San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Another overcast day today, must be because it's bank holiday time!

All quite quiet in the village today, although there was some painting of doors and windows going on at Silver Moon.

There are a few visitors travelling around, I think they're probably visiting for Easter. We met a very nice Italian couple on the beach this afternoon, walking their dogs, who had come over for the festivities.

The famous 'pot smashing' happens in Corfu Town tomorrow....take a look on Google, it's a huge event!
We're not going , but will be going to the Midnight service in Afionas, which is candlelit, followed by fireworks & dynamite (!) at Midnight. We went last year, and it was a great experience.

Kalo Paska. 

An overcast, and (almost) chilly day today, hopefully it won't last too long though!

Wasn't down in the village today, but did hear a rumour last night that there may be a new tenant in the old Chinese this year.
I don't know how definate this is, as it was a bit 'I heard it through the Grapevine', but someone has painted the outside paintwork, changing it from red to white.
Watch this space all, I'll keep you posted.

Also, I'm very interested to hear the great reviews of the curries at Perros.....now I know where to go to get my curry fix this summer! 

Another beautiful sunny day today. 

Took a walk past Olive Press today, and no sign of any work...

Nothing happening at Manthos, unless you count my dog trying to chase a cat near there! But I expect they will be up and running for the season.

Pressure washer out today at Elizabeths Jewellers, cleaning their canopies, and scrubbing the pavement!

And cleaning down of furniture happening at Tasty Corner too. Must admit, I'm looking forward to seeing the gyros turning again, here, and at Yiannis......

Hi all,

Yet another sunny day, with just a hint of a breeze, this is such a lovely time of year.

Ioanna, I've not seen anything happening at The Olive Press. I know it was advertised as available to rent, but I don't know if anyone has taken it, maybe someone else knows?

Didn't head down to San Stef today, but can report that when I drove out yesterday I did notice that the tennis courts have been done up, and now have a nicely painted green surface, crisply painted white lines, and a new net, so if anyone's feeling energetic....... 

We did drive through it a few weeks ago, although I don't think we should of! It is almost finished, just a bit rough on a couple of sections.
Lesley may be the lady that knows if and when it may be open this year.............

Well, after a very windy night last night, we had a very windy day! Myself and the dog got sandblasted on the beach this morning! With the wind coming straight off the sea, the waves were rolling in, resulting in a high tide.

Today saw more painting, with 'touching up' being done at Mediterranean Village, and sanding down being done at Thomas Bay.
I was chatting to an early tourist in Arillas this afternoon who commented on how everyone local they've met seem to be wearing paint splattered clothes....it's definately that time of year. The local hardware shops must be doing a roaring trade at the moment!

I wish Yiannis and Maria knew how people have commented on missing Grande Gelato this year....we'd loved to have had them as our neighbours again, but sadly its not to be.
