Cheap and cheerful apartments. Cleaner did a great job. Good sized pool, cleaned every day (bit grimey around the edges. Short walk from civilization. Kalamaki is fantastic for couples/young families. If it's a party you are after go to Laganas. Try and eat at as many of the restaurants as possible, as I didn't have one bad meal, infact they were all great. I would avoid "Famous Mermaids" though. It just gets far too busy, and when there are cheaper, quicker, and better food served all over Kalamaki then why bother with the one that "boasts the loudest". Make sure to check out the "Cave bar", and get the buggy up the hill. Watch out for the "flower girls" EVERY time you sit down to have a meal; they are damned persistant. Take a trip or two, and shop around, the prices vary between tour operators (and don't buy your trips with the company you booked your holiday through; what a rip off). You'll love it, Two Brothers is a more than adequate place to stay (if you get used to the shower - but that's bog standard Greece for you). Drink the local beer (Mythos), drink cocktails aplenty (between 2.5 and 4.5 Euros). The Two Bros do a couple of mean cocktails. Sorted me out on more than one occaision. Oh yeah, and if you go in July/August take plenty factor 25. You will frazzle otherwise. I did, and boy did it hurt.

Hi. We are getting married next year in Alykes (May/June 2005.) We have been to Zakynthos before (Kalamaki)and loved it, so that's why we chose the island for our wedding/honeymoon. Anyone out there got any "must go to" places that they can recommend?Or for that matter any "must avoid" places? Or for that matter, any help or advice that you might have to offer. PS Please no "Don't do it" pieces of advice, I've already had a few dozen of them.
