San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

I really did not intend to post again and I don't think I will get involved in any other topic.

I just wanted to answer Jimbo's recommendations on non-smoking tavernas.

I have never in all the 8 years I have been coming to San Stefanos, at different times of year. seen any non-smoking tables in Little Prince.  Are they the 2 tables you have to vacate when they set them alight?

We have been to Nafsika twice.  The first time we were waiting for our food when a coach arrived and 6/8 people, with cases, went inside.  They came out shortly and were greeted effusively by the, I assume, owner and waiters.  We were still waiting for our food when they got served!  We decided, another year, to give it a second chance.  Both our main choices were either sold out or unavailable.  We haven't been back since.

I also find it strange that some people who smoke don't mind the smell on their clothes.  Could it be because they hold their cigs at arms length or over the shoulder, wafting smoke on the people behind.

 'obnoxious'. 'low life' - both your terms for smokers, not mine.  You know them personally do you?

You've lost me on the ants and muscles!

Three actually Jimbo.  Don't forget the smoking!

As I said in my original post, a cigarette at the end of meal, when most people have finished eating is acceptable.  The four people on the next table lit up before the starters and chain smoked throughout.  In my opinion extremely bad manners!

Jimbo - Just to clarify - I did not use the term 'obnoxious', that was your interpretation of them.  I said 'discourteous'.

Hi, this is my first post on this forum.

We have been coming to San Stefanos for 8 consecutive years and returned last Monday having enjoyed a fabulous 10 days.

The only thing that spoiled it was the smoking in the tavernas and it seems to be getting worse.  We were in Yiannis one night and four people on the next table smoked continuously all through the meal.  Little Prince was another taverna where people seemed to smoke continuously, as against previous years when it was one cigarette at the end of a meal when most people had finished their meals.  We ate at Olympia 3 times and did not see (or smell) one smoker.

I really do think it is about time the taverna owners had smoking and non-smoking sections and ask as you enter which you prefer.

Sorry to bring up this controversial topic again, as I seem to remember a heated discussion some time ago but I do think a solution should be found, as leaving it to the discretion and courteousness of the people who smoke does not seem to be working.
