Hi,

After the longest winter I can remember the temptation to come out to San Steph was just too much so last Sunday we flew out with Easyjet from Luton.

Sunday night we stayed in Corfu Town which was buzzing with pre Easter celebrations, next we booked a Villa in Kassiopi with Agni called The Doctors House, it was lovely although the pool was so cold it was for the hardy only.

The weather has been amazing, one advantage of being interested in the weather is that I knew the spell of hot weather in Corfu was coming so was able to book flights/accommodation/hire car in advance. Every day has been sunny and between 26c-29c, its a bit cloudier today but still 27c.

So this morning we arrived in San Stef and booked into the Little Prince, as always the Apartment is fantastic. Until about 2pm we had the Village to ouselves although the coaches are starting to arrive now.

So whats changed?

The Village

A new Restaurant has opened up where Mamma Mias used to be, it does Pizza, seafood and Steak based meals and looks nice inside. San Stephano car hire has moved to a new building where the old gift shop was and the old San Stephano car hire shop is undergoing some type of renovation.

So far the Little Prince, 2 Stars and Yiannis are open but most of the others are still close. The Greek Easter this weekend is leading to a delayed opening for many Taverna and there is no sign of life at Zorbas or Olympia.

The Beach

Oh dear, what a mess, sea weed everwhere and no sign of sun beds. The beach has lost a lot of sand and is very narrow past the Havana Bar, the local auithority is trying to clear the beach but the wet winter has turned the sand into quick sand so they have their work cut out!

Arillas

Even quieter than San Steph although tourist were arriving as we left, the beach near the Jetty isnt too bad but under the cliffs it has vanished, hopefully as in San Steph the beach will grow and dry out over the coming weeks.

Tonight the few people staying at the Little Prince will be gathering for opening night and I imagine a cosy atmosphere will ensure!

More to follow over the next few days as the Village 'Opens Up'!
