Green Frog - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Keith P           

The worst meal we had in the entire two weeks. Had to wait 15 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink. They arrived after 30 minutes. Given a menu after 35 minutes (had to ask for it. Meal arrived after 1 hour 35 minutes, just as we were going to walk out. The meal was terrible!!! Two couples either side of us said they would never go there again. Others in our apartments also said it was the worst meal they had, by a long way and would never go there again. What makes it worse was that the evening we were there, it was only half full!!!

Carissimo - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Service was superb with very happy and chatty waiters that made you feel most welcome. The food was excellent too, especially the Sea Bass.

Erato - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Keith P           

Visited Erato twice and had excellent meals both times. One of the few places that gives you hot bread.

Papillon - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Keith P           

This is the place to have pizza's. Try the Chicken with Red Peppers.

Zorbas - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Keith P           

Excellent meal and service was the same.

Venetsiana - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Keith P  (25 August 2003)         

This is an excellent place to eat. In the 2 weeks we were in Argassi, this was the best restaurant, by a long way. The setting, music, service and quality of the meal is perfect. I had the Filet Mignon and Filet Davidiana and they were cooked to perfection, with fresh vegetables, salad and jacket potato. The desserts are also superb. I recommend you go to Venetsiana.

Argassi Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Keith P           

This beach hardly exists!!! Get the free bus from Avalon to St Nicholas beach at 10.30am. Now that is a beach!!!

St Nicholas Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Keith P           

Thw water sports here are second to none in the vicinity. Beach is great and the snack bar is reasonable too. Get the coutesy bus from Argassi at 10.30 - pay 4 euro's for each sunbed - this will give you your return coach ticket at 5.00pm. Perfect!!!

Olympic Holidays - (Tour Operators in Zante)

Keith P           

Monarch flights from and to Manchester were very good. We landed in Manchester 30 minutes early on 24 August. Airport transfers were good. Accomodation at Paradise Studios was good, but the pool is much better at Paradise Beach Hotel (just across the road). Olympic rep (Andrea, I think) not very good. A pleasant girl, but not very effective when people needed her help and advice. We were o.k., but other people had some problems with missing luggage from another flight. Olympic web site very good. Booked on line at short notice and tickets arrived within 48 hours

Nostalgia - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Keith P  (07 September 2003)         

Very good meal with excellent service. Price was reasonable too.

St Nicholas Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Keith P           

A very good beach with well organised water sports. The worst bit was the state of the toilets - they were disgusting on both days we visited.

Argassi Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Keith P           

We thoroughly enjoyed Argassi. The beach is poor, but we knew this when we booked. A great choice of places to eat (especially Venitsiana) and the night life was good. We stayed at Paradise Studios which was a nice distance away from the main town (10 minute walk)

Day trip to Kefalonia - (Zante Excursions)

Keith P           

We paid €25 each for this trip and it was outstanding value. The stops were perhaps a little too short, but on our trip this was caused by a totally selfish British couple who decided to take 25 minutes longer than allocated in the capital of Kefalonia for shopping. They did'nt even apologise when they were found by the courier and got back on the coach and were 'blanked' by the passengers upstairs on the coach apparently. This little event ruined our swimming stop. We booked through Dionisis Tours in Argassi (thanks George) and the driver (Spiros) and the courier (Mellisa) were excellent. The coach was air conditioned and very comfortable. We went the opposite way around the island to avoid the other coaches - and it worked - we never met them at the stops. The underground lake is beautiful and well worth a visit. The island is much quieter than Zante. It is a long day. We were picked up at 7.20am and got back to our apartments at 9.30pm, but it was well worth it. If we had booked through Olympic Holidays, it would have cost us €38 rather than €25 for exactly the same tour.

Citibank 24hours Cash Machine - (Banks in Zante)

Keith P           

Two cash machines in Argassi. Used them both and they were o.k.
