San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Just recently back from our honeymoon and also the first time to visit san stef!

When we arrived in Corfu airport and headed to the transfer bus a lady came over to us and asked if I was Julie and handed me a card!  It was from Sellsy (Kevin and Debbie)... that made our day!

We were staying at the Romanza, and who just happened to me our neighbours, Sellsy!  What a lovely couple they are, Richards a bit un-decided about Kevins music choice haha

On arrival into our room at the Romanza we were greeted with a bottle of bubbly on ice from the hotel staff which was a lovely gesture and also a little present with card!

I could not fault the hotel at all, we were so happy with everything about the hotel (apart from the "short cut" up the cliff path from the beach haha).  We had a fabulous view from our balcony too.  We attended the Greek Night on Sunday with Sellsy and what a great time we had, Andreas even managed to drag Richard up to dance!  What made the night even better was when I thought I recognised a lady at the Greek night from home!  I was so sure it was her but did not want to go over... So Sellsy said he would go and ask.  Turns out she was from the other end of the country to me   Glad I did not ask her myself and he was the one to make a fool of himself haha.

As for the rest of our honeymoon we have no complaints there either.  We tried many different places to eat and did not once have a bad meal!
Tasty corner was the favourite for lunch, our pita Gyros which I had been having withdrawal symptoms from since last year.

We met some lovely local people on our honeymoon, everyone was so friendly and helpful which is such an important thing!  One couple in particular that really touched our heart was Julia and Nikos from Sotto Zero!  We sat for hours talking about our families and home lives with them.  It was so nice to see how much they value their children and their grandchildren.  We were very sad when we had to go and say goodbye to them both on Sunday   We will definitely going back to see them next year. 

We spent our days lying on the beach and swimming in the sea, such a relaxing time!  On an evening we were quite happy sitting in the peaceful bars watching all the passers by sipping our cocktails.

All in all we had such a great time and are already looking at holidays for next year with my 2 children, if we can wait that long!

I've already been recommending the place to everyone I talk to back home/work as its such a nice place to visit. 

I usually use jungle extra strength which works well but last year I bought some stuffoff ebay called Repel 100 or 55 which is either 100% deet which is supposed to sting a bit but VERY effective if you have problems with getting bit.  I bought the 55 which is 55% deet and nobody in our group got bit once whilst in Arillas.  Its worth a try and not expensive.
