San Stefanos news and views / Re: Parga day trip
« on: August 24, 2021, 05:29:48 PM »
We did the opposite 20 yrs ago - we were staying in Parga for 2 weeks and took a day trip to Corfu! It was our first visit to the island, but definitely not our last! A lovely leisurely cruise and we spotted loads of dolphins! We don't swim either - we always take a book to relax with on board while the others are splashing about!

San Stefanos news and views / Re: Tell us about "Sunny Bay" Hotel?

When we first came to SS (about 7 or 8 yrs ago) we walked up the driveway to this hotel and had a nose around. Access was still OK although weeds were rapidly taking over the drive. There had obviously been people squatting in the building, loads of sleeping bags, empty cans etc around. We didn't touch anything and did not enter the building as the floor looked unsafe. Yes, it was just like the Marie Celeste, very weird. A few years later we saw that security gates had been put up, and the trees has grown so much the hotel was not visible. I think this was discussed on the forum a while back?

I thought I read last year that it was up for sale? This may have been pre-Covid?

I think I remember reading (pre-Covid) that it had closed down and was for sale?

Sad news indeed. Used to love pottering round the shop (no pun intended). I suppose Brexit on top of the pandemic was just the final straw. Good luck Jackie and Pete. We’ll miss the 3 Ws quizzes too!

Not too bad here in North Staffs either! Will be able to walk to my hair appointment at 5.30pm! Yes, you heard right - just managed to get in before Lockdown 2!

I see what you’re saying Jimbo. However in my case, we should have been going to Spain in September 2020 (cancelled). When we booked I checked and Spain was one of the countries that didn’t insist on six months remaining on the passport. As long as it was valid for the duration of the holiday that was fine. I do realise that if planning a trip abroad in September 2031 I may have to apply early, depending on where we go!

Jimbo, I understand that it has to have 6 months REMAINING on it at the time of travel.

Welcome back Maggie! So glad you managed to get your holiday in the end.

Well, we only travel abroad once or twice a year. Our next trip in April 2021 may well not be going ahead if the present situation continues, so I'd prefer to leave it as late as possible as I don't want to pay for months that I will not be needing!
