San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

while over there for carnival, i heard there is to be a new restaurant in the village. the site is the old bar 38 place, its going to be a chinese.

i know this causes a big divide with some people saying you go to greece to eat greek food, yes i agree and i love the greek food, however we all enjoy a chinese at home now and then so whats the difference when there, personally i think it will be nice to have another option. And its good that the building not staying empty, and someone is having a go at something different, so i for one will be trying it out.

Hi guys,

on this one occasion we are going with Thomas Cook and not our preferred Portland - the flights are through the night both ways.

I wondered if anyone else has been at Corfu airport during the night ie about 3am !!!

Will the duty free shop be open and will we be able to get a coffee ??

Cheers

well guys, back home 

First of all, it is still the same wonderful, laidback, sunny place that we all love so much.

There are a couple of new things going on :

MYTHICA =  my good friends Jenny & Leo (from Romanza) opened their new restaurant. Located to the left at junction and virtually opposite Yiannis Grill. A pure delight, gorgeous food served with fresh vegetables instead of rice or chips. Good home cooking with an extensive choice and is no more expensive than any other restaurant. A touch of class. Do visit them and tell them Sarah sent you !!


MAMA MIA- opening night is monday 25th May. Pavlos from Zorbas, and is next door to Zorbas. the old Mexican. He has been working very hard the whole time i was there to get it up and running. Looks very nice and am sure it will be of the high standard that is Zorbas.

UN-NAMED AS YET - small bar right next door to SAN STEF Travel. looks like it will be a nice place to chill and watch the world go by. looks very close to finishing.


Well it has been a strange start to the season, most places are booked up, but there never seems to be many about at night. The locals are worried that people are not going out spending in evenings. There is some concern there for survival this season, so come on guys go spend some money. Also the sunbeds did not appear on the beach until the 16th may, this was due to some auction for the pitches on the beach and some arguements, why not do that in the winter then ?

Weather has been great for May, we had a couple of cloudy days but they were still hot, as we did the marathon walk to Avliotes and back !!!!

As usual have been greeted back by all our Greek friends and treated like royalty, and have once again met some lovely people, also met people who stayed at Teresa when we did last year. So all in all it has been a great fortnight, and now we are dying to go back again.

If anyone wants to ask anything please feel free, am sure i can help out with any queries.
