Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > Out and About

Trips out and about

<< < (3/7) > >>

IrisG:
We did the Albania trip a couple of years ago.
The ruins at Butrint were fascinating, but we felt a little uncomfortable
during the free time in Saranda, lots of young males just hanging around aimlessly. So we were glad we'd paid the extra to visit the heritage site.

Jimbo:
The boat trip to Corfu Town is one we will do again. It's only about half an hour to the harbour near Acharavi on the coach, then a nice cruise down the east coast and a few hours to explore the town.

The boat stops on the way back for a (much needed) swim.

Check the trips on San Stefanos Travel, buy from any one of the three goddesses, and enjoy!

Richard/Jackie/Nathan:
We had the same thing in Albania with lots of beggars giving us grief. Jimbo is right about the swim on the way back from Corfu Town - it was much needed when we did the trip last year!!

Dupnica:
 It's all very well getting the local bus into Corfu Town because in San Stefanos you are the first ones on,but getting back is another thing

 when there are about 200 people trying to get on to a single decker coach (only English people queue) we ended up getting a taxi back

 rather than risk being trampled in the rush. Believe me you are far better booking with San Stefanos travel,costs 10 or 12 euros which

 works out cheaper in the end.

Dupnica:
 I went on the trip to Albania two years ago and didn't have any problems with beggars.There were a few young boys selling cheap bracelets

 at Butrint but the weren't a nuisance and didn't persist when politely told "no thank you".  The drive from Saranda to Butrint was interesting

 and a real eye opener,I don't want to say too much or spoil the surprise for people who may be planning to go.

 I would advise you to take a few sandwiches and bottles of water,the "ample buffet" which was promised was neither ample or very nice.

 Having said all that it was an interesting day and I'm glad I made the trip.
