Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > Where to eat out in San Stefanos?

Aquarius Bar

<< < (9/10) > >>

Jimbo:
I take your point, Sandra, so let's imagine we're having this discussion in the bar!

We quite often take food to eat on the beach for lunch. We boil some eggs and buy spanakopita in the bakery and tomatoes in the supermarkets. Other days we grace the Havana Bar with our presence.

Presumably the much-maligned Italians are buying something somewhere. The ferry from Brinidisi to Corfu takes 7.5 hours, and a bus from Corfu Town would be a couple more. These are hardly day-trippers. They must be staying somewhere. I haven't so far seen any 737s from Palermo landing on the nudist beach, although I have seen a few German Jumbos. They are then paying 7.5 Euros per brolly and beds. Unless they're carting vast quantities of salami in with them they have probably been to a shop.

On a typical Sunday large numbers of Greeks arrive from Corfu Town. They don't usually hire sunbeds - they camp beside them and between them. They frolic, shout, and spray sand everywhere. They shout a lot. They have free-range kids. They play football and sometimes the ball hits an obese Brit lying like a half-cooked pink turkey on the beach. Should we ban the Greeks from their own beach?

That's life. That's beaches. If you don't like this you might as well hire a boat and go off and find a quiet cove, or stay in the hermetically-sealed environment of the Delfino Blu.

Lilly you were not there so how can you make comments, Stressed and I were there we saw what was happening other people made the  same comments.
I am entitled to make comments about what I found , firstly dogs are not allowed on greek beaches and I most certainly do not want dogs running around me with sticks in their mouths chased by over zealous owners making prats of themselves as I said previously,  secondly, I don't mind other nationalities otherwise I would not be in another country and yes there were some very nice families as there always is but the beach was swamped.I am WELL aware there other gobby brits they do tend to stand out and unfortunately you never know who is in a restaurant/taverna until you are sitting down so you make a mental note if you see them steer clear.
The point of this post was to do with sunbeds towels etc and the fact that it was a problem.I have never seen this happen on the beach and if it's going to be a trend we'll have to camp out overnight.... These people did not pay for sunbeds it was on the sand, Ok you may say you don't pay for sand you can sit where you like. As it stands at the moment on the beach everyone is being pushed  further down  as there is more sunbeds than ever which has a knock on effect on those who do not want to coralled in.It's just good manners to be considerate to others.

Jimbo:
People of all nationalities pay for sunbeds on the beach. It's first come first served. In May, June, July, September and October there are always plenty of sunbeds even at 11am. So either go earlier to the beach or go earlier to resort. Simples!

lilly:
Joan, why would I need to be there to make a comment on your post? I thought that was the idea of a forum, someone makes a post and others are allowed to comment on that post, not much point of a forum if people are not allowed to comment on other peoples posts. Just like the public beach this is a public forum , open to all.

We went to St Andrews beach last week and there were English families everywhere. It was annoying as it was clear they had all been to Mountain Warehouse in the morning cos there were no ski hats or scarves left for us Scots to keep warm whilst playing on the sand.

It was awful so it was.
