Super post Winkie couldn't agree more  :)

Jules:
There is just something so intoxicating about the village and it's people. Always so welcoming. You could even travel alone but you wouldn't be alone for long. The village is so safe and no lager louts which is a huge plus.

Jimbo:
This is a personal thing. Over the last five years I've had three novelettes republished in "Best of the Year" anthologies.

They were all substantially written beside the pools at Little Prince or Nafiska. I heard recently that my story "Sky Leap - Earth Flame" had been selected for "Best British Fantasy 2014" and that was mostly written at Nafsika, with Chris occasionally bringing me a Mythos. Bless.

Most days of most weeks I have to run a software company and do your actual programming, providing tech support, and generally not having time to write. And that's probably like most people in the forum who have jobs they have to do and crap they have to deal with.

So, for me, Agios Stefanos is a special place where the everyday dross falls off, and I can write or just be myself without pressure. That's why I love it.

I agree with everything that everyone said. For some reason our little piece of paradise pulls us back each year. We went twice last year, and we went to Spain and Portugal, I don't even try to compare them, as they are completely different holidays (golf involved!) and of course we going back to our beloved SS this year.

1.   The people are wonderful
2.   gorgeous beach, never really that busy, you can always find a quiet spot
3.   I feel like I'm "home" especially sitting in Manthos's with a big glass of wine watching the world go by!
4.   Even the people in the supermarkets make you feel like your their friend
5.   Excellent restaurants, never had a bad meal yet
6.   Great walks
7.   Did I mention the people? :)
8.   Hardly any lager louts, or folk in football strips!!
9.   Nobody cares where your from, or what football team you support.
10. Never anyone standing outside their establishments trying to get you in with the promise of free shots etc (my biggest pet
      hate)
11. Good beer and wine
12. No all inclusive hotels, which can ruin the economy of any small town, hopefully it stays that way
13. Oh and the people are wonderful
14. I just cant put my finger on why we go back!! but whatever it is I hope it never changes:)

Rod:
Great posts.  You summed the place up Winkie, short and to the point, "Magical place and people."
