Information and help please / Taxi from Airport to Little Prince
« on: May 08, 2013, 04:37:04 PM »
I am trying to decide if a taxi transfer from the airport is worth it. Our flight is due to land at 8.05pm on 7 June & our Thomson booking includes coach transfer. I would not anticipate the coach leaving until 9 pm at the earliest & then depending on the number of drop-offs I guess the transfer could take anything up to two & a half hours. (This time taken from Thomson brochure -how accurate might that be?).
San Stefanos Travel website is quoting 55 euros for a taxi transfer. Anyone know how long the journey takes at that time of night? I'm only interested in a one way transfer because quite prepared to use Thomson coach for journey back to airport.
Any help appreciated.

San Stefanos news and views / We didn't like San Stefanos
« on: June 24, 2012, 11:59:20 AM »
Well - not for the first couple days! Initially we couldn't help comparing it to Elounda - there was no pretty harbour & we were disappointed with our first meal. The food was served differently than we'd had in Elounda & was not what we were expecting (although we wouldn't say it was bad).
I'm not sure what happened then - maybe it was the welcome we got at the juice bar from Shane & Sandra - maybe it was the people we met at the Kamini bar - maybe it was Nikos in the Athens bar -or maybe it was that the next couple of meals were excellent & lived up to our expectations - but we found ourselves enjoying it . After a week (we were there for 2 weeks) we were thinking we might consider going back next year & a few days later we were looking at possible places to stay. The day before we left we had decided we would definitely be going back to stay at Little Prince apartments.
One lady said it was her 17th time in San Stefanos & she believed that when people got there they all became nice people. Maybe that sums it up.

Information and help please / Cardiac hill?
« on: May 28, 2012, 11:15:55 PM »
I get a little "worried" when people mention cardiac hill & steep climbs because although we are staying at Little Prince (which I believe is not up a mountain) we would like to visit some of the other accommodation mentioned in these forums  (Tereza's & Romanza for example and  Akrotiri cafe). On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being flat & 10 being almost perpendicular) how steep are these climbs & should they be attempted by a 70 year old who has no mountaineering boots or climbing ropes? Lol.

Where to stay / Irons
« on: May 21, 2012, 12:13:04 PM »
Will be staying at Little Prince Apartments on 8 June. I know from their website that they have hair-driers in the rooms but does anyone know if they have irons, or should we bring our own?

Information and help please / First time in Corfu
« on: March 30, 2012, 12:38:38 PM »
We've been to a number of Greek islands but 8 June 2012 will begin our first visit to Corfu. My wife & I (mature couple) will be staying at Little Prince Apartments for 2 weeks. We enjoy lazing around the pool during the day with maybe a mid-morning stroll for coffee & going out for dinner at a taverna. We also enjoy taking part in fun quizzes. Our favourite resort is Elounda (Crete) - we've been there 6 times & are due to return in September. What do we like about Elounda? - laid back resort, friendly locals, a pretty harbour, enough tavernas that you can eat in a different one every night of a 2 week holiday (we actually have 4 or 5 favourites that we return to 2 or 3 times during those 2 weeks), bars with no rowdyism or drunks spilling out onto the streets. San Stefanos looks like it will be a good fit for us but any recommendations on where to go & what to avoid will be most welcome.
