My wife and I have just retuned from a wonderful 2 weeks in San Stefanos.Wall to wall sunshine with temps in the mid thirties.Only one windy day that made us forsake the Romanza pool for the more sheltered conditions of the Kapetonios.
We tended to alternate our feeding habits between the Romanza and the village.One day lunch at the Romanza,dinner in the village.Next day lunch in the village, dinner at the Romanza.Our favourite lunches in the village were Glenns where among other things I had to have cheesy chips & bacon.My wifes favourite was the Tuna salad even though I had to help her to finish it as it is huge.Also the juice bar with Shane and Sandra where a cheese savoury bagette went down very well with a pot of tea.Not forgetting the Devonshire Cream tea if we were in the village at teatime.Tasty Corner ideal place for a Gyro combined with people watching due to its position on the T junction at the centre of the villageThe dinners in the village were split beetween,Ozzy Oils,Yiannis Grill,Beachcomber& Olympia.They were all excellent and I would find it difficult to choose between them.
We intended to do a lot of walking during our stay but the very hot weather made this impossible.We only did 3 walks .
1 Down to the village around by the tennis courts ,laundry and football pitch and back to the Romanza.
2 Arilas by road then back to the Romanza via the headland and the new cliff path.Coffee at the Gravia.Return to the Romanza via the Tsaros Pool,the beach and the path from the beach to the Romanza.
3 Around the headland From the Romanza to the beach up the slipway then to the headland via the Fantasea.Coffee at the Akrotiri then back via the road behind the Gravia,passing the Perros on the way through the village.
The highlights of our trip were.
1 Yes you guessed it the Romanza Greek night.The added bonus this year was the company of Shane , Sandra & Kerry with her children.They were accompanied by a number of visiting relatives from Australia with their families.It made for a brilliant Anglo,Autralian,Corfiot evening.
2 Our hosts Andreas & his mother Katie took myself &3 friends on a spear fishing trip to the uninhabited Island (except for rabbits) of Diaplo .The plan was to catch dinner but we only managed to catch enough for one starter.Andreas said I would make a great Kamaki.In Greek it refers to the spear gun.I found out later it is a name for young Greeks who ride around on their bikes chatting up the young female tourists. At my age I was flattered.He did explain the connection to a spear gun but I thought it was better left unpublished.
