San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Beachcomber and Olympia are my favorites, I use to love the Olive Press but alas it is no more. Roll on summer so we can enjoy the wonderful meals served at some great taverna's. Off to Spain tomorrow for some Winter sunshine,well at least I hope so!

We don't really care for football and we don't watch TV when we are on holiday although we would join in and watch if England or Greece were playing but I would not like to have to sit through all the matches that are screened especially at the bar of the apartments that we will be staying at tbh, much prefer listening to music whilst enjoying a night cap or two. However there are enough bars/taverna's for each and everyone of us to do what we enjoy doing whether it be watching football or listening to music!

Hi Lilly. We have used Ryan Air over a dozen times and I have never had a flight cancelled. They did change their flight times last year to Corfu but it was a few months before we were flying. Most of the flight we have been on are early morning.
It is only costing us £360 return from Edinburgh for the two of us next year whereas Thomsons flight price is £1050!! These prices for both airlines do not include paying extra for luggage.
They don't do holidays, we book our accommodation  independently.
People moan about Ryan Air but the bottom line is they are cheap, and we have almost always had our flights on time.

Hi Jaxbubbles and thank you very much for the info, it is reassuring to know. How many hours did they change your flight time by? We are also booking independently again. The flight that we are looking at is early morning also which appeals to us. Even with the luggage it still works out a lot cheaper than Thomsons etc plus you get 10kg carry on luggage too.
Why do people moan about them, is there a common theme in the complaints?

Flight prices seem very cheap but the flight times from Manchester put us off, we wouldn't arrive in resort until turned midnight and flight home not until 2330 hours so willing to pay extra for better flight times, would have been great if flight times were better.

Excellent review Kernowfox. We also walked over to Ariilas a few times earlier this year for lunch. We also walked to Afonias, Peroulades and Agios Georgios North. Wow did you really walk to St George South or did you mean Agios Georgios North via Arillas, St Georges South seems too far to walk to from Sans Stefanos but if you did manage it how long did it take you?

I have never posted on this or any other forum.  As I said in my original post it has never been a problem in the past, only this year.

See my post on the Delfino Blue topic and you will see how much I love Greece and San Stefanos.

Sadly this will be my last post as I dislike the 'gang' mentality I have encountered here.

WinJ, You voiced your opinion on something and in response other people gave their opinion which in the main was different to your opinion this does not mean that there is a gang culture it just means that for most people the subject is not an issue, I think maybe that this came has a surprise to you. If everyone had agreed with you then I am sure that you would have posted again. At least people have been honest in their responses which I think means far more than skirting around something and not saying what they really feel.
Some things in life really don't matter so much in the grand scale of things.

Yammas.

As you say common sense and tolerance should be expected anywhere not just in Greece.  Would you be happy to have your evening meal sitting next to a shirtless smelly person.  I don't think so.

Why not just enjoy your holiday and try not to concentrate on what the person at the next table is doing, sometimes it is very easy to become fixated on something that it almosts becomes an habit and dare I say a talking point instead of enjoying conversation/time with partners/husbands/wives etc. Greece is Greece and we cannot expect them to change, I am sure they have more important things to think about at the moment!
Personally I hate the smell of TCP which some people of a certain age seem to use has Eau de Parfum, in some of the taverna's this year the smell was overpowering but I accept that people have the right to dab it freely, it is their choice which I accept in fact even the smelly shirtless smelly person also has the right to dine where he/she chooses to do so along with the tattooed man, the scowling person who stares at you throughout the meal, those who like to chew with their mouths open displaying the contents of their meal, there are many off putting things when you think about it but for me personally I try not to think about it as I am having so much fun.
