Hi gavlah, I think that you would like Thassos, it has alot to offer and there are lots of stunning beaches and beautiful scenery, I know you enjoyed the quad bikes in SS and thassos is only 90km all round so if you wanted you could do it in a day or like us take 3 days visiting all the beaches/villages etc.
When are you going to Cyprus?

Joan, we stayed in Golden beach at Skala Panagia which is the quieter end although Skala Potima at the other end of the bay is a little more built up it is still another small resort.

Gavlah we too had great meals in FV we went to the steakhouse called El Torro many times. Each time we went one of the waiters managed to either smash several plates or cause a catastrophe in some way, it made some entertaiment.We also went to the harbour during the day to the fish restaurant the one where you sit alongside the wall, I have never seen such tiny squid but they were delicious as was the tuna.I'm glad we went definately going back again.

Lilly thanks for that I've heard Golden Beach is lovely, will do more research at some point just to get an idea.

We did a Caribbean Cruise a few years back - (which is a pretty decent holiday), but in spite of the fantastic locations we stayed in, which to be honest -- some can really put Ag. Stef in the shade - - view wise - however, when it comes down to a chill-out holiday on the friendliest village on earth -
it's Ag' Stefanos for us every time.
I remember sitting on beaches in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Bondi, Tamarrama, Manley in Aussie, the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, various in Florida and the USA, the canaries, Egypt, etc etc - - around the world - - pretty as they are with swaying palm trees - - you just don't get that relaxed feeling of "I belong here", like you do in a few parts of Europe,
especially in Ag.Stefanos! - It's just not set up in the same way - all feel far too commercial or too controlled.
Yes we will keep visiting other places to explore new venues, but then maybe we were just lucky to find Ag.Stefanos back in the eighties,
when it all developed from very little - yet kept that special ingrediant.

It sounds so wonderful Tony. It really is the type of place that Malc and I love.
I've always liked Greek villages where the locals are friendly and really are pleased to see you again.
There is a small village in Vassilikos on Zakynthos, which we've been to 4 times and it is the same sort of atmosphere.
Can't wait to get Agios Stefanos.

Denise - if you want a friendly chilled out holiday, then Aghios Stefanos (San Stefanos), is a brilliant place to go.
Just take the time to chat to any of the locals and they respond really well - you may well end up as adopted family!! LOL

We too were first timers to Ag Stefanas in June this year. Always said that we would never go back to the same place place twice. But we have been converted and we will be back on June 8th next year. Never could see why people returned year after year but we do now.
We stayed at Tsaras and loved every minute of our stay. 
Everyone was so friendly and made us welcome from day one.
Can't wait to back there.
A huge thank you to all at tsaras for making our holiday the best ever!!
Tell Dave and Edie we will see them next year. They said we would be back.

We still get excited, and we've been going since we were young in 1983, also welcome to the forum from myself and Linda as well.

I think that by the end of the first week you will start to get that warm feeling this place will give you! Enjoy!! - - - - we will.
Planning next holiday for this year now - -can't decide what to do though!
