Hi All,

We spent Easter with a couple of friends in Kassiopi so we could be in Corfu Town for the pot smashing, which on the whole was a real spectacle and thoroughly recommended if you ever get the opportunity.

Whilst in Kassiopi we kept spotting a stray dog, that eventually won us over and we have now brought him back home to the UK with the help of the marvellous Cheryl at Corfu Animal Rescue Establishment. He's 80% English Setter, is now well settled, putting weight back on and is best mates with our Dalmatian Ruby. he's quite a regal chap with a lovely calm nature - unless he spots any kind of bird !

We had trip over to San Stefanos one day and it was really eerie to see it properly closed, Tasty Corner and the Bakery appeared open, but apart from seeing the irrepessible Robbie at Kapetanios, there was hardly a soul about - mind you that was Good Friday.

Had to cancel our trip to San Stefanos last Sept at short notice and this year we have special anniversary and family commitments so we won't be back. HOWEVER I have just booked 10 days at Kapentanios for September 2015 !

Keep up all the fun and laughter on this forum, it's keeps us all in touch with our favourite resort and have a great time all of you that are lucky enough to be going this year.

Cheers,

John.

Information and help please / Abandoned Hotel ?
« on: August 09, 2013, 11:04:17 AM »
Morning All,

Returning to Ag Stefanos for the 3rd time (in 3 yrs - unheard of for us - but we're hooked !) in 5 weeks time, so thanks to all for keeping us up to date with all the news and views - informative and entertaining.

Can anyone tell me (just curiosity really), what the story is with huge, apparently abandoned hotel, which is just off "The Strip" past Yiannis Grill / Silver Moon Bar on the right as you head towards the hill.

When we were in San Stef last year I walked up the overgrown road and it certainly looked out of action, but also in relatively good shape as if it had been in use maybe 8 to 10 years ago ? But I have never seen it mentioned on this forum.

As I said can't wait to get back, love the place despite on the first visit not being too sure whether I did for the first 2 -3 days. My favourite spot is having an early evening beer or 2 (whilst waiting for my infinately better half to join me) at El Gecco and watching the resort come to life - bliss !

Afternoon all,

Just returned from Ag Stef (on 24th sept), which was our 2nd visit, with the first being last year and we've already booked to go back. We've never been to same place three years in a row, but as you've all confirmed, it really get's under your skin !

This year we did a few walks to make sure we'd enjoy the copious amounts of Mythos, Red Wine and Ouzo later in the day and completed 3 that I'd recommend, but was wondering if anyone could suggest some others for next year.

Walk 1 - Ag Stef to Afionas, then on to Porto Timoni.

Walk 2 - Ag Georgios to Makrades via the Donkey Path and back

Walk 3 - Ag Georgios to Pagi then returning via valley paths and back roads.

All 3 were all great walks for different reasons, but I'd be interested if anyone had others they recommend for next September.

Also does anyone know what happened to "Bosko" ? He was ever present at the Kamini Bar last year and was a lovely Boxer(ish) dog, big and white with a lot of black spots and a typical Boxer jutting lower jaw and a lovely temperament.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Just returned from Ag Stef (I posted earlier in the "Where To Eat Out" section as San (Ag) Stefanos Virgin), so thanks for all your advice and just out of curiosity, we ate the first night at Nasfika and were very pleased. Didn't have poor meal anywhere in our 10 nights and we had at least 7 Mezedes style meals, with a large jug of wine at most.

As a first timer to Ag Stefanos, the place grew on me as time went on. At first it was a tad too brash and British with a lack of smaller tavernas tucked around the back streets (if you kown what I mean) and all the bars seemed huge. But the sheer friendliness of everyone and I do mean everyone, won us over and we began to really like the evenings out, but funnily enough didn't eat or really drink along the "Condor Strip", but preferred the older part to drink and eat in (large Mythos on draught only 2 euros at the 3W Bar.

We loved the area around the resort and walked to Ag Georgios twice and had a scooter to get out and about for a week or so. Stopped three times (after a longish walk) at Erianas on the peninsular by the little church and loved the shade, the welcome, the chickens/ducks/geese etc and the lovely Eriana herself.

Overall we had a fantastic stay in Ag Stefanos and will definately return in a year or two - thankyou for all the sage advice and entertainment on this forum and enjoy your next holiday in Ag Stef !

Hi All,

Can't wait to get to San Stef for 10 nights in early June and have really enjoyed and been entertained / informed by this fantastic forum.

My question is to all you San Steffanatics - Which Taverna / Restaurant should Caroline and I eat on the first night - always an important choice - we're easily pleased and as long it's got cold Mythos, wine by the jug, Greek food and checked table cloths (all right so I can live without the table cloths but I demand slightly uncomfortable rafia and wooden chairs !).

I've seen the seven night guide (very useful), but would love to get your first night choices.

Thanks in advance,

John.

Out and About / Motorbike Hire in San Stefanos/Arrilas
« on: March 16, 2011, 03:04:18 PM »
Hi All,

New member here, first and foremost like to say that this forum is a really friendly, informative and active one and I've already picked up some great info and had a few laughs at some of the humerous posts and exchanges.  ;D

We're coming to stay at the Kapetanios in June and will be hiring a motorbike for the 10 days that we're there. Not really knowing San Stef/Arrilas area (we did visit Arrilas to hire  aboat for a few hours 6 or 7 years ago), is there a company I can rent a trial bike from or will I need to go to Sidari to get a bigger choice of bikes. Ideally I'd like a 250cc + trial bike as I'd like to really get around the NW and NE of the island.

Thanks in advance (Roll on Summer !),

Cheddar.
