Gillywoo/Andy,

Great to get feedback.  I was actually thinking about posting a new topic regarding the new chinese restaurant.  Have you tried it?  That sounds great by the way, spending a long weekend in San Stef.  Did you just arrive and trawl the hotels or had you already booked?

Gill and Andy we are so jealous. Nearly did the same thing last weekend.

Now you've given me food for thought - I get 6 days off every 7 weeks - which can push up to 9 with 3 A/L days, and E/Jet fly most days!!
I could squeeze a crafty week in somewhere!
Who did you book the flights and accommodation with?

Gillywoo:
Hi everyone,

Its another lovely morning here and its already 22c.

Although we have only come for 3 days it seems longer than that probably because we come to San Stef so often.

We put the weekend together by flying out from Birmingham with Thomsons (£75each) and back with Thomas Cook  (£25 each!), these prices were well below those for Easyjet or Ryan Air and the flight times are great.

We booked the Tsaros through Thomsons and paid £33 for a two bedroom apartment, that works out at £5.50 a day each, remarkable good value.

Its aleways worth checking Thomson/Thomas Cook flight prices because at short notice they are often cheaper than Easyjet etc.

To get to San Stef we hire a car through Corfu Value Plus, it was £60 and even after we put petrol in that works out £30 cheaper than booking a taxi and you have a car for the weekend!

Other news, the Sunset Bar is open despite what I heard, the Olga is having a face lift and the Delphino Blue still isnt finished. The Havana Bar has also had a facelift and looks very smart.

We went to the Athina Pool yesterday and was greeted with big smiles and handshakes by George, I have never seen him so cheerful!

We are finding that our money is going much further because of the exchange rate so San Stef is really good value this year, Taverna prices are very good but supermarkets are still expensive.

Half Term will be expensive but Thomsons are now selling a week at the Theresas in late June for just £275 including breakfast and transfers, that really is fantastic value so why anyone would want to book a souless All Inclusive resort is beyound me.

Anyway, off to Arillas now to walk off the excess alcohol following last nights binge drinking at the Little Prince!

Yammas!

Andy

Thanks for the village up dates Andy. It is always nice to hear how things are over there. Enjoy the rest of your week end and as you have said a week end there can work out much cheaper than a week end in London. I'm sure this has given a few people food for thought. :)
