San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

I like the visual simplicity of this forum. I think some of the others are a ghastly mess, frankly.

What's great about this forum is the variety of people and views, jokes and information. Great myths have been originated - Vlad the Black Dog - unfair distribution of Kumquat marmalade at Romanza - the lovely Ukrainian lesbians Natasha and Irina (sadly absent for a while) - history of the village - discussions about the dimensions of the beach - imperialist towel deployment. It goes on.

I think Agios Stephanos is about people, plus a nice beach. This - over the winter - keeps the people in touch, and, I think, keeps us interested in it. Otherwise we might go elsewhere.

ONE POINT TWO! (1.2003)

Chrissyann - WINKIE is right. Our friends think we're mad - they jet off to Vietnam or wherever - and simply can't understand why we're going back again to Agios Stephanos for the fifth year.

I remember WINKIE sending me a private mail about Little Prince. I think the information I gave was accurate. How many times is it this year, WINKIE?

It's not frenetic, it's not surrounded by great Hellenic sites, it's not particularly cute - but the views of the islands offshore, the sunsets, and the sheer relaxing ambiance together with the warmth of the local people make it almost irresistibly seductive.

You have to try it. Many of us did. Some have been back for more twenty years. All I can say is that when I arrive in the village it immediately feels like I'm at home.

It's at the top of the hill on the road from Agios Stephanos to Arillas. In other word, halfway between the villages.

There's only a 100 yard gap with rocks on.

Need a local to comment!!!

Check out the San Stefanos Travel list of trips. Everything you need to know is on there.

For those who want to see a bit more than beach and bars, there's now an English language Greek news magazine on-line:
