wow em202!
This is my first visit but it's good to read that people frequently return, says a lot. :)
I've been trying to calculate how many times we have visited San Stefanos since 1987 but I lost count at 50!

Wow 50!!! that is unreal!! ;D Do you have your own place there? would have been worthwhile!!
I think 1993 was my first time!
-
2 weeks tomorrow for us ;D
Just need to get a camping weekend behind us and then we can get the cases ready. Need to sort out a couple of new shirts at least, otherwise the holiday photo's just look the same as last year!! ;)
-
I have also lost count of how many times we've been since 1983 - - it's the people there that make this the nicest village on the planet
Bit like Jimbo said - except with less visitors in 1983, they made us part of the family in "old San Stefanos" on our second visit - - we were invited guests at Kostas Christening and still have our little gift in our display cabinet at home, and have gone back ever since....
Our next trip is in 25 days time - - (last two weeks in Sept) anyone else going then - - we must meet for a chat and a drink.....
-
We'll be there, Tony. Shall we try to book Delfino Blu?
-
We'll be there,bound to bump in to each other.
-
Great! Shall I try to book for all of us?
-
I think we'll stick to good food - be great to see you again - where are you all
staying?
-
we'll be there last week staying at Christinas/Fedra
