Brilliant .. We loved it there . Its definitely a place to return to for us 😁

Been a few years since we stayed in San stef . We were going to Lesvos on the 16th May . Its an amber island ATM .So TBH  we were ok with it being cancelled.
We decided to come back to Corfu as it's one of  our favourite places. Not just San Stef but all over the island .We stayed in Moratika in 20-19, and had a brilliant time.
So hopefully on the 17May  we will be back ion Corfu 😎😎
I've worked throughout this pandemic , had 3 holidays cancelled . And cancelled one myself as I really didn't want to fly. A friend stayed on Corfu last year for the first time and felt very safe. Much safer than at home. So that was the decider for me.
I'm ready for a really relaxing time now. So here's hoping we can go.

My husband will have had both doses of the vaccination  , I will have had one

Where to stay / Re: Barras Apartments

Stayed at barras a few times and would not hesitate to stay again. George and his family are lovely people  :)
I thought is was really well equipped for Greece , we even had a large bath with the overhead shower so no wet bathroom floor .
We haven't been to Corfu the past two years , did a bit of island hopping instead but we are there this year year and  going to st George's south for a change as we haven't been there before

2 weeks ago we bought the proper "pitta" that they use in Greece it was in a pack of 10 frozen and was made in Greece, it  is open to the public and supplies restaurants. my husband dry fried it and served it with pork with Greek seasoning, salad a few chips and tzatziki it was lovely  ;D  yum yum
It also sold Mythos in bottles , 5* and 7* Metaxa and loads of other stuff
i cant remember the name as my daughter found the place on line and drove us there,  it was in Liverpool city center between the Albert dock and Anglican cathedral in some industrial units off i think jamaica street
we will be visiting again soon, the 2 Greek guys were lovely and very helpful

Hi lisak 123
there is a new bar/restaurant opening near the church on the cliff path, so that makes 2 extra stops and a longer walk  ;)
have a look at the excursions at san stef travel, don't book with the reps (rip off)
the island tour is a good one, a full day lots to see and do   :) we fancy a trip over to the local islands this year as that is one of the few we haven't done, the weather looks great for the next few weeks.
Have a walk in to the olive groves in the evenings and you might be lucky enough to see the fairies (fireflies)  we have never been at this time of year before so really hoping to see them
Have a great time !

we did the paxos / antipaxos trip on our honeymoon via noula at san stef travel, it was a nice day out.
when we were there thompsons had a new trip on we had not done before it was expensive but it did make our trip extra special  ;D
a trip around the north of corfu on a sea plane with absolutely stunning views.
I can also recommend the island tour (we did that one the 1st time we went to corfu) it was a very long day, if i remember rightly it started off traveling down the east coast past the durrell white house, breakfast at a place overlooking the runway at corfu town watching the planes landing ect, then a tour around the kumquat distillery with samples provided, on to paleo for lunch with a boat trip around the bays and caves then up to the monastery (no shorts for ladies wraparound skirts provided if needed) then up to the bella vista for refreshments.
I hope you both have a fab time,congratulations and  good luck to you both.

Just to let people know,
the cash machine in Arrilas has been taken out this week by "euro bank" as it was deemed to be unprofitable!!  :( It was one of the more reliable ones too
