San Stefanos Holidays

Little San Stefanos is on a hillside on the sandy north west coast of Corfu and its golden sands shelve gently into the sea, offering families a safe haven for paddling. It has good eating options and nightlife, but there are pockets of Corfiot culture spotted through its winding roads and sweet alleys.

San Stefanos is a quiet fishing village that has attracted more and more tourists over the years, but retained its quaint charm. The explorers among you may want to discover some of the coastal and inland villages. North of San Stefanos is Peroulades with Logas and Cape Drastis, Sidari and Roda. Travelling east, there is Arillas, Afionas, San George and the scenic Paleokastritsa. Or for those wanting to see a Corfiot village completely untouched by tourism, visit Magoulades.

If you're not sure what to expect of holidays in San Stefanos, all doubts disappear on your first glimpse of the resort. Your approach is the twists and turns of a rural road, which suddenly reveals a big and beautiful bay. 'Wow!' is often the first word uttered by newcomers to the resort. And this horseshoe of soft sand is where you'll probably plonk yourself for a good proportion of your stay. San Stefanos holidays give you the atmospheric streets of the old village to explore, and the gentle pace of a little fishing harbour to enjoy … But it's the beach that's a daytime magnet, with its gently shelving waterline, sprinkling of well placed bars and tavernas, watersports galore from June to September, and boat trips to the tiny Diapontian Islands.

And as the sun slips from the sky, pick a vantage point to watch the gorgeous sunsets of the north-west coast … preferably one where you can toast the nightly event with your favourite sundowner. Then indulge in an early evening browse of the gift shops, before heading to a taverna where the food is choice and the wine is cheap. Holidays to San Stefanos are equally popular with couples and families.

The central Hotel Thomas Bay is reserved exclusively for adults. The Hotel Athina's beachfront position is hard to beat. And there's a good choice of self-catering holidays to San Stefanos - so it may be worth checking our late deals.
