San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Hi all,

Can you help me with two peoples names I have forgotten.  Terrible memory and the thing is I got to know these people well.  The first one is the fellow who runs the poolside snack bar at Vickys Apartments and the second one looked after Princes' Bar at the Little Prince Hotel last year.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone.  The wife and I have been here in San Stef for six days now, so apologies for the delay in getting back to you lot.  I am currently using the computer in Gravia.  Stunning views as most of you know.  Anyhoo, I will give you all a brief update.

. Best sofrito EVER in the Olympia.
. Resort quiet but "ticking over".
. Food prices cheap, average of 35 euros for two, starter, main course and wine.
. Now three supermarkets on main street.
. Chinese restaurant has good reports although we have not tried it.
. Beach has loads of sunbeds, normally half of them actually being used.
. Weather hot but bearable due to the breeze.
. Lots of families from Finland in resort.  The kids just a little irritating.

Take care everyone.

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I last posted, but I require your advice.  The wife and I have made up our minds to return to San Stef in the beginning of September.  Without sounding boastful, I know all about the resort.  However we are in a dilemma of where to stay.  We think we have it down to two.  So, would you recommend the Little Prince or the Thomas Bay?  We have stayed in neither.  No pressure on you lot!

Hi all,

Can someone tell me how far and how much in time the following would be if I was walking.  I have been on the local walks info but I am still not sure if the distances are from San Stef or Arillas.  It's probably me!

From San Stef to Afionas (Dionysos taverna) and from San Stef to Ag Georgios.

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

It's been a while since I've been on, so I thought I would have a good old Victor Meldrew moan about Thomas Cook.  My wife and I booked way back in October, for 2 weeks, 18th June staying at the Mythos apartments.  Or so we thought!  I received a phone call today from the local Thomas Cook branch to inform me that "the hotelier is unable to honour your reservation".  So in their wisdom, without my blessing, they decided to book me into the Kokinos apartments in Arillas.

Well I visted the local office and told them in no uncertain terms that I thought their actions or lack of them was disgusting.  I asked all the relevant questions, why? how? etc; but they were totally indifferent to my dilemma and put the blame firmly with the owners of the Mythos apartments.  Now I stayed at these apartments last year and I recall other holiday makers having similar problems.  Why are Thomas Cook giving these people any business?  They honestly did not seem to be interested in resolving my problem and I ended up sitting going through various options available.  After this holiday I will not touch Thomas Cook again!

To conclude, I changed dates and my wife and I are staying for two weeks at the Vicky apartments starting 25th June.  Any feedback on these apartments would be helpful.

Rod.
