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

We returned home yesterday after a week at the Kapetanios Apartments.  We were concerned that we were not going to be able to get there because of the ash cloud but our flight from Newcastle was just delayed by one and a half hours and our friends on the Birmingham flight had no delays. We stayed in the re-furbished apartments at Kapetanios and in all the years we have been going to Greece it was the best we have stayed in.  Nikos was great and looked after us very well.

The weather was disappointing with torrential rain, thunder and lightning on the Thursday afternoon and it was too cold to eat outside in the evenings.  We had three days of sun but it was chilly in the shade.  The storms during the winter have taken their toll on the beach and a man with a jcb and lorry was busy all week clearing up all the seaweed.  A couple who had been staying at Sidari said the beach there was non-existent.

Prices for food and drink were about the same as last year but there is going to be a big increase in VAT in July (which includes food) and prices are likely to go up.   The village was quiet and some restaurants and bars were empty.  The Mythica, however, was packed and people had to be turned away.

Our highlight of our week was a trip to Corfu town for a festival (6 euros each Stan Stefanos Travel).  The festival is held every year to celebrate the union of Corfu with the rest of Greece in 1864 and there was a great atmosphere in the town with brass bands marching through the streets followed by processions with a lot of the children dressed in traditional costumes.

We had a great week but wish the weather had been better,especially when we heard about the red hot weather you were having at home!

Jules:
Thanks everyone so far for the updates.

Waspman:
Hi all

Does anybody know what the standard breakfast consists of at The Romanza Hotel this year.  Last year (2009) it consisted of cereals, toast, cake, yoghurt and honey, boiled eggs and tea or coffee.  You could also have a full English breakfast etc, at a supplement.

I wondered if, due to the economic situation in Greece that it may have altered since last year

Any help on this would be very useful.

Mikee:
The description re the brekkie on the Tui website would suggest the same this year

tonyco1:
The breakfast above is standard for all the B&B and H/B places - always a supplement for a cooked brekkie!!
