San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

It's up the hill towards the harbour past Nafsika and Manthos.

Definitely the best issue so far. Very well done, Cerys!

I think I saw one three years go.

If I went into the sea with loftyscot and it was up to his waist, I'd drown.

Yes - sand at certain points will be lower. But it will be higher elsewhere. The sea can't destroy the sand - it's a billion dumper trucks shovelling it from here to there.

Nice description here:

A search shows that it's quite complicated. Is it using Little Planet (Lithuanian) planes? Is it using (Italian) Meridiana planes?

Most importantly, is it ATOL certified? Some web posts suggest that it's not. They may be right or wrong.

I would absolutely require ATOL before buying a flight.

San Steph beach will have been around since the last Ice Age

Tony Cox has got pictures to prove it!

Sand acts like a fluid, so it washes around. Heavy storm surges from the north east will move the sand from the shore region down to the south and around the harbours.

The gentler action in the summer moves the sand towards the beach, and creates the "lagoon" with one or two sand-bars farther out. But a quick summer storm will shrink the beach.

Spurn Head, near where we live on the Humber, has come and gone for a very long time because of similar action.

The beach is a living and wonderful thing at Ag Stef. Without these tides and wind, life couldn't exist, and there wouldn't be any sand, no tavernas, and a severe lack of Mythos!

Yammas to the beach. :-)

You will get a big hug when you return. You'll soon be part of the family.
