San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

I agree with Gillie! If you don't like a topic then don't read it!!

I may agree/disagree with what is being said, but I do not like it when childish insults are used rather than a logical argument!

We may not like/agree with other people's opinions, however, we should all be open for debating the subject in an adult manner!

Sounds very plausible to me!

We stood on the steps above the Havana Bar, watching the waves rolling in and out.

Large rocks have now been placed on the sand in this area - I think they were placed there last winter.

When you watched the waves, as they hit the rocks they became distorted and ebbed at an angle instead of flowing back and forth. So no doubt the sand below was being pulled away in a different direction to the rest of the beach.

I wonder if this may also be an added reason?

Great post Jim - so pleased the weather stayed fab until you came home. The final night at LP sounded wonderful - I love to see Pavlos dance and Dimitris in a flap. Wish we could have stayed to enjoy it.

It was lovely seeing you and your lovely wife again albeit with a wine infused brain most of the time

By the way - I think Cameron is quite good looking.............x

Yes air con is available at the Tsaros and i would expect to pay about 7 euros per night. Lovely apartments by the way. Andy

They had live music on when we were there in May. It had gone 1am and was really loud - Dimitris was not impressed.
We then walked through the village and Bar 38 was just as loud!! I felt very sorry for anyone staying in Thomas Bay as they had it from both sides. The Condor was still going strong but had closed their doors so it was not too bad.
You could still hear the music when we got back to the Kapentanios - but after about 10 mins it went quiet - so not sure if the police turned up or what.
If this was early season I dread to think what it will be like in July/August with all of the other venues trying to out do each other!! To be honest that 'strip' reminds me of Sidari and is not my favourite part of the village in the evening!!

Hi
I know everybody sings the praises of San Stef Travel which is exactly why I have used them for taxi transfers for the last 2 visits. However we had problems this year when we booked the coach to go to Corfu Town. All went swimmingly until myself, and 4 others were dumped in Sidari on the way back without warning and told a mini bus would collect us due to an accident !!!. So we waited and we waited and we waited and eventually Noula arrived 45 mins later smiling in fact the first comment was "so this is where they dumped you" now as you can imagine, we were all tired and perhaps a sorry would have been good.  She did indicate that we had only been waiting for 20 mins which was not true. When we asked her where the accident was she knew nothing about it and was very rude. She said all she knew was that she had been woken up and asked to pick us up !! Not good and very unprofessional. We did use San Stef for an excursion on our last visit but as we were picked up in a van that had no suspension and taken to Sidari to meet the coach I didn't use them for excursions this year but thought we would be safe getting the coach from San Stef and back again to the town.
I have just booked for next year and will not be using San Stef travel again and would not reccommend them as Noula was very rude to us.
Almost as soon as the driver dropped us in Sidari he was picking up another coach load to take to the town so I suspect that is why we were not taken to San Stef.
As said above if Noula would have apologised I would not be posting this but instead she was very rude

 

An unfortunate incident, however, I will just add that my sister and hubby booked a trip with Thompsons once and were put on a old minibus without aircon, it was so bad they got off at Sidari and walked back to San Stef!

so it's not just San Stef travel that makes mistakes.

As for an apology, you try getting one off Thomson......good luck.

I agree nursejoanne. Love the Little Prince and the breakfasts are so hard to beat!!

Sometimes when the restaurant is busy the kitchen staff can be under stress to get food out, which can mean some people may feel the quality of the food is not so good.

I can have fantastic meals here in England but there is no ambiance. That's how I feel about a lot of places in SS - the food is great but you could be eating anywhere! You eat your meal then go - how boring is that?

I'm not for eating my meal then going to a bar, I love to sit with a carafe of wine and chill, listening to the greek music in the background after my meal, then maybe go to the (Athens) Bar for a drink in the early hours  

When I go out for a meal I want to enjoy the whole experience and the food itself can sometimes be secondary to the atmosphere etc. of the establishment.
 
The Little Prince can sometimes have it's off days - as all places can, but to me it's the best place to chill, enjoy greek company/music/food and dance and you just can't beat it!!

To me it's the best Taverna in SS!!!

Just back from a long weekend in San Stefanos!

Early flight from Newcastle meant we were sat in the Havana Bar by 12pm on Friday!!

Had a great time - no mozzie bites but shattered!! The worst part of going for a weekend is trying to make the days last, which usually means very little sleep!

Stayed at the Kapentanios in the new block, fantastic!! Wonderful apartment with views to die for. Spotlessly clean and no killer shower!! Would highly recommend them and everyone there is lovely - as most people are in SS!!!

Weather was great, resort busy and not a bad meal anywhere. Sadly it's back to work tomorrow so back down to earth with a bump!!
