San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

We just got back last night (16th) from SS.  Was pretty shocked about the beach - we went last in 2008.  It felt totally different - as people have said SIGNIFICANTALLY narrower by the Athina and all along there - the football pitch seems reduced buy the Havana Bar.  It's funny really, the sand has banked up at the back and we always got to the end of the sunbeds before the nudist beach and the past two weeks this was the busiest end.  This has really changed - the beach is flat and spread out more and by the nudist bit it is much wider - it's possible now to sunbathe on the beach to the furthest point around the headland - the rocks etc have gone and the sand flattened out. Seems to have been really cleaned and sorted out. So, in essence, the beach is thinner but spreads out more to the very end cliff (which used to be unreachable).  The beach feels a bit more crowded as not as many people around the Manthos, Waves and Athina end - they have just spread out further along - but in reality it is still comfortable on the beds - there is plenty of space around you.  Abou 300 yards out into the sea is a large sandbank and also there are pools of water (like little ponds) before the seashore ALL along the beach now not just one at the nudist end.  You ahve to wade a very long way out to get any sort of deep water. The beach is still good though and the last few days when the weather became SCORCHIO the sea was just still and turquoise and warm as a bath - FANTASTIC!

After just booking the Perros for enxt friday we were very impressed that transfer to and from the airport are included.  Worth at LEAST £80

Thanks Madge for that great write up.  Have been looking at Mythos since they were only with Corfu Escape and have always wondered about them - they look fab with super bathrooms etc.  However that would be a big NO NO for me with the ac - I teach so only have school holidays and NEED it, got to the point where we don't look at anything wihtout air con, so thanks Madge for the nudge there.  What a shame - lets hope it get sorted.  Am determined to stay at the Perros - reviews are so good and they are so helpful, so will be a first for us as we have always stayed in the old part of the Village (love the Nafsika).  Just love SS actually................lovely place.  is the beach sorted out now?

Looked on the Amazon Link and it isn't covered by the free postage - it is still £6 plus postage - nevr heard of the cream - is it good?  Do you still get a good tan?

Hi stressed056
Was interesting to see you go at half term - have often wondered about doing it - as I can only have school holidays but didn't want to go and there be a sort of 'closed down' feeling. Does it get cold at night and where do you usualy stay then?  What places are still sort of lively? Have only been in the height of summer - so would love to experience it differently - is the sea cold then? Any mor einfo would be fab!  Thank you

Thank you waspman - brilliant directions!

Wonderful - brings back happy memories!  I remember watching the guy paint those murals on the columns you can see in the video - think that was in 2004
