--- Quote from: Welshone on June 15, 2009, 03:04:03 PM ---Just returned from a fortnight in San Stef our second visit. Warmly welcomed by Nikkos from Tsaros - first Mythos on Thannassis at the bar. Hugs and kisses at the Little Prince - Michael even remembered which week we came last year. Everybody so friendly and helpful everywhere.

However.... the 'Welcome Meeting'. The rep was pleasant enough, but gave the impression that all she wanted to do was sell her trips. Here are some of her answers to questions from San Stef first-timers:

"Can we walk to Arillas along the cliff?" "No, the donkey track disappeared a long time ago - the only way to Arillas is by road." That morning we had walked up to the top of the cliff path overlooking Arillas to check out the new snack-bar, Gravia (excellent!) and watched people walk up and down the cliff path - and a few days later did the walk outselves -the cliff path is in a better condition than last year, even motor-bikes were going up and down it.

"You say the nearest pharmacy is in Avliotes - is there a bus to Avliotes?" "No, there is no bus to Avliotes, only to Sidari or Corfu Town." Of course the bust to Sidari and Corfu Town has to go through Avliotes! We did that a couple of times and walked back through the olive groves to San Stef.

"You say that you can see Albania from Kassiopi. Can't we also see Albania from San Stefanos?" "No, you can't see Albania from here." When it was pointed out to her that it is Albania we can see, she replied - well, Abania is a big island!

Its sad that people's enjoyment of their holiday can be reduced by misinformation from holiday reps. Needless to say, on the Thomson's questionnaire, in answer to the question "How would you rate the holiday rep, we answered "poor".

Terrible when an on-site rep just can't be bothered!!
You can indeed see Albania, often hidden in sea mist, you can see it in really good weather if you look north.
We have observed Albania for many years now from the beach!!

Makes you wonder where they get all of the information from that they give out - or do they just make it up as they go along hopeing that errors are not noticed. >:(
