San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Well finally gone and done it. Kept an eye on prices 3/4 times a day. Easyjet kept going up so looked at Thomson from Bristol and Cardiff. Over the period of 7 days the Bristol Thomson flights fell from £428 per person to £288. Bought 3 at £288 so now looking for cheap parking, insurance etc. Don't want much do I!

Definately learnt a lesson this year though i.e. I won't be booking in school holidays next year. I noticed the price for 3 of us travelling the last Friday in June for 2 weeks was £178 per person last week. Thats a huge saving.

Youngest son will have finished his GCSEs by the end of June next year so we'll go then in 2014.

I thought we might get a week in San Stefanos in May next year to keep me going till August. So I checked out the Thomsons website.

Thomson flights for two of us from Edinburgh on the 17th May including bags etc £873.00.
A package holiday for the two of us on the same flight including bags, transfers and bed and breakfast at the Teresas £836!

Who could believe that.

It looks to me that Theodosia is slightly elevated and I can't do slopes or stairs very well.  That also put's out  Golden Beach as I think it's further up the harbour road.  I have painful arthritis in both knees which makes even walking on the flat quite difficult....but.....I WILL find something suitable!

Thanks for all you help 

There are only a handful of accommodations in San Stefanos that can compare to the Delfino Blu's high standards, those accommodations include;
The Fedra Mare, The Paralia Apartments, The Sugar & Almond Apartments, The Vassilys Apartments and The Margaritas Suites.
If you are looking for outstanding value for money, the Margaritas Suites offer luxury standards at excellent prices. They are located right on the beach front and have their own private garden, breathtaking sea views out towards the Diapontia Islands and offer superlative comfort. Here is the link where you can view pictures and videos of the individually decorated suites.

I was just going to mail you to say thanks for the vino. Bit Metaxaed out this morning, but fine now! I think!

Just to annoy the folks at home - what a fantubulously super-wonderful hot sunny day it's been. How can the sea be as calm as a blue lake? It's six pm and 32^oC.

How distant the rain and windswept streets of Blighty seem as the glowing orange orb of the god Solaris descends towards the headland and the little hire boats from the beach get towed home to the harbour like ducklings following their mother. Etc.

Actually, we would have lost the quiz if I had agreed with Gillie's incorrect answer to the question "What does a liquid turn into when it boils?"

Thank you all again for the positive comments. I've updated the blog once more and days 7 to 10 have been updated here:

I hope you enjoy reading.

If that's true at least we'll be guaranteed to win the Nafiska Pub Quiz!

It was still quite busy that time last year. Nice for walking :-)
