The foreign office has put out a travel warning of jelly fish in Greece to be careful and take local advice.When we were in San Stef from10 th to 27 th June there were lots washed up on the beach.People were catching them with nets.

I can't ever remember seeing a jellyfish there in 30 years - - anyone ever seen one???

[Jules]

Never seen one but maybe because of the time of year we go

[dibully]

First time we had seen them not very big spoke to a family who had been staying at Voula's  for years and said it was the first time they had seen them

          A lot of small ones on the beach - mostly early in the season.
                       20 days and we will be back " home"

I thought that was seaweed?

[Rover]

Never seen them in SS, but was stung by one in Majorca,and it was a very painful experience.

[Woodman]

saw a couple on the beach when we were there 9-20 June following the strong winds/waves and another in the creek near Waves. All dead and about the size of a £2 coin...

[Jimbo]

Zero here today.

I was in San Stef from 7th to 21st June, we hired a boat and headed down toward Paleo, we stopped at a cove and were diving off the boat and I got stung whilst swimming Not particularly painful just a bit uncomfortable, got some cream from the chemist when we got back and it took it straight down. When I actually looked over the side of the boat there were quite a few of them all about the size of a cup bottom. If you have small children perhaps keep an eye on them on the beach and in the sea, I can imagine it wouldn't be a nice experience for little ones!

That's so odd - as I said earlier - I had never seen them in San Stefanos though - lets hope it doesn't change

We saw a few in May - only one alive and swimming (if that's the right word) in a shallow pool of water.  I have to say they were quite pretty with lilac and yellow patterns not like the ones we used to see at Llandudno in the 1950's.  My husband also got stung by one in the sea at Majorca and he said it was really painful (didn't know if that was just a man thing though lol).
