San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Gillywoo/Andy,

Great to get feedback.  I was actually thinking about posting a new topic regarding the new chinese restaurant.  Have you tried it?  That sounds great by the way, spending a long weekend in San Stef.  Did you just arrive and trawl the hotels or had you already booked?

Well Lesley, it's seven weeks to the day for me and the wife.  Can't wait!  Where are you based/work Lesley?

Hi,

The wife and I have been to Santorini and we stayed in the resort of Perissa.  It was wonderful.  It still has its Greek roots although there are still a few music bars, mainly on the sea front.  There are lots of restaurants and tavernas to choose from and the people are very warm and friendly.  The resort itself can probably be covered on foot in less than an hour.  So if you are a walking fanatic (like me and the wife), it's best to head up and over the mountain to the nearby resort of Kamari.  This should take not more than an hour and I will not spoil it for you by explaining the walk.  Lets just say I personally thought that I was going for a full on SAS yomp, which it was at first.  Anyhoo, I dont want to spoil the surprise.  Whilst in Kamari, which is pretty but not as good as Perissa, you can have a spot of lunch then get the boat taxi back to Perissa.  Again, I wont say too much but it is a laugh (can you swim?).  Perissa has a nice long beach and there was not a lot of traffic in the resort, which is good.  You will enjoy Perissa if you like San Stef.

Hi everyone.  Although I have been to San Stef a few times now, I am thinking that the restaurants and tavernas are not all that great when it comes to serving fresh fish (not frozen).  I may be wrong.  Can any others out there recommend a good place for fresh fish?  I do recall Yiannis Grill advertising fresh fish but I'm not sure if the wife and I tried it.

Hi all,

My wife and I are also staying at the Little Prince Apartments in June.  I know Jimbo has been helpful with apartment selection etc, but are there any apartments to avoid?  We like a high floor, are there apartments on the ground floor?

Like most of you, I cannot say we had a really bad meal (perhaps Nafsika just the once when the prawns had not been cleaned, the wife complained of grit and sand being present).  However, here we go;

1. Olympia (excellent everytime we have been)

2. Mythica (dont bother with starter and just get the bread with olive paste)

3. Sunset  (proper Greek food)

Soulie, the wife and I have been to Kefalonia, although not Skala, and we think San Stef is truly the best.  We just feel that it has that Greek feel but with such a lovely bunch of Brits that are of similar ilk.  It's dificult to explain actually to others that have not sampled San Stef.  You will certainly not be disapointed.
