First Time to San Stefanos

[rickyishere]

Only 11 days to go and we land in Corfu, its our forst visit to Corfu and allready we feel at home due to the number of web sites and nice people we have been in touch with, looking forward to it and to watching England play while we are there, just hope we keep up the winning streak!!!!.
Any tips for newcomers?  And is the ATM by the Thomas Bay Hotel still full and working?

Hi Rickyishere - welcome to the forum!!
It will soon be Rickyisthere!!
No reports have come in to say it's not working, and it would be noticed!!
It worked well this year in July when we were there! Seems to be filled more often this year!

You won't have any problem watching England play, loads of venues will have their TV  on that channel,
notably, Condor, Athens Bar, Barras, Bar38, and many more!!

Any Tips? Enjoy it, talk to the Locals - you will be a friend for life and they will always remember you!
Where are you staying?
Don't forget the Mozzie stuff!!
Try some local restaurants, Mythos, Ozzie Oils, Little Prince, Sunset, Two Stars, Beachcomber Bistro,
Olympia, Zorba's - in fact they are all great!!

We are actualy staying at the Thomas Bay, not far to walk to the ATM, but nice to know its working as it means we dont need to carry much leaving England.

I would suggest you take english money with you as well - save on charges!!
and use the free safe deposit box at Thomas Bay!
They will change it in reception or at any travel shop!
Great Choice Thomas Bay - Say hello to Christos - the grey haired tall waiter with a booming voice - great sense of humour - tell him Tony and Linda say hello - also to Nikos (and Heather) who is Bar Manager, married to Heather!
All lovely people!! We have known Nikos since he was a kid workinhg the beach beds and his dad Theo took us on his fishing boat around the islands!!

Thomas Bay ATM ate my sister's card on Friday so best to have some back up.

There are 2 ATMs at Corfu Airport to your right as you come out from luggage carousels.

Just ask for "card-on-a-plate", about as tough as plank steak!! LOL

Definitely worth taking money (euros) for at least a few days so you can estalish where is best to change cheques or sterling.

Do you think it makes a great deal of difference either way? I'm not sure it does,certainly not enough to make or break a holiday
