Post by: Belgianram on May 28, 2009, 10:25:15 PM
New member to the forum, so go easy on me!!  ;)
I'm off to San Stefanos on the 3rd of July (day before my birthday) and am staying in the Mythos apartments.
I've noticed a thread on the apartments, but it appears that nobody has actually stayed there?!  ???
Just wanted to know more thoughts and opinions on the place if possible?

Also, I'm looking at airport transfers and the best price I've been quoted so far is £25 per person for both legs, does anyone know if this can be beaten?

Cheers.

P.S great site!!  8)

How many of you? We are paying €53 each way. We have booked through Noula at San Stefanos Travel. Always use her service and have to say it has always been impressive.

hi belgianram and welcome

if that price is for two off you snatch their hands of as the normal price is £45 for one leg we pay about 90euro for a minibus also per leg

don may have a better price as he transports all sorts of things think he gets it cheaper as no heavy wallet to get to san steph (lol mate)
chris  

7 days till ss

Me and the better half.
The best so far is from Holidaytaxis.com, don't think I'll beat that to be honest.

Yes Chris, it is on the shuttle bus. I think I've been lucky using holiday taxis in the past as always had a taxi with just the two of us.

San Stefanos will amaze you with its lovely beach and friendly people. All the tavernas and shops are great. The village is not over built and is a relaxful place to be. You will love it.

http://www.holidays-uncovered.co.uk/greece/corfu/san-stefanos.html?gclid=CK6S-8bt35oCFQMFZgodCh-Zyg

It says something when 100% of reviewers would recommend the place!

It definitely does. We only booked it by pure chance the first time we went and fell in love with it. In those days we didn't have internet at home so we couldn't do any research on SS. When we first arrived we thought we had landed in paradise lol!!

Good to hear Don!  8)
Not too bothered about there not being a bar at the apartments, I want a nice peaceful, relaxing time and if there was a bar - I'd probably in it until they kick me out!  ;D
We aren't with a tour operator as such, but we fly with Thomas Cook and had a person in the know book the apartments for us.

Chocolate bars in the fridge. Although I'm a bit of a chocoholic for some reason I just don't miss it on holiday. I think its because I hate getting melted chocolate all over my fingers. lol!

It's a bit of a standing joke with Aristoula as we told her she needed to have more snacks for the kids to eat i.e choc, crisps, etc so they did,t keep running down to Georges supermarket of 2 sisters. That way Arisitouls could make a little more profit.
Turns out the choc she bought when were there last year never got sold, so I am in big trouble.
