San Stefanos ... Prices

<< < (2/3) > >>

swedebasher:
Government just announced huge increases in vat and excise duties
above what has already been done. That is without them starting to pay income tax at 5000 euro nstead of 12000 euro. Looks like we will need deep pockets next year.

Hi arebours
   
    Recently returned from our 7th stay in San Stef  and yes   prices are a little bit more than previous years but they are still very reasonable     As has been said before Mythos - Amstel is about 2.3  2.5 Euros
   We enjoyed (several ) LITRE carafes of house wine at The Waves at 6.5 Euros  and litres were 9 Euros at Mythica ,Beachcomber and The Olympia , Many places do a " Meal Deal " A main meal and a glass of wine at around 7.5 Euros
   and that's  very good value  We were eating swordfish with a glass wine  ,and complimentary coffee , at the Olympia for 7.5 Euros  Compare that with the same meal in Norwich a few days ago Swordfish was £14.50 and a medium wine was £ 4.20 a glass   
   One thing which hasn't been mentioned is the exchange rate When the Euro was introduced we were getting about 1.6 Euros to the pound now it's around 1.1 and that makes a huge difference.
  Having said that I think prices will be a little more next year  There are many things which are priceless however  The Greek way of life. the Greek people  San Stefanos sunset , the beach and sea

   One certain way to save money is not to buy a doughnut from that dreadful man on the beach !

Just to show the comparison, in Goa 2 weeks ago, Linda and I had a three course meal,
around 10 drinks, 2 beers and eight double shorts with mixers, and paid less then £10 -
but the down side is Beaches in Goa are nowhere near as clean as in Corfu, and it's pretty third-world in a lot of areas.
I will say the sea food in Goa is fantastic though!
Prices in Mumbai and Delhi were closer to UK prices, but similar to Ag. Stefanos.

Hi tonyco1

    Sounds like my kind of meal     Was there any food included ?

Lesley:
We went to Kerala, South India and prices for drinks there were very expensive more than UK and certainly more than Ag Stefanos as Kerala unlike Goa is a dry state (also unknown to us at the time, oops didn't do my homework) and you had to buy drinks 'under the table' which came in coffee cups and bottles of beer wrapped in newspaper, whilst sitting at the shacks on the beach.  However in our hotel a bottle of a simple Zinfandel Rose was almost 50 euros as this was served above table in wine glasses by the bottle!!!!! Loved Kerala but if we return to India it would definately be back to Goa.  Tony we found Bogmalo Beach (south Central) very clean although the sea cloudy but this was because of the time we went which was end of Monsoon so in Oct/Novcember the sea tends to be more cloudier then say later on in the season after Xmas time. Loved the beach shacks and the fresh fish and the lifestyle in general in Goa though and found Bombay a bit more like a busy rush hour at Oxford Circus tube but in the heat.......
