Hi,
Been checking out villas in Agios Stefanos, in the NW. Almost booked a villa today then realised it was in the NE between Kassiopi and Kalami. Now having to go back over reviews/locations etc once again to see where each villa is. Is the NE one also Saint Agios Stefanos (sometimes Stephanos), and is the NW one Agios Stefanos?
Have also been looking at Arillas, which is in the NW. Can anyone tell me if you can walk between Arillas and A or S.Stefanos and also recommend which resort is best. We have been to Kassiopi twice recently (enjoyed it loads), but fancied the NW for a change. Got flights booked for Sept 14th for 11 nights - cant wait.
Any help appreciated,
Paul
Re your second question, it's a couple of km, maybe about a 45 minute walk.
San Stefanos NW is also known as Agios (meaning "holy" or Saint) Stefanos. The NE one is, I believe, spelt San Stephanos or Agios Stephanos (hmm, having checked, I can also see that can be spelt with a "f" too).
As for which resort is best, I haven't stayed in San Stefanos - just visited for the day. We went to Arillas in May, and found enough places to eat to last us a week, and a couple of bars. Liked it, and had a lovely relaxing holiday. San Stefanos looked quieter to me, had a nicer beach probably. I'd stay in either from what I've seen. The coastal scenery is lovely.

As Phoebe says both Agios (San) Stefanos NW and NE can be spelt several ways in the 'English' version and mean St. Stephen. They are always being confused therefore it is best to always add NW or NE to distinguish them.
The walk from San Stefanos NW to Arillas takes 30 -45 minutes depending whether you choose the shorter unmade route or the longer road route but both are over quite a hill. The 2 resorts lie in different bays.
Both have their regular supporters and I am sure you will enjoy whichever you choose. I think that San Stef is slightly bigger with more restaurants etc and a bigger centre.
