San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Major storm in resort this morning, prolonged lightening, deafening thunder and 2-3 hrs of torrential rain, the stream is a raging torrent,the bridge has been washed up the beach, which was divided by a 20 meter river!  For a while the street around condor was a river with sand and shingle deposited across the road....Then all calm ...the sun comes out in the afternoon and we have enjoyed lovely sun bathing this afternoon....what a place! Now we await the frogs and turtles return - they must have been washed out to sea. Called in to Hippopots to order our ceramic frogs...they are the only ones left in the village!

8 of us booked direct with Romanza, Easyjet flights , (mid June ) and locally organised transport. 3 first time San Stef couples in our party, really hoping they all enjoy the village as much as we do.

Great post Jimbo, have never travelled to SS so late in the season, weather wise guess the mind set needs to run along the lines of whatever will be will be .Glad you did OK on that front. I would imagine flights and accommodation prices are a fair bit cheaper through October?                                           It must be strange to see shutters going up and tables and chairs being stacked.                       Anyhow we are returning next year with 6 San Stef virgins, we are hoping they will soon understand why it's the only place we return to.
Fingers crossed when the chairs and tables are dusted down in May that the beach has reset itself and the winter storms don't cause any further erosion.

Hi Nevets, we arrive on Sunday, asked the Romanza to arrange our taxi as we booked independent, we are paying E55 each way, same price as last couple of years, not sure how this compares with the airport taxis?

Thanks for the updates Jackie, much appreciated. Next time you're feeling energetic can you pop up the clay path to the Romanza?!    I believe a new upstairs bar and first floor sun deck is near completion , could do with your expert eye for a progress report on aesthetics etc . Hope your painting goes well!

Strong winds and a fair amount of cloud again this morning in San Stef ,cancelled last nights sun set picnic on the beach due to wind and cloud, looks like tonight may be cancelled again, most unusual weather, t shirts and shawls required around the pool at the mo! Just have to tough it out at the bar!!

Hi teambunny, can I ask about The Night Owl, why is that your favourite ? We hope to be out and about from time to time, may give it a go.

We're heading out there next week just looking for any latest recommendations from those who are out there or recently returned. Are there any not to be missed dishes, new venues or  pleasant surprises from this years menus? Cheers.
