Hi Newks
The first thing you need to do is find out which San Stefanos you are looking at as there are at least 2 in Corfu! One is on the north-east coast near Kalami and has a tiny little bay with a pebble beach and steep hillside with accommodation up the hill. There are a few tavernas and shops. The San Stefanos on the north-west coast is a more spread out resort with a sandy beach and sand dunes. No sea-front as such that I can remember. Again not a lot of shops or tavernas. It's several years since I visited either of these resorts.
Last September in Agios Gordios we were paying between �28 and �35 for a 2-course meal for 2 with drinks. I think a greek salad would be about �4 or �5 and beer probably about �2.50. Sorry I'm not sure about the beer because I don't drink it and Hubby usually pays. A half litre of wine was about �3. Sprits are about �4.
Your best bet for info about all aspects of Corfu is at www.agni.gr/ . There is also an excellent forum on this site. Someone will help you better than me.
Cheers, Jean

I agree basically with Jean although my wife and I are perhaps more frugal on our total meal costs.

I do not know the NE San Stefanos so cannot comment on that resort.

However if it the NW one you are considering then then you must be aware that a lot of holiday accommodation is on a long and quite steep hill. So take your time researching BEFORE you book. Make a short list of possible apartments or hotels and then post a message on the San Stefanos NW Message Board on the web-site which Jean recommended and regulars to the resort will help you.
