Hi All!

Just back from San Stef yesterday :(  Had a fantastic time as always. Our first week was very quiet but busier the second week.  Weather wise, we only had a couple of cloudy days and rest of the time very hot and sunny. It was very humid for a couple of days but no storms whilst we were there,  Very warm in the evenings too.  The beach was fine.  It certainly seemed deeper down the 'nudie ' end but still okay at sunbed end, so obviously recovered from previous weeks. Euro rate was 1.18.  We didn't notice any large price increases from last year and we always eat out as we stay at Stamatis Apartments.  For those that hire cars, petrol was about 1.59.  For those who know Vangelis from Nafsika, he is not working there this year as his mother has recently died and he has decided not to work there this year but he is still doing his fishing.  Spent some time with Hilary from Bar 38, she is doing very well and Spiros is improving slowly.  Good news for all that know him!  She was hoping to open Bar 38 today but was not sure if it would be ready.  Looks a great place though, very chic!!  Word of warning for anyone with Thomsons.  Coach transfer in took 3 hours, driver appeared to get lost on our way in.  We got off bus and walked last few hundred yards with our cases  as we were so cheesed off!  We were told by one of the hotel owners that Thomsons were using a new bus company and they were having problems with coach transfers.  We spoke to our rep and she was actively collecting complaint reports so she could put these forward to her Manager to try and improve the service.  We hoped for better things on our journey to airport.  Picked up at 7.50 am.  Went round San Stefanos then to Arrillas and ended back in San Stefanos at about 9 am just yards from our apartments! >:( Whole journey took about 2 and half hours!  Anyway hope you all have a good holiday when you get there!

I certainly hope they have sorted the transfers out before we go end of August or they will be having to stop for sick stops as well

Bristle Boy:
We had a private transfer by taxi from and to Corfu airport (as we privately booked flights and accom) - arranged by Dimi at Fedra Mare - yes, it cost more, but was fab - arrived in 50 minutes from airport and the driver stopped on the outskirts of Corfu Town and bought us a Mythos each for the journey to SS - brilliant touch after only being on the island a few minutes!

ianandsarah:
What was the cost of the taxi to the resort?
