Ambrosia - (Restaurants in Alykes)

Very nice taverna. Their swordfish and chicken souvlakis were excellent. Also try the giant beans starter. Good service and the only taverna we returned to during our stay in Alykes.

I highly recommend, and I eat out a lot and know good food when I eat it

Nice bar nice cocktails! Try the Alternative Virago - a pink fruity creamy drink with loads of calories!!! Yum. Spiros very friendly, and comes round with "A little Yammas" shot glass each night.

A nice bar to chill out in

Maryland Reptile House - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Claire P  (16 June 2003)         

Excellent! My boyfriend and I visited from Alykes (as he is interested in snakes)and it is well worth the 6 Euros entry as you get to hold lots of differnt types of lizard and snakes including a boa constrictor and several pythons. They are gorgeous creatures and the handler is friendly and informative. I'd highly recommend going along and visiting.

As we had difficulties finding it (it has moved from Argassi to Laganas) I'll put some details on how to find it.

The reptile house has moved to Laganas. It is on the main road to Kalamaki, (just off the main drag of Laganas) on the left hand side of the road (going away from the main drag) past a taverna with fountains and a pasta place. It is not well signed at the moment but you can clearly see the fun castle bit (bungee trampolines are next to the road and easily seen by car). It is open from 6pm till midnight.

Paporo Beach Restaurant - (Restaurants in Alykes)

Nice restaurant with fantastic views of Kefalonia (especially nice at sunset). The huge pizza's and Greek specialities were good, and the ice cream and cocktails were also very tasty. The staff are very friendly and will convince you to have a cocktail and an ice cream after your meal. I have Paporo to thank for the 6 bottles of dry white Callinico wine (try it it's really easy to drink) that I brought back!
