Michaelos - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Joe R           

this is not only the best taverna on zante but the best for value/quality on all the islands of Greece that I've been to - more than a few.For the last 2 years I've returned to Kalamaki primarily because of Dennis and his staff - this really says it all

Oasis Bar - (Bars in Kalamaki)

Joe R           

The two brothers are shy - I think, I can understand the comments that have been made but for some reason I like this place

Apollon - (Bars in Kalamaki)

I don't know their names (..will find out next year) but the couple that run this bar have the warmest of smiles and are a delight.Strongly suggest that you see for yourself

Athina Apartments - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Joe R           

Excellent value, very clean and roomy studios with all that you need. Athina and her staff are second to none.

Mermaids - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Joe R  (20 May 2003)         

Must have been a one off for me judging by the rest of the comments - the food was very poor as if it was simply microwaved - the problem could well be that the menu is too extensive for them to provide quality - the staff tho' are excellent and the atmosphere is good - breakfasts are great

Apollon - (Bars in Kalamaki)

Joe R  (20 May 2003)         

Have found out their names - see last years comment - they are a delight - this place deserves to succeed and I very much hope it does

Petrino - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Joe R  (20 May 2003)         

Great food,agree that the Kleftico is superb, nice staff if your' looking for a change to Mikaelos'- which for me is still the best - anywhere in the islands then this place is well worth trying - staff are good people

Oasis Bar - (Bars in Kalamaki)

Joe R           

I keep going back to this place, it is as per the name a pleasant oasis, no gimmicks, nice surroundings, smooth music, genuine guys running it who at first blush may seem a little cool but they are ok, and with good cocktails. Not for the, forgive me, young set perhaps but worth a try

Michaelos - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Joe R           

It is on the Zante road on the left about 1/3m from the 'T' junction of the two main drags, a better way might be to turn right after walking past the Dias on the airport road - its worth the effort to find it, I can't praise it enough - try the meze/mixed starters for two and if you have had better value elsewhere let me know

Petrino - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Joe R  (28 May 2004)         

worth trying out, has an air of authenticity about it,kleftico in filo pastry is unusual but a must as is either the artichoke/asparagus (I forget which) siciliana starter - a good cange to Michaelos which, in my view, cannot be surpassed

Merlis Car Hire - (Car Rental in Zante)

Joe R           

ok I'm biased as like Julie I am afflicted in the sense that we are both Geordies but I do recommend this concern - with one caveat and that is that don't hire the Samurai unless you can drive a tank
