On one occasion I "forgot" to tell my gf I was going on holiday to SS. I did of course eventually tell her I was going (I asked her for a lift to the airport) on holiday. Strange to report that there was no lift and she is now an ex gf! Women, just can't undertstand them.

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.

Thanks Don its always a bit of a worry going on holiday to somewhere we have not been,but from all the reviews on the forum cant belive we hav'nt stayed in ss before now.Reading bits from the forum it seems such a shame that Leo and Jenny have left the Romanza, but we will be giving the Mythica a try.How long have you been going to ss, have things changed?
First stayed in SS in 2001 (only halfway up the hill to Romanza) and used to look down at the village and at opposite hill and thought the place was special. Then throw the warm, friendly and genuine locals into the mix and it becomes really special. Previously, I couldn't understand going to the same place on holiday when there're so many other places to visit, but then I found SS.
  When we work so long and hard for our precious holidays (moreso now under the present economic climate) why take a gamble on whether the long anticipated holiday will go well. SS does exactly what it says on the tin! I'm still a relative newcomer but working on that!
  Changes. Cementing old friendships and making new ones. Hope I haven't rambled on too much. Yammas.

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: my taverna itinery

Any review yet please Deemac? A menu would be good too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about "our man in Havana" - DeeMAc is our man in Corfu!!
He could be our man in Havana(beach bar ) in Corfu!!
Sorry, no. Haven't been there. Mythica menu not extensive, but good variety and average prices.

Take your lap-top in and describe a meal mouthful by mouthful!
Just don't chew the Lap Top
You could set up a webcam so we can all watch the food and service :)

Bring us all a "Doggy Bag!"
Make sure the DOGGY BAG comes from the right End!!!!
Surely that must count as the ruffest joke yet! LOL
Don - you do like to "Lead" us on a bit, sometimes it's a bit of a "choker",
especially when you need a "Leg-up", I get the impression you can be a bit too much of a "Brown-noser".
But you just can't lick a tall "Tail".
At least you can do a very-very close inspection of your balls - -
what!! - (steady girls), tennis balls of course!!! LOL
QUESTION.............. Dogs chase motorbikes! What would they do with it if they caught one?
They thought they were chasing a duCATi and if they catch one they think it's a TRIUMPH!

Hi Tony, you and quite a few others on the forum will remember the really good days of the Drachma. When it was harder to spend your money than to make it last the whole holiday!
Try telling that to the kids of today. Oh happy days.
Seems like you have good memories too!!
Flippin' Euro's!! and the measures of spirit were half a glass!!
First visit to Corfu was to Roda about 30years ago. First time I tasted ouzo. As you say, VERY large measures! Memories of that night a bit (very) hazy! LOL!!
First visit to SS in 2001 and have been back every year since and all being well in the future. It's just sooooo addictive! Have to keep getting my fix.
Pound moved up a touch today but a long way to go.

I hope my memory's served me well and I've got the info right. But, for the benefit of the forum users, I'll nip over to Corfu in 19 days time just to make sure!
The sacrifices I'm prepared to make. LOL!     Yammas.

Good site Jules. Just got a delivery from Crown yesterday. Ordered about 10 days earlier and arrived on the agreed date. Got €1.12/£1 no commision. Every little bit helps. Just a small point, phone or internet banking required.
Plane tickets arrived on Saturday so holiday is now becoming a reality. Yaaaay!!!!
So at the moment I think Postman Pat is wonderful, doesn't only deliver bills!! LOL.   Yammas.

Does anybody know if there are cashpoints at Corfu airport?
Thought I might get a couple of days beer tokens from there just in case the one in SS is a little iffy.
Yes there are. Go out of baggage reclaim into the arrivals area (staying inside the airport), turn right heading towards departures and it's 30 yards or so along. You'll have plenty of time before the cases get onto the carousel - it is Greece after all. LOL.
 There's also a little shop that sells beer! So I've been told.
          20 days to go!

Where to stay / Re: Mythos apartments part 2
« on: May 15, 2009, 05:27:57 AM »
Where are the mythos?  Are the central?

Bit of a walk into town, via the tennis Courts, but not too bad,
not sure if you can "short-cut through" these days??
       There's that road which runs along the side of Stamatis Appartments which goes about 2/3rds of the way to Mythos. It's on my to do list (very short) in a mere 24 days time to check if there's a path going the rest of the way. I can't find the link to the map with all the accomodation on it. Was it the wonderful Jules (creep creep) that posted it? It's somewhere on the site. Jules did post one but not this one.

  What! Jules, Sue and Zoe killed Hendrix! Thanks for the warning as I've just seen in 'banter' that Zoe'll be in SS when I arrive.
I'll have to set patrols All Along The Watchtower.            Yammas.
