me and my partner with our 5 yr old are going on the 14 June to the Kapetanios.  My inlaws recommeded stan stef as they have been several times and will be there at the same time. A few questions if I may:

-  Good restaurants and is there a takeaway that does giros with the three chips stick out (class I know but a great snack).
-  A play park -rides etc?
- this our fourth time to Corfu  (Kavos then Acharavi and - maybe Kavos twice lol We were young)
- Prices - I guess same as Edinburgh to eat out?
- Any good for snorkelling?

Cheers

Paul

BYW - deleted last post as i worded it wrong about the inlaws! Meant not eating at the same hotel every night!

2 places for good Giros... Tasty Corner by the T-junction and Yiannis on the main street Not a lot to choose between them.
Restaurants......... Only ever had one bad meal during 40 weeks spent in San Stef. All pretty much the same standard Greek fare but for that something different I would suggest Ozzy Oils and the beachcomber.
For snorkelling "Bubblehead & Kipper" run a dive centre in the old part of the village. If my other half recovers from a bad shoulder injury he will be out with thm this year.  Ray and Bev are also lovely people.
Childrens play areas, we know nothing about. Mistral had one but it is now closed down.
Prices.... most charge about €6.50 for a main course.... Cheap compared to Canaries that we've just come back from. Have to say Edinburgh is pricier than where we live but San Stef is cheaper than here!
Drink is about the same as here.

Hope that helps.

And I would like to welcome you to the Forum and confirm the above.
Also include the Mythica Restaurant, (just around the corner from the Barras),
we think it's on a par with the Beachcomber and a "must visit" Place.
As Sandra says, the Restaurants in the resort are all very good quality, you can't go wrong!!

PS
Sandra - Typo alert (this is one of our little forum games - and we all do it!!).
There is an "E" in them!! - - Gotch'a!! LOL
If my other half recovers from a bad shoulder injury he will be out with thm this year.

Hi Pauljaffa
Welcome to the forum.I would like to endorse what the other posts have said regarding restaurants in the village.In my opinion all of them are of good standard and excellent value for money.I am also of the opinion that the Beachcomer,Ozzie oils and Mythica are the pick of them.I have never stayed at the Kapetonios but have used its facilities on numerous occassions and have always been made very welcome.I use it on very windy days due to its sheltered location.My hotel is on the cliff top and exposed to the elements making sunbathing a draughty business during strong winds.
I am certain you will love San Stefanos as we all do.This year i will be staying at the top of the hill from you at the Romanza.It will be my 10th visit and my 13th year running to San Stef.Having said that i am still a novice compared with a lot of regulars.The Romanza has a small childrens play area but i am not aware of any others.Perhaps other members are .We are in San Stef. from the 18th June for 2weeks so we could well come across you as we pass the Kapetonios as we make our daily trips to the village.

I forgot to mention, in the evenings, try the Gladiator Bar, almost at the end of the road down the hill.
We had some good evenings there last year, with our young Grandson.
They have a dedicated play area, climbing frame and "pit" full of plastic balls, brilliant for the kids while the Adults go online,
play pool/snooker, or simply relax and listen to the background music, with a nice drink.
Invariably, this attracts other children of similar age groups, so they also make great new friends.
This is a lifesaver for bored children!!
Enjoy!
