Dionysis Apartments

Happy New Year to you all.

Booked for June 20th but Olympic still don't fly from Newcastle so we can't stay here again but we will be by the pool every day as usual. Don't know what people mean when they say these are average. They are advertised as basic studios and that's what they are, but they are clean, in a good postion and the Greek family who own them are very good hosts. They will leave you alone if that's what you want but will look after you and be friendly if you make the effort to get to know them.

So we're looking forward to seeing Ronnie, Gill and the rest of the gang and Ian & Kaz when they get around to booking something. Nicola & David are arriving on 12th. If it was rubbish so many people wouldn't go back year after year would they?  Yamas my friends from The Parrys!

have stayed at the apartments for the past 4 years and have loved it. already booked for next year yiannis,dennis and spiros are so easy to get on with an make you so welcome. people moan about how basic the apartments but how long do you really spend in them. we spend many days sat chillin round the pool and the food at the bar is really nice, but do try and hire a car or quad and go into the mountains theres some fantastic sights to see. we can't wait to go back next year and i would definatly say you have to go

Hey Matt, was that room T6? Looks like the room me n my bf stayed in! Recognise the dodgy lights!If it was, was my weird colourful storage hanger thing in the wardrobe?

Hey Matt what date did you go to these apartments?  I guess i'm just hoping the two couples you were referring dint include us...!   Saying that though, the other couple we went with didn't really want to do anything but stay beside the lovely clean pool!  Which was annoying to say the least- it's definately worth going on the tours and stuff that's organised, I was dying to go to that Greek night that Olympic holidays organised to Keri I think it was- could anybody tell me what is like for next time's booking?!  Costas definately is king of the Greek nights so far.... 

Nah the shipwreck trip isn't a con.  You can see it either on a coach tour round the island or on a boat tour round the island- the only way to literally touch it is by going on the boat tour, in which case the boat parks up and you have to swim to it, if i remember rightly, the water's bloomin freezing!  And I think the beach which it is on is shingle.  In my opinion the coach tour was best, saying that though it was a fair few years ago that I went on it.  Each to their own I suppose! 

Hellas  Well what can i say.. Me and my Mom and Brother really enjoyed our stay! Its going to be a holiday to never forget as we had so much fun! The apartments are very basic but that didnt bother us as they were clean and we had beds which was all that mattered. The balcony had a beautiful mountain/hill view. Cleaners came round twice while we were there and they are very friendly. The pool side is very relaxing, clean & has music playing during the day. But for all the shallow swimmers make sure you check how deep it is before jumping in because its deeper than it looks. The bar is very clean and relaxing also and the drinks and food are very cheap! Club sandwhich and Special sandwhich were our favourite food on the menu and are a must try. Banana Bliss cocktail drink is a must try too. The brothers Yanis, Spiros & Denis are very friendly and constantly made us laugh. They seem very quiet and misserable but deep down they aint! Haha. Overall the stay was fantastic and we really enjoyed it. You are in the middle of everything you need like shops, bars, restuarants and beach. Greek night at the Costa Bar 5 minuite walk from apartments on a Tuesday night is a must try and is a night to never forget! We didnt enjoy the boat trip though! Payed 20 euros each to go and see the ship wreck and turtles and in the end we didnt see neither of them because of the weather at sea..(waves were too bad aparantley) HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY EVER SEEN THE SHIPWRECK? Because we come to the conclusion that it maybe a bit of a con. Kalamaki is a place to relax and there is always something going on if you get a bit bored. Its a place which you either Hate or Love and WE LOVED IT. We will be back next year.

Yamas.

Apartments were basic,get what you paid for, Kitchen,little bathroom(showers are an expeirence lol) 2 single beds which everyone pushed 2gether as we could hear them moving funiture in other apartments. Didnt really have any food from the place (breakfast once which was good,try the iguana bar towards the beach mmm yummy).Nice pool area where you get the sun most of the day.1 downside is that you can hear the planes coming & going but its ok at night time as there not allowed to fly between 11pm-5am. Only 100yds or so from the main kalamaki strip which was good,supermarket next door aswell + its 10mins walk to the beach, which was a disapointment as the beach is narrow and gets very packed.Overall i think its got a great location for the town,bar,food,pool (which two couples seemed to stay at the site 24/7... GO OUT AND EXPLORE THE ISLAND! Argh!!!!)

All in all it was a good stay, food was good in bar, even though a bit pricey, pool area is great, gets the sun all the way to evening, apartments are basic, but we didn't expect anything less for a 2* apartment, they get cleaned 3 times a week, i paid just over £400 for two of us for a week and for my money i dont think i can complain.

I love Zante!  These apartments were actually the most basic i've ever stayed in in the Kalamaki resort (this was my sixth time coming here) but I guess half the time most won't be in the apartments a lot through the day anyway.  Cleaners definately did a good job.  They are in a good location, with about a 15 minute walk to the beach and about 15 minutes to the other end of Kalamaki where Cave Bar and such like are (the 'original' Kalamaki!).  It's a good, clean pool, the sun's on it all day until around 7 o clock, and bar/food service is good in the Scorpion bar, friendly.  There was only myself who was really used to the 'Greek way' in our party of four who came here- those who are used to going to places other than Greece may be rather shocked and disgusted when they get here due to the really basic apartments (i.e. hand held showers, the toilet paper in the bin thing...), but it wouldn't take much getting used to!  I'd stay here again I think, but I know the other 3 probably won't be rushing back in a hurry...  You get aircraft noise, which is pretty obvious as the airport's only bout 3 miles away, and scooters racing about on the main road- these apartments are just set back off the main kalamaki-laganas road.  All in all- a great holiday in my opinion!

not impressed with this apartment at all. i paid over £1000 for two people sharing and i feel really disappointed and cheated. it was terrible. we have stayed in zante for three years and have never complained once. i understand basic but this place was diabolical. i will not be staying here again but apart from that zante is still far the best island out of all of greece.

I don't get why people keep going on about the safety deposit boxes.. why would they give you your money back? what would be in it for them? it says 15pound a week (or whatever it is) it doesn't say you get your money back! It is just a safe to deposit your valuables in ?!?!
