We met some people (Ian & Julie from Norfolk), in Dalyan last year, Dalyan being a touch similar to SS, They were return Dalyan visitors!
I Got a surprise email today from them today from the Barras - -
I will copy/paste it below for you to read - I think it's really nice!!
a special hi to you tony and linda and A BIG THANK YOU FOR RECCOMMENDING THIS SUPER PLACE!! soon be your turn!
hi everyone. we are in barras appartments in centre of village on a junction. its great, we can lie near pool people watching! we HAVE been energetic too - saturday (or was it sunday, too much oozo dulling the senses) walked uphill to next little village slightly inland. about 5k, also been to a gym in another hotel. hired a car for 2 days, visited agios georgios.
You went with some of your children - remember?
ian recognised the waiter in the alkyon. place is run down now. also drove to ag. gordis - our honeymoon place - this is tourist/pricey - found the lil footpath where ian and some woman we had met went scrumping for grapes 3 am! needless to say they were caught in the act!!??? roads are still as they were in 1991 patchwork of potholes/repairs and grit. drove to the highest point on corfu and along the north coast lovely. we will go for walk later today, white cliffs in distance look inviting. Think we are the only people that have not been here b4. THAT SAYS IT ALL, IT REALLY IS UPSPOILT compared with other places we saw in car.
Food of course is still bril we are sticking to the 'specials' so we can taste all there is on offer! hope all is ok with everyone love you lots julie (im sure ian sends his love - he's reading/asleep? on a sunbed - i just had to get out of the sun for a few mins!!
Love Julie xxxxx
AAAAAAAHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!!!! so nice!!

Just a thought - If anyone can spot them in the Barras this week (DeeMac for instance) say hello and shock them!!!
They would love it!! LOL!!! They usually like to stay by the pool!!
Just shout "IAN" or "JULIE" 40's couple - Ian a bit thin on top!!

If anyone going to Aquarius shout Di & Phil two friends of ours. They couldn't book their regular Cyprus hotel a few years ago. I suggested the Athina even though we'd never stopped there. They now go twice a year.

it seems we are all suggesting san stef! We too have three lots of friends going this year. Nice to be able to recommend a place so wholeheartedly!

Really think we should keep it our little secret ;D

"Julie made a comment about your photo album "San Stefanos Old Pictures Vol 1":
"only been back a few hours and i'm missing san stefanos so much! everything about our week was great. what a lovely place, great people, scenery, meals - esp.the food in 2 stars!!!, dancing in the little prince, walk to aviotas, on the headfland overlooking arrillas, laid back atmosphere, friendliness,beach, could go on for ages! ian and i realised we rode a motorbike up to afionas years ago. so pleased we have found another little bit of 'typical greece' THANKS TONY AND LINDA"

It's one of my favourite places, great food - good prices!!
Great service as well!!

2 Stars brill!
How come it's easier to say places are good in SS than not so good?
The answers quite simple really - they ARE all good!
2 Stars a brill little place. Great breakfast to finish off a great night! Oops, too much information.

I really didnt have 1 bad meal the whole week i was there ,I know everyone says the same thing and ive found out why,The 2 best places that stood out for us were the 2 stars and the little prince seafood platter was perfect.
-
Some places seem to be under rated when they all have there own good qualities.

I think the 2Stars has to be best value and food overall, by a whisker!!
