:)hi everyone as anyone been and comeback yet?? just want to know roughly the prices of food and drink...had conflicting reports from other people who have come back from other islands...some good and some bad!!!? jusy need a good idea of what money to take,,,,will feel wierd on our own for the first time without kids!!!!!! yipeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) ;) ;)

Arh, that first holiday without the kids. At first you keep looking for them, looking at others with their kids, miss them. Then (after 5 minutes) your heart soars. You can read the whole blooming book if you want, you still have water/fizzy drink left when thirsty, you can eat cheaply and actually sit still and enjoy the wine, there is enough sun lotion left, you can swim and walk and eat and drink and laze all day. You can choose the restaurant you fancy. It's sad.............but you soon get over it. Enjoy!

:D :D :D thanks for that debra......so true me and hubby are havin a laugh here!!! ;)

Hi, just returned after a great week in San Stef, most places a beer is 2.50, ouzo 2.00 kids drinks/fanta lemon-orange 1.50
Meals seem to have moved up a little what was 8.00 for main course and a wine are now 9.00. But this is low season and may lower when more people are about
-
;)thanks for that! prices seem good to me....i.ll see in 4wks when i get there!!! ;D ;D
-
there until 8th... Will end up in Aquarius most nights. May see you there. Where you from Burnley, Birmingham, Scunthorpe or East London?
-
My friends Alan and Carole have just returned, they said that prices are similar to last year re: drinks.
Other friends said much the same. Glad the food prices are still reasonable.
The only neg/comment was that they felt the drinks in the Condor seemed a touch on the weak side.
Maybe the measure is lowered in comparison, to pay for the entertainment, after all nothing is really free!
I will check this out when we arrive, To be fair, does anyone else have similar comments or have found the opposite?

:)hi don were from accrington and support burnley! will pop in aquarias and i.ll shout is don here in my lancashire tones!!! lol...were havin our wedding anni whilst were out there so want to find a place to have a nice meal etc!!! soooooooooo ready for a break.. ;)
-
Little Prince and most others currently 7 euros for special and wine, 9 euros for three course specials. Ozzy Oils doing special plus wine 8 euros. Large
beer is indeed usually 2.50, Three Ws 2.00 euros for 0.4l Mythos last night. Bread from the bakery eighty five cents as per last year if I remember correctly.
Car hired for four days from Valantis at San Stef car rental for 100 euros, will probably be more in the main season. That's for a Hyundai Getz. Excursions seemk to be at the same prices as last year at the moment.
I'll give you all an update as we go. Yammas

Claret & Blue,
I'm sure Tony Kok will back me up on this but I'd consider Beachcomber for your special meal. We never got to eat there last year (dont know why) but it looked amazing. Really nice setting on the beach & the food, although maybe not as Greek as the others, is meant to be superb.
Pictures here.....

Go in a couple of days before and tell them what you're there for and book a table
-
I agree with that. Food is great, and sitting near the sea watching the sunset is beautiful.
-
thank you for the beachcomber tip will defo ave a look when we get there... ;) ;) looks really nice.....
-
I too can endorse the Beachcomber. Never had a bad meal there. If you book a table ask for one closest to the sea.

We came back a couple of weeks ago. Ended up in 2 Star most nights (son liked the ice cream with a sparkler in it) and they had specials for about 6-7 euros including main meal and cake / dessert. Cheap and cheerful.
Supermarket prices - found the beer (most importantly) cheapest at the middle supermarket opposite the bus stop at 75c a can. Bread was 90c a loaf from the bakery. Most food in supermarkets was quite basic so you couldn't really make a good meal, better to eat out. 1.40 for a small carton of milk! Maybe I was robbed lol!!
I'll still go back though. Obviously. ;D

Do you mean the supermarket next to the bakery?
-
Yes, that one. The man in there was really nice, swapped the warm beers for cold ones. I think it was the Bergina beer though, not Mythos, but still a nice drink.
-
That is a nice Supermarket, a touch smaller than the others, but cheapest for water as well.
-
Milk has jumped up quite a bit this year, 1.50 euros for a litre. Dairy products in general a lot more expensive. A loaf from the bakery is 90 cents not 85 as in my early post. Just a senior moment! Petrol most places 174.5 per litre currently but did manage to get filled up at 172.5 yesterday, felt great until I paid over 50 euros to put 3/4 of a tank in a Hyundai Getz!
Well off to Ozzy Oils for a meal tonight, will update soon. Beachcomberr v. good on Monday night, as ever a little pricier than most but well worth it.
-
A little bit of bad news on the price front. VAT for food eaten in restaurants will increase from 13% to 23% on 1st September. Don't see how they can absorb such a big rise and I presume that there will have to be an increase in the cost of eating out.
Ozzy Oils was excellent, have been twice and prices are still reasonable there.
