You can walk down the hill to the village in ten minutes or it is two minutes in a car.
San Stephanos has a small beach with wooden jetties which are perfect for sunbathing or fishing and you can easily rent a boat, if you want to visit the picturesque bays and coves along the neighbouring coastline: Agni, with its two world famous tavernas; Avlaki with its large sandy beach, sailing school and horse riding; and Kerasia with its Blue Flag beach.
Renting a car allows you to explore further afield. The nearby port of Kassiopi is the north-east coast's largest village, with a great choice of shops, restaurants and bars. Its nightlife is lively but restrained. And of course, a visit to historic Corfu Town is a must: Venetian buildings, French colonnades, and permanent reminders of when Corfu was an outpost of the British Empire, such as cricket matches and ginger beer.
The property is about 40 kilometers (an hour's drive) from Corfu Town, the port and airport. From the end of March until the beginning of November there are daily direct flights from the UK and during the summer there are scheduled and charter flights from all over Europe.
