Aghios Stefanos, Corfu

I've just got back from a week in a little villa just outside Aghios Stefanos, and I thought I'd see what other ciao'ers thought about it. Well there are only two other reviews, and niether seem to be over informative, but the thing that prompted me to write this is that there are actually THREE villages in Corfu with this name and I think the other articles may be about the 'other' two. For avoidance of doubt, the Aghios Stefanos I visited is on the North East coast at the closest point of the island to mainland Albania, and in between the larger resorts of Kassiopi and Nisaki. This was our ... more

Having been to Corfu now 7 times, 3 of which have been in San Stefanos, this is without question one of my most favourite places on earth! The long sweeping bay curls round and is surrounded by hills giving the resort a kind of 'secluded - tucked away' feel.

We stayed in san Stefanos and wanted a quiet ,relaxing holiday with plenty of things to do and thats what we got!!! San Stefanos is in the North of the Island but we managed to still get to see many different parts such as the beautiful Corfu Town, Sidara (bit like the Blackpool of Corfu) and also the southern part of the island. I definatly reccomend where we stayed. There are plenty of nice local tavernas with great food and variety which sell both Greek and English foods. The bus service is good and taxis are reasonably priced. The beach is safe and clean. The only drawback we had was that ... more
