Having withdrawal symptoms!

(1/2) > >>

Bee:
I really must get back to San Stefanos as I'm having serious withdrawal symptoms.  My last visit was in October 2008 and I stayed with a friend at the Thomas Bay Hotel.  Having retired now and had two major holidays, one to Australia and the other to Texas, I feel the pull of SS once again.

I am a repeat offender, as I have been to the resort twice a year since about 1983  :P  I love it, and, as I'm a lone lady traveller I have always felt so safe as I got to know so many of the locals, Brits and Corfiots alike :)

In 1997 I let my home, sold my car, quit my job and moved over to San Stefanos for a year.  I stayed in Spiradoula Villa on the harbour road (hence my help request about the villa) and settled into a lovely life.  It is so easy to live there and make friends and I miss it so much.  I hope to be able to go back in 2013, but Thompsons don't want singles and I need accommodation on the level not too far from the beach as I'm not as mobile as I used to be.  Being a pensioner I am on limited funds, but I am determined to find somewhere to stay that I can afford :D

Kalispera to you all

Bee - you obviously know the old village. You might want to think about contacting Spiros at Nafsika, who has some private rooms.

Having spent six weeks there this year, I can safely say that it would be a great place for singles to stay because it does become a friendly little community, and it's about as close to the beach as you can get apart from Margaritas. We made lots of friends this year - including some singles - many of whom had been back time after time.

Just a thought.

Bee, we have also been going since 1983 as well, our first visit there (and every year since).
You look very familiar, even though we have all changed over the years, we are sure we have seen you there.
Forget Thomson's, and go independently, via Easy Jet or one of the others.
Lots of places to stay there that welcome singles.
Get a quote from all airlines for both a return trip, and also two separate single journeys.
Thomson's are known for having cheaper (two  x single) flights, than a return for example,
There are lots of studio apartments around the older area, that would suit you if you can't book your first choice.
(By the way, they were still being rented out this July), Jimbo's idea is sound as well.
If you need any assistance a few of us including Lesley (who lives there), can put you in touch with various options.

Bee:
Thanks guys for your replies and I will take it all on board.  I'm not so bothered about the flight prices, it's mainly the accommodation as I would like to stay for two weeks.

Tony:  I have sent you a private message ;)  and I will contact Lesley re Spiradoula Villas.

Oh by the way - Kalimera! :)
