San Stefanos news and views / So long for now...

« on: April 07, 2014, 04:38:45 PM »

Hi all.

As has been previously mentioned on the forum, I will not be in San Stefanos this summer. I returned to Wales back at the end of October and will be staying here for the foreseeable future due to family health issues. It was a big decision for me not to return this year but home is where I need to be right now. I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 summers as a San Stefano Travel girl and will always consider the village as my second home.
I met some great characters there over the years, both locals and visitors alike and have been blessed with memories that will keep me smiling well into old age!!
I hope you all enjoy your summer holidays this year, I'm not ashamed to say that I will be green with envy at the thought of you lazing on my beach!!
So long folks, it has been a pleasure.

Hi all! The season is fast approaching and we are all getting ready to greet our first arrivals and many more there after. For those of you who visited last year, did you pick up the village summer newspaper? We had such great feedback from our first edition of Sun, Sea & ...San Stef that we decided to go ahead and create one for 2012 also. It includes articles about the local area, culture, places of interest, handy hints and tips and much much more! The paper is almost complete but I was hoping to include some feedback from you about San Stefanos in general i.e the location, the atmosphere, why you love San Stefanos etc. in a section called Kind Words From You. I'm looking for short, sweet reviews to include. If you have any feedback for last years newspaper these comments would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance and as soon as the paper is ready I will post it online. Feel free to post your feedback in this section, I can only choose a few but all comments are welcome!

Dear Forum Members,
We hope that you have been enjoying the new and improved forum. Some of you have questioned the disappearance of the topic 'Word Association', this topic and some others have been removed as they were not relevant to San Stefanos and provided no information about the area. The aim of this forum is to generate questions and answers to aid members in their search for local knowledge. We have provided many other tools for you to communicate with each other for general chat purposes, such as the chat box in Yiammas Bar where you can log in through facebook and talk with other online forum members. There is also a new tool where you can upload videos direct from youtube. We hope that you appreciate that we have had to remove some not so useful topics etc. in order to replace them with other tools that will improve user quality and also the quality of information shared within the forum.
If anyone has any questions about the new layout and tools within the forum, feel free to contact either Dimitris or Cerys.

Out and About / San Stefano Travel - Your Local Travel Agent: New Ideas for 2012

« on: January 23, 2012, 03:34:18 PM »

We have been thinking ahead for Summer 2012 and of new and exciting ways for you to explore the North West coast of Corfu, and we think weve come up with the perfect combination. How does a walk from San Stefanos to Canal D'Amour via Cape Drastis sound to you? OK? Well what if we add in a boat trip too, sounding better!? This exhillerating route allows you to explore the extroadinary coastline on foot one way, and on your return journey rest your tired legs onboard Nearchos and set sail from Canal D'Amour back to San Stefanos, mirroring your route and enabling you to take in the most famous coastline in Corfu from two perspectives. The natural wonders that are Canal D'Amour and Cape Drastis are so close to San Stefanos, and yet many of you may never have experienced their beauty. San Stefano Travel aims to bring the hidden treasures of the island to light and make them accessable to all so that return visitors have something different to look forward to time after time. Below is the link to our facebook page where you can have a sneak peak at the amazing photos we took from Cape Drastis & Canal D'Amour.
Let us know what you think and if you have a good idea for an excursion, feel free to contact us and we'll see what we can do!

« on: November 04, 2011, 03:53:47 PM »

I hope that you will all be glad to hear that next years addition of Sun, Sea & ... San Stef (an information leaflet in the style of a news paper about the resort and surrounding areas) is coming alsong nicely. I am currently collecting 'Handy Hints & Tips' and thought who better to ask that you guys for your helpful holiday hints. I am looking for any general tips that guests will find useful, one example being freezing bottles of water and using them as ice packs in a picnic, then drinking the ice cold water as it melts. If anybody has an example feel free to post them here, or send me a private message.
Kind regards.
