Busters - (Bars in Alykanas)

Steve B           

I have been to Zante, holidaying at Alykanas for about six years. This bar is great. Pete, Lesley, Ron and Jackie run it and is very family friendly. Breakfasts are top, and after getting hammered on Lesley's excellent alcoholic milk shakes the night before, you can recover with a massive breakfast and a huge mug of coffee. Children will love the ice cream specials, and the bar serves a good selection of snacks and meals. The lazy among you can take advantage of the pack lunches the bar provides, by ordering them a day ahead. Great people, great service, and no grief. Thoroughly recommended. Sadly, not a pick up joint, so I am not marking it on its letch factor.

Greedy Greek - (Restaurants in Alykanas)

Steve B  (01 August 2001)         

I went here about five years ago, and in six trips since, I have never ventured into it again. Another reviewer liked it, so maybe things have changed. However, I ordered a simple starter (sausage, chips, and taramasalata) and a main meal of chops with vegetables, with a salad as a side dish. I waited fifty minutes and my salad turned up. I waited another twenty and the starter arrived. The sausage was cold, as were the chips, and the taramasalata was missing. The chops arrived well later, were cold, etc; You are getting the picture. My one and only visit to this restaraunt was not good, and I cannot be detrimental enough about the service and the quality of food. The good news from this review is that I didn't have to go back there again, as round the corner from the Greedy Greek are The Poseidon (excellent), Mantalena's (very good) and Caretta Caretta (very good). There is not reason to go to a place you have had a bad experience with twice, as there is so much choice within fifty yards.

Alkionis - (Restaurants in Alykanas)

Alkyonis is superb. The menu is expansive, the prices good, the food excellent. Can't go wrong. Recommend anything from the grill, and the Special Alkyonis oven baked pasta dish. The Aubergines a la chef is a great starter. I always eat at least three times here when I go, and it has stood the test of time. Thanks to everyone at the Alkyonis for putting up with me over the years!

Mill Bar - (Bars in Alykanas)

Julie, Spiros, and Paul run a super bar, complete with bouncy castle for the kids. Great atmosphere, quiet, and superb service. I will be back on 5th August, fellas, if you are reading this! See you for an Amstel or five! (well, this year I am with te wmaon and kid ...).

Poseidon - (Restaurants in Alykanas)

Steve B  (02 August 2001)         

Absolutely marvellous! Service is quick and efficient, the food is great. Thoroughly recommend the spit roast lamb (as did another reviewer), the spaghetti carouza, and a special chicken dish from the grill which has cheese and ham grilled inside the chicken. Salads are good here, and the children will love the ice creams. I do not undrstand why the Poseidon is filed under Alykes, as it is between the Greedy Greek and Mantalenas, and directly opposite La Caretta in Alykanas. All of which have been filed under Alykanas. Guess that is the spirit of Greece, eh?

Toms Place - (Restaurants in Alykes)

Fans of Cyril's cooking from Lofos and Diogenes will get the usual high standards here. Recommend the fried squid. For those partial to a tipple, ask Cyril for his raisin brandy. Excellent stuff, and cures most things - other than hangovers - and tastes fantastic!
