| once again my wife and myself are booking our holidays with jimmy ,chrissie ,george .theo etc as for the past eight years we and our family have enjoyed relaxing holidays . where you can do as little or as much as you like .
I shake my head in disgust when I read some of the comments on this page , from the first time we visited we have had nothing but pleasure from our holidays and jimmy and his family have adopted us we feel at home . so much so we have had our daughter and my sister in law out with us , we have had my wifes neice and her husband and 2 small children ( see around the pool the 2 girls in kiddies pool) and would not have done so if the roads were dangerous. I have limited mobility but find the walk to Alikes no problem , you can always stop for a rest or a deink of coffee<0r something stronger.
this year our daughter and her partner and our friends are joining us , we hope to meet old frienfds we have met previously and will definitleybe in Heatwave to see Tassis and Denis. DONT BE PUT OFF BY CHEAPSKATES , these are the type of people who go on holiday and want fish and chips and sunday dinners , ok so jimmy charges a little extra let the man make a living. | |

 My wife and I have just returned from a 2 week holiday at the Soula apts and had a really good holiday, the weather was amazing for the whole 2 weeks. The apts are basic, 2 ring hob, toaster, kettle and fridge but are perfect as a base for your holiday. Alykes is a 15-20 min walk where you will find the beach along with various shops and restaurants, we found Relax, right on the crossroads in Alykes to be very good, most of the restaurants average about 6 euro for a main meal .One problem we found was the prices on the complex, the pool bar isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination and you will find the on site supermarket more expensive than the surrounding shops. If you know you can get food and drink cheaper by taking a short walk then you're going to do it, we, and many other guests we spoke to, would have really liked to have stayed around the pool and have a snack but 2.90 euro for a portion of frozen chips!!  , just under 7 euro for burger and chips, unbelievable !!, the pool bar has a long menu so if you plan to eat there take plenty of money because it's more expensive the the UK. It's 2.50 for a myhtos (a bottle of greek beer) when everywhere else charges 2 euro, nip to the supermarkets, buy your mythos for around 90 cents and put it in the fridge for a few hours, a big saving , you'll have to drink these on your balcony though because all food and drink around the pool must be bought from the pool bar!!.We hired a scooter and took a trip upto the blue caves, 6 euro for a boat trip that takes you right into the caves and lets you have a 10-15 min swim, well recommended. We also did the shipwreck at a later date, 8 of us went and managed to get it for 11 euro each, the beach is all shingle so take something to put on your feet. At the end of the holiday we didn't want to come home and would probably go back, as long as you realise that Alykes is designed totally for the tourist then you'll have a great time. | |

| We went to Zakynthos for a relaxing break and found it at Soula. Jimmy and his family and staff
were perfect hosts and could not be more friendly or helpful.
Our studio apartment was excellent and there is also a very good pool, bar and shop on
site. If that's not enough the beach and restaurants are only 10 minutes walk away in Alykes town.
Or go 10 minutes in the other direction to Katastari where you get a more local vibe in the
bars and tavernas there.
In short the whole complex is really well designed - good to look at, nice to spend time
in. It's really well thought out. And it's a great base for exploring this beautiful island | |

| having stayed at the soula apts for the last 11 yrs we cannot fault the friendliness of jimmy and his family, they always make it home from home for us and nothing is too much trouble. the accomodation may be basic but it is adequate for what is needed on a self catering holiday , the mini market and snack bar are great and oscars bar in the evening provides a good start and end to the evening.as for other comments on this site regarding drugs etc must have been one off's if they happened at all as we have never experienced anything like this in 11 years.we cannot wait to see you all again , counting down the days till the 16/06/06 and meeting kristy for the first time.

| Visited Sellini Apartments in August 2005 had a wonderful time. The only holiday where we managed to relax on our first day.
Accommodation was fantastic and Jimmy and his family made us feel so welcome, going back this year in August so looking forward to seeing them again then.
Having two children we found the location ideal, infact they were hardly out of the pool where they managed to make loads of friends.
Alikes town offered a number of excellent restaurants and the prices were so reasonable, and of course the mode of transport - horse and carriage a real novelty!
Can't wait to see you in August.

We have just come back from a week at the Sellini Apartments and we loved it! The apartments are stunning and beautifully kept. The surroundings are beautiful as well. We didnt have much to do with any of the staff as we never had any problems but got the feeling that they were there to help if we needed them. The pool area is kept spotless and was a lovely place to sit and chill out. It is about a 20 minute walk into the centre of Alikes and for this reason i would not recommend these apartments if you are of limited mobility or have lots of young children. The road is very busy and cars come screaming round the corners on both sides. It was quite dangerous and we had a few hair raising moments while walking along! The centre of Alikes has a wide variety of restaurants and bars and all are a lot cheaper than eating at the apartments snack bar.(Try the Olypmic bar & kitchen, and the Cheers bar - both fab)
we had a lovely time here - the weather was suprisingly good for October - it usually rains there in October. All in all a good place to stay - we will definitely be going back! | ||||||||||
