Agios Stefanos is one of Corfus unspoilt gems, a cluster of traditional houses set on a picturesque, sheltered bay and harbour, where brightly painted fishing boats and sleek modern yachts are moored alongside each other on the quay. It is a friendly village, where locals and visitors alike mingle in the narrow streets and waterside bars.
Apartment Faye is situated right in the heart of the community, a few moments stroll from the harbour and the beach with its shops and tavernas. Greeks love their balconies and for good reason as these little outside rooms like this one perched above the narrow street, catch the breeze off sea or mountain and provide that perfect viewpoint from which to watch the comings and goings of daily village life.
Occupying the second floor, Faye has balconies on both sides of the apartment, either overlooking the quiet lane below and to the side, across ochre pantiled roofs with the bay beyond, or at the rear of the house lovely mountain views.
Like Agios Stefanos itself where old and new blend together without compromising the essential character of the settlement, the Faye Apartment offers simple, comfortable, easy holiday living in a traditional setting.
Approached up a quiet lane through a vine-covered archway the apartment consists of an open plan, fully fitted kitchen with microwave, and air-conditioned living room with TV and DVD player. Two balcony doors lead from this area to a quiet, back balcony.
There are two bedrooms, a double and twin-bedded room, sharing a balcony with side views to the sea. There is a fully fitted bathroom with overhead shower, wash basin and WC and an additional separate shower room with WC.
The beach with sunbeds and umbrellas is literally moments away, but the wonderful quiet beaches at Kerasia and Aviaki are also within easy reach.
Agios Stefanos and the Faye Apartment are a winning combination for a family or two couples looking for a quiet holiday in unspoilt surroundings: a perfect place to stop and let the world go by, but with all of Corfu with its variety of landscape, history, holiday activities within easy reach.
