San Stefanos news and views / Creperie

Does anyone know if that new creperie taverna is open this year?  It's next door to The Little Prince.  They were gorgeous last year.

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: Olympia Restaurant.

We ate at the Olympia tonight, the first time since 2017. Lyn had Sofrito and i had lamb with spinach and feta. Both meals were beautiful and the service was great. We will definitely go back.

Great restaurant with lovely staff.

Hi
We also arrived on Friday 13th from Manchester with TUI.
We bought fastrak tickets for security (£5 each) and were through in minutes.
The resort is much busier than last year.
We walked from our apartment at Paralia to Manthos on Saturday night (about 20 minutes walk) only to be asked if we had booked as they were full !!
Extremely hot here too x
I waved at the webcam on Saturday if anyone noticed xx
Well done for waving!

So update on the village. We arrived Monday on Jet2 flight from east mids via Birmingham, staying at wonderful Fedra Mare. Lead passenger tested at airport, took 10 mins. Went up to Romanza for dinner last night, they are filling up with TUI guests now,  20 out of 32 rooms occupied, and more arriving. Village is getting busier, beach really busy today. Leo water sports doing a trade and all Thomas boats out as I write. Manthos last night was full, we called in for night cap and he had to turn people away as full even with his extended dining area. Certainly got the food, service and location right. Lunch at Manthos today and Beachcomber tonight. Happy days. Brian
Brian, don't forget to give the Nafsika webcam a wave when you are leaving Fedra Mare and heading into the village.

If it helps anyone looking at booking flights and independent accommodation, the below list is correct as of 3 July for flights actually having landed at Corfu in the last 7 days. My theory being if they are flying now they are less likely to be pulled from the schedule in the future:
Gatwick:
Saturday - Easyjet
Monday -TUI and Easyjet
Friday - TUI

Heathrow:
Everyday - BA

Manchester:
Saturday - Easyjet
Sunday - Ryanair
Monday - TUI
Thursday - Ryanair
Friday - TUI

Birmingham:
Saturday - Ryanair
Tuesday - Ryanair
Thursday - Ryanair

Luton:
Saturday - Easyjet

East Mids:
Sunday - Ryanair
Thursday - Ryanair

Southend:
Sunday - Ryanair
Thursday - Ryanair

Liverpool:
Sunday - Ryanair
Thursday - Ryanair

Stansted:
Friday - Ryanair

Bristol:
Wednesday - Easyjet

Edinburgh:
Tuesday - Ryanair
I may have missed some Edinburgh flights in addition to the one above.
Cheers Baj.  Good work.

I read it a couple of pages back on this thread it was a comment made by Rod
I can confirm that The Little Prince is still closed.  On a brighter note there were loads of us in Yiannis Family Taverna last night.  The village is picking up.

Do we know if Glen is opening the aquarius bar enjoy a few drinks in there and Glen trying to sing
I spoke with Glen today and he's only been back in Corfu a couple of days.  He didn't sound positive on opening anytime soon.

Hi Rod, any idea when the Little Prince opens?
I spoke to Dimitri and Pippina last night.  The restaurant and bar are not opening this year.  He has four guests arriving next week so has to open the pool.  He's not a happy man.

Hi Rod
Hope you are having a fab time :) Is the Condor Bar not open ?
Look, is it on my list?  No.  So pay more attention.  Actually we were surprised that The Condor Bar wasn't open.  We spoke with the owner today and they indicated that it's not opening until Corfu turns "Green".

Hey I just realised you didn't say Little Prince or Thomas Bay open either ?
Both closed, as is Athina and Barras.

Hi I, was wondering exactly how busy the village is and what and what isn't actually open.
We are due to arrive on the 15th July and was wondering if it was going to be like last year which was very low key
Thanks
Glenn, let me tell you, if you thought last year was low key you should see the village now.  It's spookily quiet.  Through the day you hardly see a soul.  The beach today had about ten beds occupied.
However on an evening it is a little better.  I'll tell you what's open but even then just because they are open it still means they are only 20% full.
Manthos, Mistral, Waves, Mare Deus (Athens), Mango, Havana, Athens Bar, Hideout Bar, Bar 38, Silver Star, Australian Juice Bar, Casa Nostra (old Beer o clock).  Barras is opening on Saturday and all the supermarkets are open.  Hope this helps.
