Its funny how places come and go and some are soon forgotten until we get a little reminder like in this quiz. Thats what makes this site so good. 
I agree - this quiz made me think back and remember the very first year we went, we had a tight budget and no holiday booked.
We saw a Sunday Mail advert for a last min-booking, (el-cheapo), we arrived (just us two - kids left with mum), on a Greek Connection holiday, (it went Bust a few years later), Katie was the tour rep (Michaelis's wife - Karmini bar).
It was 1983, it was 05:00 in the morning off a night flight, there seemed to be nothing there.
(We had done Majorca the year before), I remember saying - "
this is a mistake - this is going to be our worst ever holiday", We then found out it was the best place we had ever been to, and in those days there was just the Golden Beach Htl, Nafsika Htl, Manthos Taverna, Sunset Taverna, Barras (different name) and the Mini Market - with the attached Margarittas Cafe' bar.
That was it apart from an old VW Camper Van on the Beach called the Kantina for snacks and Water Sports, including Windsurfing, where a very young boy (pre-teen), made everyone look silly with his expertise - that was Leon & Capt. Nikos ran it all.
No Beach beds then either!! We went to the Mini Market "Greek-Night" and Vasillias Spit roast a whole lamb over an open fire.
He put slits in it and inserted whole cloves of garlic. It was and still is the best Lamb we have ever had.
The Greek dancers that night were just the locals, with Capt. Nikos and his brother Spiros as the main attractions, and they were still the best we ever saw dance on Corfu, Nikos did Zorba's Dance and he was great at it.
Funny how such an impromptu night like that can burn such great memories, and make a lasting impact - we couldn't wait to get back the next year and we brought the kids as well - and we have all been going back ever since and seen it grow into what it is today.
San Stefanos attracts a certain kind of people and I guess we are those people - the idiots seem to steer clear thankfully!!!
