Stegna.

Does anyone know anything about Stegna, how big, how many Tavernas, whats the beach like, thinking of going in early October.

Hi, Susan,

We went about 3 years ago .... I posted a lot of guff in the old camBoard - I'll have a look.

Where are you thinking of staying?

Here's one link - to a GoogleEarth image.

...and here's another - being your namesake's report.

I did do a hefty write-up for Suzanne - but I emailed it, instead of posting Doh :!:

We're going in September Susan. Heard some good things about it, although it's just a purpose built beach resort, off the beaten track but no old village. I think the beach is supposed to be good and it has stayed fairly undeveloped so not many tavernas. Thanks Chas, for the links.

Actually, F, it has got a bit of history.

It was a summer-season fishing village, serving Arhagelos (Archangelos) at the top of the cliff. Several of the old houses are still there, along the front, interpolated with the apartment blocks. One has the most beautiful jasmine hedge - makes the evening promenade an absolute delight.

During the main season, I'd reckon there are about two dozen tavernas/resturants in operation.

At the south end, there is a "Butlitz" complex - escapees can be recognised by the multi-coloured wrist bands they MUST WEAR AT ALL TIMES! Fortunately, not too many seem to want to escape (except across the road to "their" bit of beach).

Here's THE LINK to a few of my Stegna online piccies.

Thanks all, still trying to make our minds up, there's nothing in Stegna for 4th Oct and very little now for 8th and 11th., oh decisions to be made.

Decision now made, going to Mitsis Ramira Beach hotel, Kos in early October.

I believe that is in Psalidi isn't it?

Yes it is, we were really looking to go back to Rhodes but it was on a very good deal, £766 all inclusive, so on the others we already have booked this is just S/C or B/B price. We haven't been to Kos since 1992 so it will have chnaged a bit.
