It just arrived-now I can go to bed happy -well apart from wondering if the taxi will remember to pick us up at 5am! Ah, the joys of being a whittle-ar*e, as my mum used to call me! ;)
Thanks for putting up with me, I don't have a smart phone so can't update from SS (unless I can wrestle Hubby's off him, when he's doing his fantasy NFL team! ) but I'll tell you what it was like when I get back (assuming we remember to fill in our UK forms...)

Well we go tomorrow morning-and now I am panicking like crazy that the code won't come through for us to be allowed to travel-my silly husband was daft enough to mention that it should come through after midnight so now I probably won't sleep waiting for it to come-and then what if it doesn't? Has anyone heard of issues with the code not coming? what do we do-presumably we can't go, do we have to try again, is there anywhere you can contact to see what the problem is? Aggggggggghhhhhhh, major panic now-someone talk to me, reassure me... :( :'(
Lesley, really hope to see you tomorrow!

Thanks all of you-I will put all these to Steve and see which he thinks-he has done the walk up and over to Arillas in a previous (wife-free) life so we'll see how long he thinks he can tolerate my moaning for!  ;D
Of course if he really loved me he would give me a piggy back up the hill...

Which is the best way to walk to Akrotiri from the village? Looking at google maps, there appears to be several "tracks" from the village, plus a road opposite Town Pizza-which would you recommend ? Factors to bear in mind are : I whine a lot when I'm hot and hate to walk up really steep hills!  ;D

Don't steal our sunshine! We are coming out Monday (Bojo -willing!) although I must admit I can't get excited yet as I am still convinced it will go boobs-up at the last minute!! I think I will get excited when the wheels touch down on the tarmac at Corfu airport! Thanks for the report-it helps us decide where we will go to eat  each night

The launderette is still there but not open due to COVID restrictions it is located next to the Olive Wood shop just opposite Barola and next to 3W's....... we miss it too as I also get our duvets cleaned come Spring/Summer ready for  our Winter use...... may need to just buy new ones for this Winter instead.......

Thanks Lesley-well its quite simple then, either we eat all our meals in the Vicky pool or we consume nothing but vodka and gin so as not to stain anything we wear!   ;D

Thanks Karen. I am currently sitting at my desk at work looking at google maps of SS and picturing us there! Fingers crossed they can hold off locking us out for at least another week!

Where is Gravia? And also where is the laundrette? I cannot picture either of them. As we are (hopefully) going for 11 days may need to do some laundry once we have slopped stifado everywhere!  :o

Have a good time-make sure you leave the sunshine behind for us-we go Monday week  ;D

Hope its not going to cost you to quarantine when you get back-if they bring in quarantine for England, we have to either take the quarantine as leave or lose 2 weeks wages -still worth it to be honest! Thanks for the tip about the air-con. As a laydee of a certain age I told DH we were having it but as I am currently sitting at my desk at work freezing my doo-dahs off maybe I won't need the air con after all.
Have a great time

They aren't saying we can't go, just that we need to quarantine on return so your insurance should be OK (I hope!) All this cos a load of teenagers can't keep it in their pants! >:(

We will go anyway and quarantine when we get back. I am prepared to lose 2 weeks wages if necessary. We have worked throughout the pandemic when many of my colleagues sat at home so I will have this holiday unless Greece declares US persona non grata!

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: Best Restaurant or Taverna
« on: September 01, 2020, 05:19:09 PM »
We never got into Manthos as there was no menu for us to peruse so we didn't bother!
Funnily enough we have similar issues at Waves-like the menu, love the location but there has always been one chap there who acts like he's doing us a big favour letting us eat there so we stopped bothering! So strange when everyone else welcomes us with open arms. Our faves would be ;

Olympia
Zorbas
Little Prince-Steve loves their sizzling steak, the dish you can wear as well as eat....
Brusko

Honourable mention to the bakery for their pain au chocolate-I don't know what sort of chocolate they use in them but it tastes like "Old Jamaica"....My favourite memories from last year were eating them for brekkie on the balcony overlooking the Vicky pool and the sea, and just thinking-"It doesn't get better than this"....
