6 weeks this fri and we'll be on our way! 4th time on the trot and the 5th in total.. AND this year my mother is coming lol... She's become so intrigued that I keep coming back to san stefinos every year that she asked if we'd mind if she came with us this year! So she'll be with us (and probably treating us to a meal or 2 at delfino) :D we're staying at stamatis this year.. We tend to stay somewhere diff each year.. So I'm hoping it will be ok. I'm sure it will.. It always feels like coming home the minute you drive into the village... If anyone else is staying at stamatis from July 4th give me a shout and we'll say hello..

Welcome to the forums crsfaz. You do realise your Mother will be wanting to go with you every year now after this one lol!!!. As you know she will have a great time and will be hooked by the friendliness and loveliness of the village
-
This will also be our fifth time "on the trot". There's something magical about the place. This has been discussed many times on this forum but I never tire of reading other peoples take on the place. Jules is right crsfaz, your mother will be hooked. Welcome to the forum, use it wisely. ;)

Welcome to the forum! We will also be staying at Stamatis from 27th June for 2 weeks. This will be our 9th visit, we love it there. Tom (owner) is very friendly and helpful if you have any concerns. We hope you enjoy it there, as we have over the years. We will look out for you. We are the one's who don't rise until about 11am and make our way to the beach (hubby carries a big rucksack!). :) Karen & John
-
Great pool there, complete with a diving board at one end, and a child friendly area at the other. Never overly busy either. I'll spend some time and money there this year as usual.
-
Yep,it a nice pool area and kept very clean and tidy.serve nice food also.we usually call in at lunch time and enjoy the comfy seats with a beer and a tuna salad.

Ah thanks for the forum welcome guys.. As for my mother, there is the possibility that she'll get hooked.. As I did at the tender age of 37.. BUT it doesn't Necessarily mean she has to come with myself and my wife each year.. Does it!? Haha... She's welcome to, she's still a good laugh.. :) and stamatis sounds ok thanks for the feed back.. I'm never really worried about where I stay tho, as you guys know it's about the place!! As you know I'm a real newbie on here.. But if any of you guys are there same time as us (4th July for 2 wk) then by all means say hi, I'll be the one desperately trying to explain to his mother that she can come here anytime during the season and it doesn't have to be at the same time as me haha .. ;-))

Oooh, we fly out 6 weeks on Friday too!! It's our first visit to SS but 4th visit to Corfu. We're staying at Tsaros. I'm loving this forum and the Facebook page! Getting lots of info about the best places to eat (I love food!) and getting to know lots of the regulars! Hope to say "hi" to some of you when we're there! ;)

My Mother got hooked! She was 100 years old when she enjoyed her last holiday in San Stefanos.She was an amazing lady,always happy,and she loved the people of San Stefanos and they loved her.

Nice one, we stayed at Tsaros the year before last, amazing views from the above the bar area and only a short walk to the top of the hill and over to arillas and breathtaking views!! :-) hope yr not adverse to steep hills tho as Tsaros is a steep climb, didn't bother us and I loved being close to the top.. Don't really want to wish my life away but..... ROLL on July 4th!! :-D
-
40 days for us, 3rd visit to SS. Have previously stayed in Arillas 3 times as well. We have visited a number of other Greek islands which we enjoyed but seemed to have settled on SS for a totally relaxing holiday, good food and friendly locals. Enjoy our walks up to Akrotiri and on to Arillas for a meal in Brouklis. Never had a bad meal in either SS or Arillas.

Oh I've been hearing about Cardiac Hill! I must say, it kind of put me off when I first heard about it but not bothered now as I've heard great reviews of Tsaros! Have been in training at the gym for the last couple of months anyway so should be able to cope fine, lol! We'll be wearing our stickers so look out for us! There's me (43), hubby (45) and daughter (12)! ROLL on July 4th!! ;D

It's very steep but only 50 yards from the bottom to the bar area. Thanassis also sells 6 packs of water to save you lugging it up the hill.
Nice spacious balconies and a lovely pool

Hi , new on here but not to San Stephanos :). I have used the site to get updates, everyone seems so friendly so I plucked up the courage to join in. This year will be our 4th visit and we (me, hubby, daughter 15 and son 13) can't wait to return. Manage to make it back every couple of years since the children were small. Have stayed at the Tsaros . Lovely, friendly spacious apartment with fantastic view over the bay and lemon trees outside the back balcony-bliss. The hill is steep just take your time, you get used to it and can always drop in for a dip in the pool and a restorative if needed. Other times we stayed at the Rose Gardens and that's where we are this year. Will be our third visit there.
-
Welcome to the forum amanda j. The people on here are very informative and friendly. The wife and I are also staying at the Rose Garden this year for the first time. Do they have safety deposit boxes?
-
Hi Rod, They had them in the rooms last time we were there. There was a small additional cost - about the same as renting one in the village :)
-
Thanks amanda j.

Can now say: I'm going on holiday NEXT month! Yeah!!

3 weeks for us (just Over anyway) ♡ ;D
-
20 days to go and starting to sort holiday clothes out. This year the Thomas Cook flight is much better leaving Glasgow at 9AM so hopefully at Mythos Apartments by 3.30 PM and having first refreshment soon after. May try to get a booking at Ozzy Oils for Tuesday BBQ and quiz if not fully booked. Looking forward to eating at our favourites Beachcomer, Nafsika, Olympia, Ozzy Oils and Waves amongst others. Need to try Fantasea which was not open I don't believe when we were there last year.
Looking forward to "chilling" out once again in one of the most friendliest villages
-
5 weeks Friday 5am flight from Bristol. Should be having a beer and one of Hari's brilliant tuna salads by midday. Thank god the world cup's starting as I don't think I could stand the wait.
-
Two weeks on Monday for us, we were not going to go this year until I had a look on Thomsons web site and found two weeks at Barras for a great price, booked it there and then.
This is the fourth year running that we have been to San Stefanos, the first year we stayed at Thomas Bay, then twice at the Athina which we loved.
With Barras being self catering we can eat out every night this time.
-
They changed my husband's shut down weeks this year so we have even longer to wait - 60 days - we fly there on the day we came home last year but I suppose the holiday will be just starting this year as it finished last year!! Now is that a good thing I wonder?
-
1 and a half days ;D.Have so looked forward to this trip,it is an incredible feeling to know that we will be there soon,soooo love the place and its people.
