i used to have a tape called..Play Bouziki  but broke over time.bought it from pelie&Marias.Dont see the music on cd much now.
They sell CDs at Corfu airport if you can't find them in the village,but if you really can't wait and you need your Bouzouki fix now,
 Amazon sell Greek CDs.

 Haven't looked at a Thomson's brochure for years but have just had a look on line at their prices for next June and I don't think there is much difference in the cost of going with them or going independently.We always make our own arrangements and stay in the same apartments in the
old part of the village where it's quiet.
Our first visit in 1987 was with Thomson and we stayed at Romanza when it was just apartments,a couple of times after that we stayed at Tsaros,
also with Thomsons. Nikos used to collect us outside Nafsica in his little old pick up truck,we had to sit in the front and hold the door closed in case we fell out.
After that,having made friends with many people in San Stef, we decided to do it ourselves.
I don't think I could go back to Thomsons now and that coach journey from the airport , the reps and those "welcome meetings".

 We always go independently but I'm interested to know what Thomsons pay owners on average for apartments.

I think Woodman meant Beachcomber! !

One place we didnt even consider taking ours. Not because of the restaurant reception to him but more because it looks spectacular and I wouldn't want him being a little boy to encroach on others special meal
Gav,I have known Sue for 25 years and she is one of the friendliest, most down to earth people you could wish to meet.
She designed the decor in the restaurant and she is a lady with good taste.She wanted something a bit different from the usual paper napkins
and table covers and cheap chairs and tables,she did it her way and she did it well,but don't be put off by all that you will be welcome with your little boy and if he gets restless you can always give him a run up and down the beach.

14th time! Wow em202!
This is my first visit but it's good to read that people frequently return, says a lot.  :)
I've been trying to calculate how many times we have visited San Stefanos since 1987 but I lost count at 50!

I notice that people seem to be following the entertainment, basicaly going where ever there is a show, wether it be a Tribute act, band ect.
So to me it seems that most people are looking for entertainment.
I don't think the bars would go through the effort of finding and paying for entertainment if they felt it unnecessary. But unfortunately if they see that it works they will do it as it seems that people enjoy it because without entertainment most of the bars are empty unless they have karaoke or a quiz which also seems to be very popular.
Overall they are not charging to watch the shows yet they are paying for them and i'm sure there not all cheap, they are offering them for free. You actualy have to pay to see a Tribute act in the UK.
The bars don't put entertainment every night so there is always a place for everyone to go, if you don't like Tributes just avoid them when they are on.
I have never seen a tribute act,but then I wouldn't go to see the real Lady Ga Ga,Beyonce etc.but I realise some people enjoy them.
 Many of you will remember years ago when the main entertainment of the week was Party Night at one or other of the old Tavernas.
 Traditional dancers in traditional dress and you had to book a table in advance because they were so popular.But the real highlight of the night was   when the local "boys" arrived (Captain Nikos,Leon etc), the evening really took off when they started dancing,Magic! I wonder if the present generation of young men have the same interest in dance or is this a tradition that will die out,I hope not.

 The cheese pie is delicious as well and the feta cheese in the oven with tomato and hot pepper,in fact all of Manthos food is excellent.

I wish Noula would organise a couple of trips to Afiones.A morning trip would give you time to amble round the village and take in the views,have lunch
and return to San Stefanos in the afternoon.An evening excursion would also be lovely,watching the sun go down and the lights come on around
St George's Bay while enjoying an evening meal.
It's too far for us to walk there now,we've been by taxi but it works out expensive.
Come on Noula how about adding that to your itinerary I'm sure you would get plenty of interest.

You're right the sun sets at 7.30pm at the end of September but you don't want to get there just as it disappears over the horizon.
