Trip Report

Hi all, had two weeks in San Stef 6th-20th July. First visit for 5 years (simply because we were trying other places). Fab weather, beach lovely (even on windy days when the sea came in up and under the sunbeds!), best meals Zorbas, Beachcomber, Olympia and Yiannis. Fab lamb on the spit and best Stifado at Yiannis. Superb Kokanisto at Zorbas. Wonderful perch parcel at Beachcomber. Great fun at Nafsika quiz on Wednesdays. Enjoyed pre dinner beers at Acabar, lovely, friendly bar. Summer Dreams lovely (and cheaper than most) but usually empty (but beware of the rock singer on Sundays). Village as friendly and welcoming as ever. Highlight - Akrotiri bar early evenings (yes we walked, phew) awesome. Only criticism, too many naff tribute acts. In summary, a fab holiday. May well return next year. Oh and final mention of the lovely girls in San Stef travel - lovely, friendly, helpful.   

Hi Nickos this is the first time I have seen any one give Summer Dreams a good report and cant understand why. I know it is never very busy but when I am in San Stef I call in every day for a drink and allways enjoy it.

Good report Nikos, I wonder if you were in the Nafsika bar on the same Wednesday night as us. We stayed at Vagelis Apartments 29th June to 13^th July, and used the Nafsika as a base and ate there most nights. The food at the Nafsika was fantastic as usual but Zorbas, Little Prince and Ozzie Oils were just as good too.

Agree the village is as friendly and welcoming as ever and certainly agree about the tribute acts at the newer part; they seemed to be all trying to compete with each other to see who could make the most racket! Not my cup of tea and not what I come to San Stef for, but each to their own I suppose, one of the good points in staying in the old part of the village it’s not changed much and is still nice and peaceful.

We used San Stefanos travel for a boat trip to Erikoussa Island, which I would recommend, beautiful and unspoilt. Not much to do other than relax on the beach or sip a cooling drink on the only beach taverna.

This year was my 9^th trip to San Stefano’s, were planning to try something else for 2013, but will be back in 2014 all being well

We tend to visit the resort at least once a year, sometimes three times. We too don't use the Condor as not our cup of tea but do enjoy live acts at Athena 3W's and Summer Dreams.
The majority of nights find us lingering in the taverna long after the meal has been cleared away just chilling, chatting and experiencing the "very different" wines.

Enjoy yourself DeniseL... Look forward to hearing of your holiday when you get home.

I wasn't referring to Condor, not our cup of tea either. The tribute acts have now spread beyond Condor to Silver Star, El Greco, Acabar, hence my comment. But forgot to say we loved the accoustic guitarist in Athens bar.

Have a wander into O Manthos taverna and ask if you can look at the old photo albums... Absolutely fascinating way to pass an hour or two.

Where is the Manthos taverna Don, we probably passed it many times :-) or with my memory we been in it

Is it the white arched entrance way?

Hi,

Hi Don, yes we all fine. Me and Sandra going for a week on the 28th September, we were there twice last year July & October, this weather was cold in October though :-(
