On The First Plane Out!

Arrived in San Steph yesterday on the first Thomson plane of the season having booked a very cheap last minute holiday.

Staying at the Romanza is which is superb as usual and made all the brighter as Vasillis from Zorbes is now working behind the bar.

Weather was sunny and warm when we arrived but today it's cloudy and wet as some weather fronts go through, forecast however is better with warm and dry weather from Monday.

Last night San Steph was very quiet with many Tavernas still closed, we ate at the Little Prince with about 6 other couples and all the bars were closed by midnight so a night cap was had at the Romanza.

As Hippopots said all the locals are busy cleaning and painting to be ready by Monday when the next influx of visitors arrive. Some changes to note, both the old Chinese and the premises next door are being painted so something must be opening in both. El Greco bar has been expanded into the old gift shop which is now located opposite the Little Prince, El Greco is looking very smart with a new outdoor bar area which will be nice on a summers evening.

Manthos was open last night and a new bar is opening above the Mistral Taverna nearby so that end of town is getting busier.

Now the beach and oh dear what a mess, it has suffered serious erosion near Manthos and is only 6 feet wide in places, I couldn't believe how much of the beach has vanished near Waves as well. The beach near the Havana hasn't been as badly affected and is similar to last year. Two diggers were on the beach moving sand from the flower bed area in front of the Athina onto the beach to make it an easier slope. Outside the Mango Bar the beach is a disaster and will require some work to get it ready for sunbeds.

Talking to Dimitris in the LP last night he is expecting a very busy season as bookings are well up on last year so hopefully it will be a prosperous year for visitors and locals alike in season 2014.

Will post more reports as the opening up continues.
