hi . my family & I,wife & 2 girls aged 12 & 14 years old are going to san stefanos for first time on 6 August for 2 weeks.

Wonder if anyone could be so kind as to offer some advice on 1 or 2 subjects- not sure what to do cash wise as normally use a euro travel money card but for some reason got ripped off last yr in Tenerife so don't want to use it again & have heard there is only 1,not always reliable cash machine in San stefanos, thought I would take mixture of few hundred cash(euros) & few hundred sterling travellers chqs & use my debit/credit cards for the rest. Is this best option cos deffo don't want to carry massive amounts of cash as normally spend around 2k for fortnight?  How many Tavernas/restaurants are there in the village & can you generally pay for meals/shopping by debit/credit card or do some only take cash. 

We have hired car through San stefanos travel & would like to know what roads are like & is it easy to get around & are there plenty petrol stations? Planning on maybe visiting Paleokatistra, Kassiopi & few other places & taking in a boat trip whilst out there.

Any help/advise much appreciated. 

don:
The roads are disgusting this year. Great swathes of tarmac have disappeared from the road running to Arilas and this is a main route into the village.

Jimbo:
There are also some drivers who are insane even by Greek standards. Joe (Little Prince Bar) had to ride his scooter off road into a tree last night on his way down to watch the footy. Scooter damaged, nasty bruise on Joe's shin. Driver overtaking on the wrong side of the road round a blind bend.

Gavlah1973:
Not been (yet!) but a lot of regulars have said that a percentage of Tavernas have stopped taking cards. Either by saying that they dont or claiming that the card machine is broken.

Since the economic downturn, cash is king!

Waspman:
Don't worry, The Romanza still accepts debit and credit cards with no 2% commission
