Just found this..... If Carlsberg did holiday reviews they would probably be like this
I wonder who wrote it?
We have been coming to San Stefanos many times over the last 25 years, but still feel like the kids we were the first time. We have stayed in most Hotels and Apartments over the years so have a balanced over-view. The local people are still great and are the secret of the resort, which is why over 80% of guests here are return visitors who come again and again.
Barras Apts. are older, but clean and as good as any in the resort. You will get good meals in the Resturant as well. Good friendly Staff, George the owner is great. I would book again if the price is right. We don't eat in our room - as thats no holiday, but eat around the resort. We think the best Resturant is the Olive Press run by Simone & George - they also run the Leonidis Apartments with very pretty gardens, (next to Nafsika Hotel). Another great place to stay, but the Olive Press is a must try experience - it's best to try and pre-book a Table as very popular. Try the new Bistro opposite as well - great menu. Also try Stellios at the Olympia resturant and the Sunset with live music on Saturdays. I don't like the Little Prince for food now as since it expanded there are so many tables the quality has nose-dived - but yes you get greek dancing to compensate. Opposite is Two stars which is very nice and best value - always full up - speaks volumes.
We Travelled with Thompsons again this year - 2007. When we looked - they had a sale weekend and it was easliy the best deal. Easy Jet will fly in 2008 instead of B A (GB Airways), but were too expensive for my 2008 holiday, hence the Thompsons booking - although I hate their Aircraft with tiny seat space. Our criteria now for San Stefanos is go for a good deal. We try to book somewhere that is nicely located with a good price. If you can get a good priced flight go independant - far better - as most ''private'' Apartments are of a similar superior nature in the resort. You then just need a transfer from the airport. We have stayed in many, many different Apt's and Hotels here, travelled independantly, and also with Thompsons, or with San Stefanos Travel - (a very good option - run by Noula - find it through searching Google).
Noula offers a travel service and has a cheaper mini bus transfer option as well, she has a large number of Apartments on her books and the service is better than Thompsons or Thomas Cooks.
If you like Music, a night at the Condor is a must - good for all ages - the Owner Stefanos ensures a good time. The Athens Bar gives a good welcome, better for the younger set. Try the fairly new bar on the approach to the Athina Hotel run by Glen - nice place.
The Beach is the Best!! go for a walk under the cliffs, a few Nudists will be around but the walk is great. Its a safe crime free resort good for families and couples - don't book if you want a singles holiday unless it's just to chill out.
