Thank you everyone, we would rather not be looking at the cost all the time, but with a son at uni, costing us a blooming fortune, money isn't as plentiful as it could be!
However we will be taking your advice of €100 a day between us, what we don't use, we will add to the next day and so on. We will pay for our car hire by credit card and if we see anything we really want to buy, the credit card will be used.
So looking forward to this trip though, so much crap in our lives, we need a break.

Thank you everyone for your honest answers. It seems we may have to rethink our plans.

As it is 11 years since we last visited and not sure if we were using euros back then, can someone give me an idea of how much we may need to survive! We are on B&B basis, so will need a snack for lunch (meze) and a meal in the evening. We will need to buy fuel for the car and maybe the odd present to bring home.

I was looking at £50 a day (approx 60 euros) - do you think this would cover the 2 of us adequately?

If someone could give me a rough idea of costs of things I would be grateful.

Thank you everyone - we are down to 6.5 weeks till we go and I am getting really excited. We have hired a car for the duration and like others have just got up and driven, round the coastline, stopping to admire views. I think we will do much the same this trip and see where the car takes us.

Thanks BarbaraG, we have decided to do just that as it will show us if we want to go back and spend more time there. I have been having fun looking at photos from 2003 when we were there last and I am getting excited about going again.

Thank you Waspman. Oh well it will be exciting going back.

I am beginning to get excited and am working out places to go, that we did not do with our son in tow.

We would like to go to the Achillieon Palace for sure. We have been to Mouse Island, Monastry in Paleokastrisa, and swum in the pool at Belle Vista. We did drive up the mountain and have eaten at the Agni restaurant a few times.

We would also like to spend a day/evening in Corfu Town, any opinions on how and where to park a hire car?

Thank you so much.

Thank you guys for replying.

I have a photo of a guy called Leo who worked the bar when we were last there. I wonder if it is the same Leo.

We have only been in August before, so looking forward to experiencing a different season.

I have uploaded a picture here.

Hallo guys - I am new to this site, but not to San Stefanos.

We first visited in 1999 and again in 2003, both times staying at The Romanza Hotel. We loved the hotel and the area.

So we are returning in May this year, without our son who is now 20 and at uni. We are again staying at The Romanza and we are really looking forward to it. I have found out that one of our favourite restaurants in Arillas is no longer there.

How much difference are we likely to notice in the 11 year gap?

What will the weather be like the middle 2 weeks of May?

We will have a car and we would like to see more places - Lake Korrison, is it worth the drive, will we see many birds / wild or spring flowers? If not is there anywhere that you recommend? I am not able to walk far, so it would have to be accessible by car.

Thanks for your help.
