After discovering San Stefanos (NW) about 11years ago and holidaying there 10 times since, the day has come when we are thinking of going somewhere else - never thought it would happen but it has! Even my son has been to San Stef 3 times and he's only 3! Four times if you include whilst in the womb!
We do love San Stef and are hoping to go somewhere similar but on a different Greek island - anyone got any ideas/suggestions please?
Thanks in advance for any help you are able to give.
Cathi.

Ornos on Mykonos is brilliant. Unfortunately spelling not my most credible talent but if you walk up the hill (opposite way to Mykonos town) and down the other side you can eat where Shirley Valentine had her table in the sea!

Just had a look at Ornos .... all those sunbeds!! No thanks - not for me. Reminds me of Nidri ...... my one 'lets try somewhere else for a change' experience, and I hated it!!!!

Stick to Corfu and visit St George South! Staying in the south of the island gives you a different perspective of the island with the bonus that if you really don't like it you can hire a car and visit the north!
Failing that, how about Elounda on Crete? Incidentally I loved Nidri but that was 17 years ago!

We love Arillas, but always thought that there were so many other places out there to visit. We have always chose small, unspolit places, but quite simply nowhere else compared. Stoupa, on Mainland Greece was quite nice, but the following year it was back to Arillas & its wonderful charm & lovely people.

I have heard good things about Elounda too .... but apart from the fact I also believe it is very expensive, nothing would tempt me away from Corfu now .... unless I won the lottery and could still have my Corfu fix AND visit oher places! Till then ...... Kassiopi for me

Although we stay in San Stef we always pop over now and again to Arillas to have lunch in The Portofino Taverna,Spiros the owner is hilarious and we usually meet up with some Greek chums there.So SaraD, can fully understand why you love Arillas and its people

I've been to Elounda and can vouch from first hand experience that it is very nice. It has a lovely harbour, nice tavernas and depending on which accomodation you stay in it has some lovely views over to Spinalonga. Public transport is also good. I've also been to Skiathos and that too is a lovely island. Some nice places on Rhodes too. It does no harm to explore other islands once in a while then you can decide which is your ideal.
I went to Nidri many years ago and have to say that I loved it then.

We've holidayed in Acharavi for 16 out of the last 17 years. Have also been to Crete,Rhodes and Zante which we enjoyed but none of them have the "magic" of Corfu.
Going to San Stefanos NW,for the first time,in May but guess what ..... going back to Acharavi in August. I'm sure you would love it there, go on give it a try!
