Whats happenin'

Thanks Karen. As keen recyclers at home we want to "do our bit" when we come in September! I thought I read somewhere that the central collection point is in a building near Peli & Maria's supermarket? I'm sure someone will know!

Just wondering how the new recycling scheme (mentioned on this thread a few months ago) is working out? Does each hotel & self-catering property have it's own collection point, or do holidaymakers have to take their own empty bottles, etc down to the central point in the village?

Behind each set of sun-loungers on the beach, there were different bins for the different type of refuse. We stayed at Nondas and din't have any facility for splitting up the rubbish.

Hmm..didn't notice anything, but I wasn't looking. There are some bins opposite there, not sure if that could be it

[Karen]

Oh yes, I saw those loftyscot. I think the hotels/apartments should be encouraging this, I'm sure we all would be happy to recycle, whilst on our holidays

In Little Prince we left recycling out separate on the units and the cleaners collected them and they went in bags to the centre-the nearest is just by Maria’s shop.

The last two days have seen a sometimes-strong breeze whip up, and with it some surprisingly powerful surf. A woman drowned in Arillas. But despite that the sea is very warm. Because of the wave action it's beautiful, with milky light turquoise colours near shore and bands of progressively blue water until the intense blue of the deep water. A lot of the sand is drier this year, so it's more inclined to sand-blast you on the beach. Still lots of people wave-jumping. The parasailing platform is moored next to the old harbour.

We've taken a few walks along the beach and varied our days. Yesterday was lovely by the Nafsika pool, with some shelter from the NNW breeze. I did some writing. Great meal at Zorba's in the evening. Pavlos is a great dancer.

Going up the headland to Akrotiri and Gravia today, maybe lunch in Arillas. Then tonight is quiz night!!!

[Karen]

Aah that's so sad, poor lady.  As always, a beautifully written report, Jim, it takes us right back there

[maggiesaes]

Oh dear that poor lady,what a shock for all concerned.

Pavlos puts everything into his dancing he is great.
I love the food there-Chicken Spinaki is one of my favourites.

Has there really been 978 people on line today?

[maggiesaes]

  Who are they?

[Karen]

Who are they?

We're being invaded Maggie, methinks it may be a mistake!

[maggiesaes]

I reckon so Karen

I haven't written anything on the forum for quite sometime. We are regular visitors to San Stefanos. Last year in June we stayed at jasmine apartments which was fantastic. But the journey home at the airport was terrible. The one before that was horrendous to. I was wondering what the airport is like this year. We weren't going to visit this year because I got very anxious at the airport but am feeling I need my San Stefanos injection to make me get through the winter. We went to Lanzarote in June but it isn't the same as Corfu. If anyone can give me any tips on coping with Corfu airport or any reviews this year I would be very grateful.

Well we are part of the 938 and I suspect a lot of the others are spam! We have just joined you merry lot and did have a bit of a problem getting here, but the lovely admin sorted it and did say they were getting a lot of spammers.
Likely we know a few of you here as we have been coming/going to Agios Stefanos since 1994, although until this year we have not been back in the last 13 years – long story.
It has been lovely to read lot of the posts, especially some old posts to catch-upon what has been going on, thankfully not too much!
