San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Dreadful airport! Experienced it in June when we visited San Stef.
Food choice was awful when getting there early morn for return to UK! Probably worst we've experienced in years across the Med. After all these years of receiving tourists, i'm still trying to work out why Greece is so far behind rest of the Med in modernising its airports.

Experience in recent years of Canaries, Alicante on mainland Spain and Faro, Portugal so so much better.

Despite my whinge, prob be back next year!

You do not have to apologise.
Even if many on this forum are in love with San Stef, and we loved it when we visited in June and will be back next year, this is 2009 and anyone should expect the pool to be cleaned everyday, no matter which country we are visiting.

Me and my wife went there 3 times back in June. Thought the food was pretty good. Certainly wouldn't put anyone off eating there.

San Stef must be quaking with anticipation at the mo. I mean, how does it survive without the 'key players' on this site??!!

Check out the Abba girls in the Condor bar as well; we thought they were pretty good and entertaining. They also do a blues brothers tribute on the same night.

Transfer time? we were about 90 minutes back in June on the thomson coach. Seems long but some nice scenery once you've left the outskirts of Corfu Town.

Yes, there is a fridge in the B&B rooms; very handy. In the B&B rooms you've also got a shower cubicle with doors!!

You must go to Teresa Greek night on a Wednesday; ab fab! You'll love Leo, Fannis and Nikos who run the place. Great views over the bay from the pool and bar terrace. Great staff there as well.

It's a small hike up the hill from San Stef village, but not too taxing.

You'll find plenty of reviews of restaurants on here. I think it's fair to say we all have our favourites in San Stef.
We visited Little Prince - ace sizzling steak.
Nafsika Hotel - liked the food there.
Waves on the beach - had lunch there a few times; my wife thought the stuffed tomatoes were divine - she even cooked some for tea this evening at home - aren't i lucky!
Paradise - larger portions; good food.
Teresa itself - had two meals there on an evening before going into town and greek night food is v.good. Also very reasonable for lunch.
Ozzy Oils - v.nice food and twist to standard greek fare, but nice change.
Beachcombers - on the beach, great views of the sunset, not particularly greek i suppose, but high quality stuff - we visited it twice during our 2 weeks.
Finally Zorbas - OK a bit touristy, plenty of greek dancing, fire, etc, but it was my wife's favourite - lovely selection of different lamb dishes we had on the 3 occasions we visited!

Can honestly say we didn't have a bad meal in our 2 weeks and great value. Even the more expensive beachcomber was only 50 euros for the two of us, in total, for 3 courses and a bottle of wine..

Enjoy! Because we certainly did. It was only our 2nd time in San Stef (stayed 16 years ago - what took us so long?!). Almost certainly returning next year...hopefully to Terezas, but if not, somewhere else in San Stef.

I smoked from the age of 11, until i was about 31, then gave up. 16 years on from that 1st smoke-free day in 20 years i will freely admit i hate it these days with a passion.

The advent of smoke free pubs and restaurants in the UK is brilliant! I don't have to breathe in other people's smoke. No longer coming home after a night out reaking of smoke!

So smoking is part of Greek culture...hmmm....knife crime seems to be part of UK culture in recent years, but i wish it wasn't!

as for this romantic vision of a greek waiter taking an order with a tab in the other hand or mouth, i bet you wouldn't be so accomodating if he brought your food to the table at the same time as some ash spilling on your food!

C'mon it's a filthy habit and as for the freedom/liberty stuff it's also my choice to tell you to stop blowing smoke across my 'space' and believe me i will.

Someone earlier said about the UK "making us smoke in the street wasnt really the way forward". Yes it was, brilliant idea!

Bah humbug!

Loads of the little blighters, at this time of the year in the Med and surrounding areas. Bad enough here in August/Sept.
