There now appears to be no less than eight establishments fighting out the right to take our cash

Can they all make it pay?

Thanks in advance

San Stefanos news and views / What was it like in 2022?
« on: November 27, 2022, 01:07:40 PM »
We were very lucky to have a couple of stays in the village - one in July which was to take in a landmark birthday and the other in August which was a Covid rollover.

The week in July was very much on the breezy side with one day quite showery. However, it was great to be back again and still thoroughly enjoyable as always.

August's three weeks were again on the breezy side for a few days but still quite hot as is usually the case at that time of season.

The place was relatively busy but not bulging at the seams as many of the bars and restaurants appeared on the quiet side in the week before filing up a bit more at the weekends.

As for prices it seemed like food in the shops or when eating out was around 10-20% higher than our last visit but alcohol prices remained about the same or with just a fractional rise in some outlets.

From an independent point of view the dilemma is even more difficult this time.

But it looks like prices for flights are at least 25% higher than last year as things stand.

Well, the webcam has been down for so-called maintenance for over a month as far as I can see!

Hopefully it's not just me

Could they please give the live Skyline webcam a quick wipe!

As if by magic, it has now come back

Maybe the grey old British weather is finally getting to me

Thanks

b) Don't

c) Oh dear

d) Disingenuous, to say the least

A pertinent explanation from Anna and very well said.

For the couple of years I have known Kostas he has been one of the most helpful and polite individuals in San Stefanos.

I cannot speak about the unfortunate incident that kicked this off as I was obviously not there, but there is sometimes a feeling among some that a small minority of visitors do seem to think the place belongs to them.

Kostas was trying to run a small business and as Anna so rightly stated was fully licenced - he deserves respect and not ill-informed comment. Unfortunately sometimes a few people do not seem to think about where they may set themselves up on what has to be described as fairly expansive and wide (at present) beach.

I wish Kostas the best for the future as I understand this maybe his last year. He will be sorely missed by many as he offered a service on that part of the beach that was generally very well received.

A sincere and big thank you for Relaxing Point over the last two summers.

The Jet2 takeover of San Stefanos looks set to continue as the word on the street is that Barras is going with them for next year.

Anyone else heard that?

As the days edge closer to holiday time, the Brexit roulette wheel is still spinning and keeping the exchange rate low

It's all a bit chaotic as far as exchanging is concerned but one thing for sure there does not seem to be a short term solution with all the squabbles continuing

Do we go in now and exchange at around 1.14/15 or will it get higher?

Anybody got a clue?

It's all a bit of a gamble at the moment in the pound/euro stakes as no one seems to know which way things are going.

However as of 10pm this morning John Lewis compared more than favourably with TravelFX which is normally the best

John Lewis 1.1482

TravelFX  1.1441

You pays your money - you takes your choice!

Have to say I very much agree with Jimbo

We have used restaurant for many years now and there has never been any sort of problem.

And if they can do anything to help, Yiannis and Vaso are very forthcoming.

Will very much back be back supporting them in August
