:) Hi all
I am just wondering is the fact that we (my boyfriend and I ) have not hired a car due to the fact I am a baby of only 20 will there be enough things to do? I do love lounging by the pool but likewise I do enjoy a good explore. If you were choosing were would you choose as a top priority of somewere to visit?
Thanks

I would have thought that it will be fine.
If you want to get out and about there are lots of trips that you can take from San Stef travel. (at the T junction in the village) It really is up to you. I believe that most of us on here do a bit of wandering about but are mainly there for ss being so chilled and most of us have seen most of the island at some time.
I think that most people would suggest that you visit Corfu town ( possible by bus from ss travel or independently) and there are also coach tours or boat trips that cover the island. There are lots of people who stay in the village and don't leave it at all for the fortnight. Many would suggest that you see Paelocastritsa which is a bit more touristy but very pretty with impressive views from th evillages above and also Kassiopi is quaint too with a nice harbour and more shops than in ss. There are lots of boat trips to different islands
Even though there are several more mature members in this forum there are young people in the village and some often get together to go into Sidari at night if that is more your thing! (I can hear the shudders of most of us from here!)
I always plan to do a great deal more than i ever do. Days just drift past and by the end of the holiday I am very aware i haven't done much at all!
Browse the site and look at the suggestions from everyone.

I know this sounds realy sad and my mates tease me for it but I point blank do not like doing all nighters. I would rather go for a nice meal and have a chat. I also work with people who are a lot older than me. They youngest is the teacher in the next door class who is 30.

Here is a Corfu bus timetable. Not sure how up to date it is but from my experience it has never changed.

Sorry - Stressed, I forgot your name again - what is it? - (What do you mean take the tablets)!
Listen Madam - I (and of course a few others - especially Don), may be on record as being of a certain age,
But I am very young minded, youthful looking for my age and fun to be with - with a wickedly fun sense of humour,
- - did I mention Modest??
Anyway - what I am trying to say is some people I meet are much younger, but act like boring old farts in their eighties,
while I still like Dancing and having fun.
(Yes we can dance most stuff - also Love Salsa/Ceroc/Latin without looking like Grannies/Grandads or Dinner Ladies on the dance floor)
No I don't do the all-nighters like my son, but we are always open minded! - good got that off the chest as well!!
So MissH - you sound just like us - - head for - and check out the Condor, Athens Bar, Bar 38 etc,
after your meal & chat, and you won't get too bored on a quiet night!! Join in the fun, have a dance etc.
Daytimes - take the Boat trip to paleo - or any of the Boat BBQ trips - all good fun.
Explore Corfu Town and walk up the Fort to the top for a brilliant time and great view!!
Check out whats on offer and you will find there's lots to do as well as chillin' out!!
Go for a Horse ride as well!! Have a good time - Tony

My comment was meant in a light hearted vein. I was paying heed to the fact that the question was being asked very genuinely by a twenty year old and, having twenty two year old twins and a twenty five year old son i am aware that although I love a good time and thoroughly enjoy myself in all sorts of ways (not dancing alas... 2 left feet!) there are sometimes differences in our leisure time and choices and,in my case at least ... stamina!
So, sir (and the name is Lynn) I did not mean to seriously imply that the site had its share of old fogies or cast aspertions in any way shape or form.
Pax??

The above suits San Stef visitors down to the ground. You will fit in perfectly. ;) :)

Neither as child or adult have I sat in the drivers seat of a vehicle. I was told I could have a cortisone injection but I'm not interested in that Italian rubbish!

There will not be any bother not having a car as everywhere in the village is walkable. If you want to go out anywhere there are buses or trips out with SS travel

Yes - everything centre, is within a 10 min walk from the extremes of the village.

only thing i would say no chemist so take a few things with you we looked for painkillers but they cant sell them in supermarkets but the lady gave us some
-
Thanks for that everyone.
I must remeber the paracetamol and plasters then.

Also take an anti-bite in case you pick up a mozzie bite - works so well!!
Also take a proper sunburn cream like Acriflex - just in case!!
P20 suntan cream will keep you safe from burning all day long - there is a discussion on this on the site!!
But don't worry - there is a good chemist - 15 mins drive away in sidari.
Last year I hired a quad bike for 1 hour to go, or pop up and back on the local bus service - just check times!!
-
tony you sounded a bit like my mum ;D but thanks for the info, I always use at leaste factor 25 on holiday as I do go a lovly lobster colour. I also use a pug in mozzie repelant as the sprays make me itch.
-
Corfu Town is ideal but go early as they siesta likes most Europeans, whilst there do go to the forts, they are both worth a visit don't forget to wear shoes that you can climb in as they are hilly.The buses get quite busy so if you were thinking of going in the car head down past Gouvia and take the port road there is a large car park on the port for a few euros but again get there early.
PS The Liston is very expensive to eat or drink in so head further in for other eateries at a reasonable price
Wish I was there. :)
-
don't we all joan?! but we will all be ther before too long! see you there!
