Greetings from San Stefanos.
« on: May 08, 2009, 07:33:24 PM »
Yes I am in San Stef. Waiting all over. Haven't any news yet as not long here. First stop - a big Mythos (and that's exactly what I'm doing). Will have news of prices, changes etc before too long.

You've just made me go into my cellar and drag a couple of cans up to the kitchen fridge. I was saving them for a special occasion so you can consider yourself honoured Deemac!

Hope you're enjoying life in SS. Only been on the forum a few times since joining a few weeks ago. We're back in SS in 5 weks after a 16 year absence. A couple of weeks ago some of the SS regs gave me an idea of drink/food prices. I'd be interested to know average prices for a large Mythos and a smirnoff voda + diet coke in the bars this year, if you have a mo over the weekend. This euro/pound exchange rate is playing havoc with my holiday budget this year!!

Friends of ours just flew back to Norwich from San Stef today. They were getting €1.12 to the £. Better than here!

1.12 euros that is better than UK. Doesn't surprise me though. UK banks, travel co.s, any UK based exchange, always been a rip-off!
So how were they exchanging? Traveller's cheques? Pounds sterling cash for euros in hotels? Exchange shop?

So many questions, but I am not surprised. To Don - Thanks! Bristle Boy - Big beer €2.50, vodka & coke €4 (spirits €2.50, soft €1.50), meals seem the same as last year e.g. 3 course Thomas Bay €7 . I saw €1.12 to  the £ yesterday, but prob commission off that.  To Tonyco1 & Don - I have my laptop, but my accommodation includes a pc.(The Cottage, behind Quietude).  Yiannis is now in what was the Kebab shop opposite Condor, Leo & Jenny's place is due to open tonight (name not yet revealed). I think that's all for now, be back soon!

Thanks for all of that Deemac. Sounds all ok to me. So Yiannis is about  - I'm glad - he is a character. :)

Deemac......very much appreciated; sounds reasonable, compared to many places in the Med. Last June in Santorini that combo of drinks cost us about 9 euros.....and that was on the 'cheap' side of the island! Now enjoy your holiday!
