Very strange behaviour, I’ve noticed there are a lot of first timer visitors who have joined the Facebook groups this year. So if it’s them they need to transition into San Stef relax mode, and not import bad habits.

A few changes since 2019 Lofty but also there will still be many familiarities.
Lovely part of the village and so many good tavernas on your doorstep. Have a great time.

They do look amazing, we haven’t spent any time at the Joia beach bar so are going to do that this year. Again it looks a beautiful place. Good to get personal recommendations, thanks Winkie.

At waves, has anyone tried their Meat Pikilia or their Seafood Pikilia?  Not on the menu.
We haven’t, don’t think we would manage it all.

Still here in SS. Very hot which is good. Lots of repeaters but also lots of new people. Restaurants are busier now and in my opinion Waves is still the best restaurant but still got more to try. Seaweed building up again as not been cleared since we have been here. Bar 180 degrees is nice and they now have a giant size heart at the front of the bar where you can get a lovely sunset or sea photo.
Scottygirl, can’t disagree about Waves, one of our favourites too and excellent value. Any other restaurants that have made it to your favourite list?

Ahh Fedra Mare, what a great place to spend your anniversary trip. We are back there in 3 weeks time. As you say the breakfasts are off the scale.
Shame about the beach, the seaweed really needs keeping on top of. It was either last year or the year before that the sunbed law was introduced, I believe designed to ensure that enough beach is free for general use. But I hate being on a sunbed arms length from a stranger and the last two years Thomas boats hasn’t had his beds out which was our preference because of the space afforded between them. Did he have them out this year Tredegar Boy?
Your restaurant choices was a carbon copy of our favourites, only previously experienced bookings necessary at Manthos and Sandhills, so it will be interesting to see how it is during the school holidays when we have to go.
What was your no.1 restaurant TB?

Ref the costs, yes they have definitely increased and that makes a budget holiday a thing of the past and I can see the dilemma when compared to your cruise. Our 2 weeks in SS in total is now about 3/4 of the cost of an 11 night trip to St Lucia or Antigua in a good quality all inclusive. If we picked more expensive accommodation like Paralia apartments or Delfino then it would be about the same price as its low season in the Caribbean.

That said over the last couple of years we have holidayed in other European resorts too, Bitez in Turkey, Pefkos in Rhodes, Matagorda Lanzarote and Puerto Mogan Gran Canaria. All our average daily spend was higher than in SS. Main courses that are 15€ in SS we find our 20-25 elsewhere. Even with more self catering salad lunches we were spending more. But we haven’t been this year yet so we will see, I’ll make sure we take a slush fund!

Here again, roasting hot, and really busy in the village and beach, never seen so many cars parked there every day. Beer’s roughly £ 5 cocktails £8, food we have had was real good value, tonight heading our favourite, Olympia. Tomorrow, hope to hire a boat, a take a trip around the coast to Paleo.
Different weather and vibe to the village from your May visit then Radarman? Have a great time.
Love a boat trip down the coast to Paleo, though a couple of years ago was nearly back, made it in to the bay and ran out of fuel so Thomas had to bring a tank on his jet ski!

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: Snack bar.

New to us is a snack bar between LP and Peli and Maria’s, serving burgers, coffee etc, looked very nice indeed.
If that’s the one next to the builders offices then it wasn’t open last year so good to see someone taken it over. Maybe for the two or three years prior it was called crepepetite doing coffees, crepes, ice cream etc.

Has anyone tried Sandhills, the replacement for the Beachcomber?
We had lunch and then dinner twice at Sandhills last year having only had cocktails there the previous year. Excellent quality and service can highly recommend it.

It seems someone else has taken it over, Athens had started doing more food last year alongwith the bar and live bands. Ashamed to say, despite walking past most days when we used to stay at Romanza, that we’ve never been in! Not been in Condor either, keep saying every year we must and never get around to it.
