[/quote] Thanks Gav,that brought back some happy memories of a much quieter San Stefanos when the entertainment,such as it was,was in the old part of the village and the beach wasn't cluttered up with rows of sunbeds.

We booked our outgoing flights for next September back in October as soon as the flights came on the Easyjet website believing that you have to get in early to get the cheapest fares. On checking today I find that the price is virtually the same as it was on the day we booked although it fluctuated up and down,mostly up,for the first few days when the flights first became available,so I'm not rushing to book the return flights yet,who knows they may have a sale after Christmas.

the delay is sometimes due to them a/w the air traffic control slots.
i got impatient and booked my Bristol to Faro flights ( plus the return) the other day - ideally i wanted to return on Mon 15 Sept but instead am coming back on ths Sunday 14th.

By booking the outgoing flight and waiting for the return dont you end up paying 2 lots of baggage costs?

Baggage costs £20 one way and £34 return so only £6 difference and you probably save more than that by booking early.

I would need a car or a lift, as it would be far too long to wait for the return bus.  Much as I love the walk back (and have done it many times) I am not capable of doing it now

Bee,in September we caught the 11.15 bus to Avliotes,cost 1.50 Euros,Popped into Ilias for an iced tea and said we would be coming back for lunch.We then set off for a stroll around the village,even climbed up to the church,not for the faint hearted as the hill is very steep.
 We then returned to Ilias for a leisurely lunch and caught the 3.30 bus back to San Stefanos and the time just flew by.

am trying to find out name of apartments that are past the church on the way to the harbour just before quietude villa. last time i was in san stef in 2011 they had green shutters. can anyone help please

As far as I know they are still called Limani and they belong to Nikos at Fantasea or Golden Beach as it was once known.

If you still want to express your opinion on this subject I believe you can if you go on to the Green Corfu website mentioned in Splutface's post

 We also enjoyed a meal with Tony Cox and Linda when we were there in September and did catch a quick glimpse of you and your lovely wife
  when you were dining with them at Fantasea.Unfortunately didn't have time to stop and chat as we were just saying our goobyes to
 Konstantinos before meeting friends at Manthos.You know what it's like on your last evening got to do the rounds.
