San Stephs New Wide Beach!

[lizzie]

  Wish i had found s/stef. then. They say there were no roads as we know them. Manthos had an evening to show a video from many years ago. Stefanos from the Magnet was about 14 he is 45 now.
 It was lovely to see how it was then . Manthos had dark dark hair and lots of it.
 Avliottes was much the same only the faces had changed.
                                   ahhhh ! the good old days before buses cars ect..

Yes in the early 80's the beach was wider, I then lived in Corfu town had a little Suzuki alto car and used to drive upto San Stefanos on a Sunday (my day off) and spend all day with my beach mat and umbrella and a good paperback, from Avliotes to San Stefanos used to take for ever as the road was mostly unmade and very uneven.  (Ok so now its still uneven and full of potholes). I still love to spend my Sundays on the same beach smaller but just as lovely.......and as i now live in Avliotes its a much quicker drive.

  Enjoyed the photos Tony - Noulas gran what a nice lady she was. Shame they are mostly the " boys" the greek women are always in the kitchen --nothing changes there then.

That's a bit unfair, Lizzie! There's a picture of Tony in the kitchen. Hey, Tony - that thing you're staring at in total bemusement's called a "spoon" -or in this case "koutali" 'cos it's a Greek spoon :-)

The picture you refer to was a rare one of me doing the washing up - Linda wanted proof!!

Thats the day we fly out as well,which airport are you flying from ?

[tonyco1]

Shame - Looks like we'll be like ships passing in the night - but have a great holiday !!

we fly from manchester about 6 pm i think,terrible flights both ways this year but everything else booked up,not looking forward to the journey at all,its even worse when we come home we land at 4am

[Rob.tc]

Not nice flights Dee! would rather have an early flight and get there in good time rather than a later flight and get there in the middle of the night, also a night transfer doesn't have a lot appeal. The later check out isn't that bad as it gives you most of the day there.
Stopping at the Nafsika how about you?

[deelightful44]

We are staying at the Athena,we stayed there last year,there are 15 of us that holiday together we all have 16 year old boys so it works well for us,this year although we booked in october we couldnt all get on the same day so 6 of them are having to travel on the 20th and 1 family is having to stay at the Barras,we no doubt will all meet at glens (aquarius bar ) to start the night off and usually end up back there as well.
