« on: May 31, 2009, 01:03:35 PM »
ok, all you Stan Sefa regulars, Tavernas are high up in the holiday needs/requirements [ especially me  ;D].
As the "season" is fast approaching how about providing, for we first timers, your definitive top 5 eateries

Thanks

Information and help please / Info re This Walk please
« on: May 31, 2009, 12:54:55 PM »
Tony was good enough to post info re directions, not sure if this walk was in it, so apologies if already done.

Any terrain, sights etc info on this one?

Starting from Paradise Taverna, head toward Perros and Efi and then what looks like a series of zig zags on the road , up a hill? [how far?] to a T Junction.
From there it looks as though you can see down into Arillas.Turn right and your on a cliff top walk? until you come to the Panorama apts, and down hill into village past the Tsaros. OR,turn left at T junction and go along until you come to another T, with tavernas near [ Star & Sunset tavs?] Turn right and you go down what looks like a fairly longish hill to Arillas.

Is it possible to walk from one beach to the other or is the headland too much of an obstacle?

San Stefanos news and views / Zimmer's top 5

Well I expect SS to enter the top 5 judging by everyone's remarks, but there are other places, so heres my top 5 based on Beauty,ambience and food etc [ especially the etc ! ]

5 ] Kos town - but thats 1978 when tourism had started and everything was wonderfully authentic and nieve

4] Three Cliffs Bay - Gower Pen - is there a more beautiful place in the UK? magical, if only we had the weather

3]Kassiopi - Very nice,quite sophisticated in a way

2] Skala Potamia - Thassos - great tavernas,lovely horse shoe bay

1] Polis - Cyprus - fantastic in every way and driving is a pleasure too

others

Tsilvi,Zante - bit too commercialised for me
Gouvia - Crete - we found it very arid
Dassia and Sidari - ok , nice hols wouldnt go back, Sidari is over-developed and loud
Menorca - I like Menorca but I think you need to be choosy about the resorts and avoiding the football shirts
Carvoeiro - could be a great holiday if youre fairly near the town centre
Majorca - ok, doesnt do it for me

San Stefanos news and views / Do you miss the kids?
« on: May 24, 2009, 11:08:02 AM »
It's been 30 years since we took a holiday without any,no doubt when we do the thing we'll talk about will be them ::) The youngest probably wont come with us after this year,beside's he's not a child anymore.But I still miss things like sand castles etc, it would look stupid a 58 year old building sand castles :D,theres no doubt when you take kids the dynamics of the holiday change,I wonder what it'll be like when it's just two of us and will it be as good?

San Stefanos news and views / would you live in San Stef?
« on: May 08, 2009, 12:20:29 AM »
theres a real "lerve affair" with the place going on, but could you see yourself living or retiring there?

Ive felt like that about Polis in Cyprus, mainly because theres enough anglocentricity about Cyprus to make me adjust

Where to stay / So where are you staying? and why?
« on: April 27, 2009, 05:19:52 PM »
I see Holiday uncovered has our apartments - The Rose Garden - in 4th place [ goodness knows how they work these things out ] we primarily chose it because it's a little way out of town and looks just right in supplying 2 bedrooms, a/con [ got to have that] and situated where I can take my early morning walk - I'm an early riser.
Hope this Mexican swine thing doesnt interupt travel
