The Beach was huge about 4 times the size, and NO SUNBEDS when I first went.
Capt Nikos used to drive his Camper van onto the beach and it was the only choice for lunch snacks on the beach.
(except the Waves Taverna.
The Waves Taverna had the only international telephone in San Stefanos and mobiles were nowhere to be seen in 1983
The only places open then (and very few apartments either), were Sunset Taverna, What is now called Barras Apartments,
Margaritas Bar / Restaurant & Mini Market, Nafsika Hotel, Manthos Taverna (- before it was extended), and Golden Beach Hotel...
and it was brilliant!!!
