Hi all

We went to San Stefanos for the first time this year and stayed at the Sunset Taverna   We had a fantastic holiday and coulnt fault it and had one of the best holidays ever.  Sprios and Maria and their family really looked after us, as they did all their guests.  Nothing was too much trouble for them.  The rooms were extremely clean with plenty of clean towels.  The beds were very comfy. Sprios picked us up from the airport and arranged transport back for us.
The restaurant seemed to be very quiet but I think it is because it is at the end of Stan Stefanos and people either pass it on the way in or out.  It is a shame as the food is excellent, the surroundings are fantastic and Sprios and his family go the extra mile to please you. You wont be disappointed if you go.
The rest of our holiday was really good.  We enjoyed all of the restaurants we visited Zorbas, Mythica, Olympic, Little Prince, Sunset Taverna  but the two we least enjoyed were Ozzy Oils (the singing on the bbq night was a bit too much for us) and Nafisca - we found the food to be really salty at Nafisca but that may of just been the chef on the night as I know from the reviews this always gets a good review but all our food was salty and that of the other people on the table opposite us.
We had a fantasic night at Teresa's BBq probably the best BBq we have been to in the Greek Isles.
The beach was really good but it was quite windy when we were there and really easy to walk to from the Sunset Taverna - no steep hills.We did a lot of the walks over to Arillis, Olive Groves and even walked to Afionias and went to the restaurant Dionysis (think that is how it is spelt). The views were breathtaking and the food fantastic. We met lots of lovely people whilst we were there.  we will definitely be back next year - got the bug now like most of you!! :D

Hi sunshine, we are definetly going to try the sunset for evening meals this year. I think you are right about the location, perhaps they need to think about some new marketing ploys to encourage the customers.
We have visited the restaurant in Afionas when we were staying in agios Georgios N. in 2006, brilliant views and lovely food. That was one hot day when we were there.
Thanks for the review.

Hi Lilly

it was very hot when we were there and the guy at the hotel told us it would take ten minutes to walk down to the two beaches that are back to back at the bottom of a rocky path.  It actually took us 30 minutes to walk down there and 30 minutes back it was a long slog but wouldnt do it again especially as we didnt stay down there for more than 10 minutes.

I agree that the Sunset could do with a marketing ploy especially as the whole Taverna has been revampted.  The inside is especially lovely with all the stone work on the walls and the toilets are like something out of a topclass hotel. Well worth a visit!!

Sunshinegirl,

Are you refering to the twin bays at Porto Timo? We visited there, took us about 50 minutes because we went the wrong way at first. Had a nice swim when we got there though, the climb back up the hill was a killer due to the heat.
I am vegetarian[hubby not], do they do a nice selection of veggie meals at the Sunset? Also is the restaurant a combination of indoor and outdoor seating?
We are going on the 20th August and it can't come quick enough.

Hi Lilly

Yes that was the beach - we didnt swim but could have done with a swim but didnt take towels with us.

Yes the Sunset will do veggie meals - they will do most meals to accommodate and yes it is a combination of inside and outside seating.  It is also nice to sit and have a drink outside by the fountain.
