San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

WOW !, apparently, a turtle has laid her eggs on the beach this week, the area has been roped off by the police. There is a video doing the rounds somewhere online, how amazing is that  .

We pay €60 and it is wonderful to collect the luggage walk out and get straight in a taxi and off to San Stef.
No waiting or hanging about and very welcome after the journey.
Coming home too not having to leave too early and hang around.
The journey is part of the holiday and money well spent for us.

Agree with you Maggie, we had to wait on another flight one time using TUI bus. Now we always use the new taxi service which I think is based in Arillas?. Yes its a lot of money, but like you, we think its worth the extra to get to our hotel earlier.

Thanks for the updates Lofty, safe trip back home  .

Agree Lofty, we spent a good few days on the beach in June, up near the Mango bar. The loungers there are more comfy than our bed at home. The beach has improved greatly, so much cleaner, and there was a digger there a few mornings, scooping away the dreaded seaweed. Vast improvement to previous visits, will be spending a lot more time there on our visit in September.

Stayed there in September last year, in a two bedroom apt. Fabulous views from the front, well cleaned too, and as Jimbo says, they are large with plenty cupboard space. The new studios are fabulous, had a peek in one in June, very very nice.

A little late review of the new "Manthos". Popped in for lunch one afternoon, only two tables occupied. The makeover is just ok, the atmosphere completely different, no traditional Greek music which Manthos loved to play, and the bar area now where the stage once was. Four guys waiting the tables, all chatting away to each other, oblivious to us sitting at our table. I approached the serving hatch to ask for a menu, they were pointed out to me on the counter, no words spoken. We eventually were asked for drinks, and at the same time ordered lunch. This arrived pretty quickly,and was very good, and a good plateful. The views remain the same, amazing, could sit here all day,with a cold beer and watch the world go by. Felt the staff were stand offish, no conversation at all with anyone there at that time, might go back in September, and hopefully feel more comfortable.

Fabulous views up there too Karen, over the village and the sunsets are amazing. Kostas and his sister Ioanna, offer good service, oh, and I believe the chef is the former chef from Manthos taverna.

I emailed Spiros asking him to show a bot of the pool by the bar - and he's done it!

Mega times better Jimbo, thanks for that sir
