San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Thanks terry. Really looking forward to going. Have all the apartments got a balcony  or terrace if on ground floor?x

Hi all,
Long time no see if anyone remembers me from 2008 when I last posted on the forum.
Did'nt get to go to SS last year or anywhere else for that matter, problem after problem but that is life I suppose.
Anyway, thinking of booking Tsaros and I realise it is up an hill[hopefully will survive it] but can anyone tell me if the rooms have safes, or maybe they are at reception? I hope so, don't fancy carrying our money around around all day.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Don & Terry, it seems we are all thinking the same thing!

Packings all done - should just be under the allowed 40 kilos overall for the 2 of us. Roll on Friday flight at 13.25pm from Manchester

Our packing is all done and we don't fly out from manchester until 12th September 1325pm...but soooooooooo excited. If weather is nice tomorrow we are going to go and watch the planes taking off from manchester to get us in the holiday mood!
I booked an extra 5kg of luggage allowance after getting stung last year at Manchester, I weighed myself yesterday then picked up the cases and we are 2kg's under so should be ok.

The Athina pool bar sells Corfu scoop ice-cream if you can face grumpy old Costas serving you.

You can have it as a cone or a tub and with sauce 

There are loads of different flavours - banana, tiramisu, cookie dough, yoghurt and honey, coffee, strawberry to name but a few!

It costs 1 euro a scoop.

Mmm banana is my favourite, I could just eat one now......

Unfortunately they don't sell rum and raisin which is my all time favourite.

We are staying at the Athina 12th September, do you think I will succeed in making this Costas guy smile?

only three weeks on friday until we get to find out how great san stef is. everybody makes it sound so wonderful. can't wait to get there. sue c.

I remember you saying that you will be staying at the Athina[so are we] in September. Let me know what it was like when you get back.

8 days and counting! I am staying in Pagi, but hope to spend most of the time in San Stef. First visit, anyone got any info about Pagi and Agios Georgios?

We stayed in AG in 2006 at the costas golden beach hotel, the resort & hotel were lovely. AG has a beautiful beach & lots of nice places to eat out, it is a very chilled out resort. We hired a quad bike so we could see more of the island.
We also visited Pagi twice, it is a very small village with friendly locals[be early for the fresh bread at the bakery because it soon sells out]. We got talking to a man of 89 years[Alan] who had moved to Pagi a couple of years ago to be near his family, he always sits with his dog outside the bar which was made famous by a James Bond film[ there are only a couple of bars opposite each other so you will easily find them and it was only 80 cents for a glass of wine] The walk on the road from Pagi to Aghios G[downhill] takes about 30-40 minutes depending on how fast that you walk, don't make the mistake that we made which was to try and cut through the olive groves back to AG, we got lost and it took us 2 hours to get back to AG[make sure you get a map]. We also went one evening to Pagi to a summer festival[6th August that year] which was a good evening. I am not sure if there are any buses from Pagi to AG, we always walked & I don't recall seeing any buses.
You have chosen a lovely & friendly place to enjoy your holiday.
We are giving San Stefanos a try this year, 52 days to go!
