San Stefanos news and views / Re: Prices
« on: June 23, 2013, 03:38:48 PM »
An update on some prices. Generally eating out and drinking, same prices as last year. El Greco advertising large draught Mythos at 2 euros thirty, most are 2.50-3.00. Bottled beers from the Corfu brewery are more expensive, around 3.50-4.00.
Bottled Greek lager in Aspa supermarket is 1.05-1.15 for a large bottle, i think 1.05 for Fix, Mythos 1.10 and Alfa 1.15 if I've got it in the right order.

A loaf from the bakery is 90 cents as per last year, Croissants 1.20.

Zest for life juice bar prices seemed to be the same as last hear as well.

Petrol up a bit again, shop around as a litre varied from 171.9-184.9. Be aware the BP garage beside the breweryy is 184.9, something I only found out as the car was being filled, the prices are only showing on the board if you come from the Magoulades direction! If I'd waited until we got down to Sidari/Roda, I'd have saved 10 cents a litre.

Excursion prices at San Stef and the other agents all about the same as last year.

Got a good price agaiin this year for four days car hire from Valantis at San Stef Car Hire.

Hi Andy

It was good to meet you and Gill and we've had another super day here today. Yes we are here until Friday but  you'll visit more often than us with your weekend trips. Wish we could, not relly feasible from Scotland though.

Have a lovely meal Lesley. It was really nice down there today. We're hoping to book for Sunday night for our annual visit. Menu looks as good as ever, enjoy!

We were on our sunbeds at the Mango bar on Friday when the guy came around, I was too late to stop a German couple buying his "fresh fruit".

Another gorgeous day here today. The wind dropped by yesterday morning, and temps are set to climb into the thirties in next few days. Beach was busy today, had a very nice walk this morning followed by a lovely lunch of prawns and sardines at Waves. This is definitely the life :D

The beach is indeed around half the width, they had a very stormy winter and this has also silted the harbour again meaning the Nearchos is having to run the San Stef boat trips from Sidari, the vessel itself being berthed at Kassiopi. This has unfortunately meant that the Mathraki and Othoni trip is not running, the very one we wanted to do this year!
They were supposed to come and clear the harbour in April, this colud be the marine equivalent of the bypass saga!

Just had two at Akrotiri, perfect after the climb up. Nice snack too! One of my favourite places, could watch the view for hours.

Yes the factory is a laundry and then past the home of football to Avliotes. If you do walk back up to Avliotes, the views from the two churches are pretty good. The one on the San Stef side of the village is a flatter walk and good panoramic views and a couple of shaded seats, the one on the other side a much steeper climb but with a view down to Cape Drastis.

Ilias restaurant is a great place to sit and enjoy a bit of luinch and of course a beer to prepare for the walk back! Great views across the valley.

Interesting certainly does cover some of the roads. well worth it though to explore some of the places off the beaten track. Old Perithia is very peaceful, we've been up a couple of times.

Agree Paleo by boat is a great trip. The San Stef Travel trips to Ericousa or Othoni also v. good. Ericousa is really beautiful with an easy walk, Othoni also v. nice. For something different, Albania is worth a trip and would really recommend the Parga and Paxos trip. both these are a long day but worth it.

Of the coach tours, have only done the SS travel Corfu Town shopper. It's a little more expensive than the local bus but you don't have the slightly chaotic wait at the bus station for the return.

SS travel are cheaper than Thomsons and the girls will look after you. Enjoy.

We've taken a taxi from the airport for the last two years arriving early afternoon on the Friday, journey time 45-60 mins. Cost was 55 euros each time and we asked Mike at the Little Prince to book it for us. Heard that SS travel also good. We'll be doing the same this year, it's great to get up there with no hassles.

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Re: Spoilt for choice 2013
« on: March 12, 2013, 06:18:20 PM »
For us it has to be:

1. Little Prince, food and atmosphere.
2. Ozzy Oils, food and atmosphere.
3. Beachcomber, food and views.

It's a close call as there are quite a few strong candidates!

It wasn't open when we were over on the 6th of June but I think it usually opens a little later as we've never seen it open in May or early June.

All those mentioned are open. The new supermarket is also now open. A new doctor's surgery is to open in the old Perdita's shop opposite the Little Prince. This should have been open by now but there appear to be some issues with health board inspections and more to be done. Finally, Avliotes by pass looks to be the best bit of road in Corfu but sadly, it's still not open!
