New to San Stefanos

[Jules]

My husband and i are also looking forward to our maiden visit to St Stephanos in July, and are staying at the Hotel Athena. Any one know what it's like?? It's our first holiday for 23yrs without the children- we are sooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!

Hi and welcome Vanessa, we have stayed there a couple of times, lovely Hotel, nice staff, great pool - right on the beach as well,
and not to forget the Pool Snack/drink bar manager who never smiles - you get a prize if you make him crack a smile!!

Seriously - nice rooms - AirCon (small charge), carpets - and in the hallways as well!!
Sea view is best - look for my posting of U-Tube videos - one on the Athina!
You may find the Half-board meals a bit "same-y", budget for and have a few nights eating out around the resort - worth it!!
You will love this resort!! Try having a drink at Glen and Maria's place next door - the Aquarios Bar!
When in July are you going - we will be there from the 3rd for 2 weeks!

Watch out Vanessa - hes trying to blag drinks lol!!!

Thanks for all that! Hotel sounds pretty good- have booked a room with a sea view, so shall enjoy those sunsets! I shall also make it my mission to get the barman to smile! We leave for San Stephanos on 10th July- 1 week. We plan to eat out a couple of times- any suggestions?

Its the guy in the pool bar/cafe' - you will work it out as soon as you see him - he is a character!
You'll get lots of eat out ideas -
Definitely the Beachcomber Bistro - Fantastic food and setting! Book to get a table!
Little Prince for a big menu and entertainment while they serve
Olympia for its big menu and good food.

{FIRST APOLOGIES TO ANY NEW COME'RS WHO THINK WE ARE ALL MAD!! - IT'S THESE GIRLS!!}
Nothing wrong with an old Cock!! Experience always wins!!
I always remember the story of the Young Cock and the Old Cock walking along the top of a hill,
The Young cock looked down the hill and saw a dozen chicks below.
He said to the old cock, lets run down and mate one of those chicks!
The old cock replied, no - lets walk down and mate the lot!! Now thats experience!! LOL

VANESSA  I would just like to point out one thing regarding the Aquarius Bar............ This concerns the Athina.............................. We like to sit outside the bar from 23.00 onwards and try to guess whether people going back to the Athina are BAR or BED.. ... If they turn right they go to the bar. Left and its up the wooden hills to Bedfordshire. From this we decide whether to have a refill. If they go to the bar its a refill....... Suffice to say we've never been drunk in San Stef!    As you can see it is a lovely quiet hotel!

In our 40's .... Is that chest or waist measurement or possibly IL? LOL   English bit amusing too?  Big meet (for first and possibly only time) July 4th at Ozzy Oils at 8.30pm. All welcome now if I remember Tony is the grey one from top to toe!!! I have my secret outfit (no yellow) just to give Tony a laugh and photo op!!! Zimmer?? That's obvious!! Watch him walk! After that he's probably a female LOL
