Abandoned Hotel ?

(1/3) > >>

Cheddar:
Morning All,

Returning to Ag Stefanos for the 3rd time (in 3 yrs - unheard of for us - but we're hooked !) in 5 weeks time, so thanks to all for keeping us up to date with all the news and views - informative and entertaining.

Can anyone tell me (just curiosity really), what the story is with huge, apparently abandoned hotel, which is just off "The Strip" past Yiannis Grill / Silver Moon Bar on the right as you head towards the hill.

When we were in San Stef last year I walked up the overgrown road and it certainly looked out of action, but also in relatively good shape as if it had been in use maybe 8 to 10 years ago ? But I have never seen it mentioned on this forum.

As I said can't wait to get back, love the place despite on the first visit not being too sure whether I did for the first 2 -3 days. My favourite spot is having an early evening beer or 2 (whilst waiting for my infinately better half to join me) at El Gecco and watching the resort come to life - bliss !

Check out "Corfu, abandoned hotel (Sunny Bay) in San Stefanos" on YouTube , for a look inside!

Never been used apparently.
We were told by an ex pat who is a long time resident of San Stef that it was wrangles over planning etc.
He also said that there is a darker side to the story.
When it became clear that it wouldn't open the local children had much fun using the windows etc as target practice. A blind eye was turned to any vandalism 'allegedly'

I used to stand and look over from the Tsaros pool this summer..... great view from up there of this hotel and appreciate how big it is

Gav / Iris,

Thanks for the reply - pure curiosity on my behalf really as I had no idea it was there and it's pretty well invisible from the road. The aerial view on Google shows how large the hotel is - off to YouTube for a look round the interior.

my understanding of the hotel is its owned by 3 german brothers who have a predicament to say the least. 1 wants to sell for ex amount of euros i.e  the best price available . 1 wants to sell asap and take what they can get and bro number 3 doesn't want to sell at all . hmmm that seems very tricky to me . not saying this is 100%true but from a very good knowledgable local resident . it was open in I think 2001 and was german mainly hotel . been there a few times with the kids for a nose and its like time stood still . bet it was a beaut first time built .
