Post by: hilary on March 15, 2014, 10:40:51 AM
Kali Mera !

My name is Hilary.

I have been connected to the wonderful resort of San Stefano for the past 20 years, and have lived here permanently for the last 10 of them.

I am very pleased to announce that I will be working with Noula at San Stefano Travel this summer.

Should anyone have any questions or queries relating to the village or surrounding areas I will be more than happy to try and answer them.

Happy Holidays  :) !!

Hi Hilary.  Apparently there used to be a boat trip down to Corfu Town and back, but it's no longer on your website.  Is it still available?

Thanks.

Hilary, looking forward to planning this year's trips. Last year most of our plans for boat trips were thwarted due to the dredging!

Please,please,please can you persuade Noula to include a coach trip to Afiones.Just leave us there for a couple of hours or so to have a meal and wander around. I haven't been for a few years now because it's too far for us to walk. Last time we booked a taxi to take us in the evening,we had our meal at Porto Timoni and the driver picked us up later.It was a lovely evening but the taxi fare was 70 euros,made it an expensive evening out.

I like the idea of a trip to Afionas perhaps coupled with St George, Pagi.  The issue though maybe with size of coach getting up into Afionas?  Not sure much more than a small minibus would be able to reverse in the square.

Lesley,I'm pretty sure I've seen a coach up there and turning round by the church,these modern coaches can turn on a sixpence.
 There is a school there so coaches probably take the children to school.

Afionas is always worth a trip.

A couple of years ago the taverna Porto Timoni in Afionas was mentioned in the Easyjet back of seat travel guide as a must visit when in Corfu.

If you feel your holiday is making you feel just a little too laid back and relaxed, and you want to get your life back into a state of high alert, take small children with you when you visit, and let them loose on the spectacular balcony over looking both bays!

Hope Konstantinos at Fantasea is back from his travels by the time you get there or you'll have to go to Beachcomber for your mussels.
 He's in New York just now and last year he didn't open till the beginning of June.

Could I please make a suggestion , how about a weekly minibus trip to Afionas . We could be dropped off , wander around the very pretty village have a leisurely lunch and be collected again later in the afternoon - just a thought !!!!

Hi Hilary, not sure if that was you we met last year when we stayed at Crystal Daisy Suite... was that you servicing the apartments?
If it was you took us to see the Blue Rose -- I was suffering from bad Arthritis - but I had a new hip 8 weeks ago and am much better now.
Linda had a major Operation yesterday and is in Hospital, but we should be clear to fly and arrive on the 17th June - and we will need a transfer booked.
I'll email next week details.
We have been going every year since 1983 and first met Noula, Paula and Marylyn as small girls.
We tried to book Noula again this year but couldn't work it out with good flight prices and my A/Leave from work, so not this time.
Is Sally still there?
Please pass to Noula - we'll see you all in June (Hopefully)
