First time in Corfu

(1/3) > >>

mike30542:
We've been to a number of Greek islands but 8 June 2012 will begin our first visit to Corfu. My wife & I (mature couple) will be staying at Little Prince Apartments for 2 weeks. We enjoy lazing around the pool during the day with maybe a mid-morning stroll for coffee & going out for dinner at a taverna. We also enjoy taking part in fun quizzes. Our favourite resort is Elounda (Crete) - we've been there 6 times & are due to return in September. What do we like about Elounda? - laid back resort, friendly locals, a pretty harbour, enough tavernas that you can eat in a different one every night of a 2 week holiday (we actually have 4 or 5 favourites that we return to 2 or 3 times during those 2 weeks), bars with no rowdyism or drunks spilling out onto the streets. San Stefanos looks like it will be a good fit for us but any recommendations on where to go & what to avoid will be most welcome.

You could have been describing AG. Stef and my husband and myself there.
Our days are spent almost exactly as that, and we also enjoy a fun quiz.
Keep an eye on the notice board outside the Thomas Bay Hotel, as that will
announce when their quiz takes place.
We're there from the 4th June for two weeks so I'm sure our paths will cross
at some point.
The only place we avoid is the Condor at night as we're not fans of tribute acts, but last
year others we met were raving about them.
We try not to miss the Nafsica for dinner, one of our favourites, and The Waves taverna on the beach is
perfect for a light lunch.
From what I've heard you'll certainly enjoy the Little Prince.

Jimbo:
Ag Stef is small and pleasant. Little Prince is a great place to stay, and Dimitris, Pippina and Michalis will make you instantly welcome.

There's really nowhere to avoid. Switch off and relax.

You could try Speros' quiz at Nafsica. Never actually taken part, but overheard it whilst eating a wonderful meal. Speros is a bit of a polymath, and it had some seriously hard questions!

With a little bit of effort you can take your morning walk up to the top of the south promontory and have coffee in Akrotiri - beautiful bar with fantastic views. And, of course, Ag Stef has a superb beach - it's a goodly walk from one end to the other.

Most of us in the forum will be amazed if you don't get hooked by the subtle magic of the place. It's hooked us!

We visited Elounda (Crete) in 2010 and then Aghios Stefanos (Little Prince) in 2011, enjoyed both and you will too. We are returning to the Little Prince this July / August - a first for us! - having previously picked a new island every year.

Gill C:
We have also holidayed in Elounda several times and loved it. You will find San Stefanos just as enjoyable and relaxing only difference there are some hills to walk up but the views are worth every step.As for tavernas you will be spoilt for choice.
