It's the New 2010 Holiday Season - First Reports of San Stefanos

[Waspman]

I paid 53 Euros each way in May

What was the cost of the taxi to the resort?

55 euros e/w. Comparatively expensive, compared to a minibus with a few other people, but we were out of baggage collection, straight in taxi and at Fedra Mare within 50 minutes - pretty good. We had cheap flights + great value accomodation, so didn't mind paying a premium for personal transport.
We do it this way when we go to The Algarve every year, so why not in Corfu. It's our little bit of 'luxury' rather than wait around for other flights to arrive and then go thru' other resorts before arriving where one is staying.

Just to keep you up to date...

Friday flight from Robin Hood took off and landed early. The Thomson's bus dropped off in Kyrkyra, then Sidari. Took around two hours.

The rep at the airport said we should look for information about the welcome party on the notice board in our apartments. The notice board said we should have details in our welcome packs. We did not have welcome packs. If there is a rep, we have not spotted such a beast.

Wonderful greeting from the Little Prince people, followed later by excellent Mousaka. Prices everywhere are the same as last year or +1 euro for meals. Local ciggies like Karelia or Assos are pleasing 2.50 to 2.90 a pack.

The weather is fine, but the breeze from NW is quite chilly.

A bunch of the forum gang met at Athena yesterday to watch the appalling England defeat. Fortunately Don was not there to laugh at us!

Some comfort was provided later by a lovely meal at Mythica (2 courses, 9 Euro)

So I report that SS still exists. Mythos is consistently 2.50, and the sea is cool but blue.

TTFN

Is that the father of Manthos (of Manthos restaurant) and Stefano of The Condor? If it was, he was taken ill towards the end of our holiday the other week - we were walking back to Fedra Mare at about 1 in the morning and an ambulance was at Golden Bay apts just up from Manthos taverna.

Thanks for the news - shame - I think you mean Costos, Father of manthos, Nikos, and Stefanos.
He was quite old and getting frail when we saw him last year.
I hope it's not Manthos of the Manthos Taverna as he is a good pal!!

Tony, it says on the Agni forum that the man that died was 95 years of age. RIP.

[H A S]

Tony the one who as passed away was about 95 years old i think.

I think that may be Costos, he was late sixties when we first went in 1983, so that must be about right.

Lovely man - will miss him

Somebody to do with the Condor passed away while we were there last week.  The condor was closed for two days.  Im not sure who it was though.

Stefanos who owns The Condor is the son of Costas (Manthos of Manthos taverna is the other son) - Costas fell ill during our final days in SS the other week.

[Jimbo]

Condor is open now.

He had a good life - RIP!!
