Where to stay / Re: Towel mafia at Romanza....
« on: August 14, 2014, 01:08:16 PM »
Winkie/leew, it is very sad that adults feel the need to behave like that but I guess people don't change their personalities just because they are on holiday, best thing is not to react to them and just go about your business, can never figure out why some  adults on holiday become possessive about their hotel/apartments and even the resort, like I say tis a sad and childish way to behave, all water off a ducks back to me and on occasions it is highly amusing to witness. I once got told by a fellow holiday maker who returned to the same hotel year after year that I was sat on their chair, I politely explained that the said chair belonged to the hotel and not them, got glared at for the rest of the holiday, quite a pathetic way for an adult to behave!

Sunbeds wars taken to an whole new level, two brothers stabbed over a row about sunbeds in Gumbet, Turkey, todays Daily Mirror, absolutely shocking that an adult would resort to this! :o :o :o

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: Restaurants & Gluten-Free

You can get an info card available to download and print on the internet, just select the country that you are visiting and it will explain in your chosen language what your wife can and cannot eat, just google gluten free cards when visiting other countries and it should come up. Hope this helps.

We fly from Bristol to Rhodes two weeks ago.  I checked in on line, but baggage drop was just like checking in.  You still have to produce your passports so not much difference


I thought that might be the case (pardon the pun), seems pretty pointless really but I suppose from the airlines point of view it saves on staff!

Love getting to the airport early...... Few beers and the holiday starts

I don't mind a drink if it is a late morning flight or an afternoon flight but I could not face it at 4.30am.

I agree Jules, better to be safe than sorry. :)

Hi Gilly, I know what you mean regarding the suitcases, hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on what happens to the cases at drop off, I like to see the barcode attached to the case and knowing next time I see it (well hopefully) we will be in arrivals at Corfu airport. ;D ;D

Hi, it will be our first time doing a bag drop off too, after reading other forums on the subject then make sure that you consider that there may be long queues for the bag drop off too, problem is that you will have no way of knowing until you arrive at the airport, people have missed flights even though they thought that they had allowed plenty of time because the gates closed before they reached the front of the queue. In our case the bag drop off opens 2 hours before departure but closes 40 minutes before departure so we have one hour and 20 minutes to drop bags off, all things considered we are going to be at the airport 3 hours before departure as we have no way of knowing how busy it will be, will just chill and have a coffee if no big queues.

Quite agree Jules, always find it great there, excellent food (especially BBQ Night) Kerry is the perfect host.

Looks like we have all had different experiences then and that I suppose would be the reason  why we would eat there again or not!

Last year we had a similar experience and did not return and this was when the owner was there, the food/service was just not up to scratch and we both left most of the meal and we got no goodbye or thank you when we left, I found this strange because a couple of years previously the food was great and we received a warm welcome. Plenty of other places to dine at though

Looking at the webcam then yes the beach does look a mess, it would not put me off to be honest because I am just happy to be going on holiday but I think it could be off putting to new visitors or potential visitors to SS. I still managed to have my daily doze on the beach last year despite the lorry and digger making a racket. A glass of wine or two usually does the trick. ;D ;D

Rod, Terri,

Thanks for your kind comments, appreciated. I've hopefully uploaded a photo of (he that is now known as) Pano, with Ruby in the background. Once you see that face of his, you'll see why we had to bring the young scamp home !

You really are kind and wonderful people, this has made me smile so much, we need more people like you in the world! Pano has found his forever home, he looks very happy indeed.

Regarding my previous post, I have remembered the name of the new taverna in Afionas, it is Anemos taverna, excellent reviews on TA complete with photo's, worth a visit. We visited during the day but if anyone is hiring a car and would like an evening meal there then they are also open of an evening and I believe the sunsets are amazing.

Yes a very good idea, we walk there at least once during our holiday, always look forward to the walk and stopping off for lunch, there is a new taverna now (can't remember name) but if you go through the narrow little streets just past the square then you will come to it and it is sign posted. The views from the balcony are amazing and the food very good. The walk back down is a lot quicker. :) :)
