Hi All

New to the forum and looking forward to returning to San Stef in May for our second visit. Our first trip was in June 2007, staying at the Little Prince and we fell in love with the village and indeed Corfu itself.

We had a memorable holiday and everyone we met in the village was very friendly and we were made very welcome at the Little Prince. Used San Stefanos Travel for a few excursions and rented a car for a few days from the car hire place in the main street, name forgotten, sign of old age perhaps!

Anyway, really looking forward to our hols but wondering what to expect temperaturewise in May, we arrive on the 8th. Also what changes in the village since were last there?

Hi Gordon and Beryl,
Welcome to this site. As you will find all on here are very friendly and helpful. Not sure poersonally what the weather is like in May but if you look on this link it will give you the weather from previous years for Corfu.

This is a good weather site and if you look I have saved it to My last year for you but you can go back to any dates for a good few years back.

This following link is for SS weather but is only the short range forecast.

Since your last visit in 2007 there have been some new shops built and I'm not sure if the hair and beauty shop was there in 2007. Its called Monroes. Anyway it will add to your excitement to see all new things for yourselves and maybe you can report back to us oldies!!!!!!!!.
If you need any more help at all just ask away. :)

We were there in the last two weeks of May in 2008, weather was iffy the week before we arrived - but was fabulous for the whole of our stay. May is usually good!!

Welcome Gordon & Beryl

I have been the last 2 Mays (and Septembers !!!) and have to say its really nice in May.

May 2006 i had a better tan after one week than i did that September, last year was also good. It can be a bit breezy but that just makes it easier to lie out in sun all day !!!

Also, the island is very pretty at this time, with blossoming trees and flowers, its like Spring.

The village is also just coming back to life for the new season so everyone is gearing up for the summer and glad to be back at work i think. i always find it nice to be some of the first visitors.

Am sure you will enjoy yourselves.

We agree - May should be good - it usually always is - and not too hot.
We did find that not everything was fully up and running during May - i.e. Water sports and a couple of restaurants.
but what the heck!!
Most things were open - just not all the entertainment - but we had a great time!!
Have a good holiday!!
