Achillion Apartments

DO NOT BOOK ANY HOLIDAY IN AMOUDI THROUGH T & A Travel (amoudidirect)
Although I did not stay at the above apartments I spoke to others that did, and we were all left high and dry by this so called Company and had to pay again for our apartments. my advice is if you would like a holiday in Amoudi (it is a beautiful quiet place and the people are all very friendly) PLEASE BOOK DIRECT WITH THE APARTMENT OWNERS

Great Apartments in a fantastic location.Resort is nice and quiet and uncommercialised,like Alykes used to be!Rooms well fitted out and kept reasonably clean (July 03)all with sea views over the pool area.Also has own restaurant..but i didnt use it!Preferred the excellent Blue dolphin behind it for lunch time snacks and evening drinks.Gary & Jo were very hospitable (Hi Guys!!).Pool is excellent and with free sunbeds!A choice of beaches to wander down to with sand on and gently shelving into the sea.
We booked through www.amoudidirect.co.uk and were very happy with the service as it all went like clockwork.Taxis to and from the airport instead of those horrid coach transfers!!!
We would definitely go again.
Other great restaurants were Tassos and Amoudi Grill in Amoudi and Paradosiako in Alykes and Mantalena in Alikanas.Also try the taverna high up on the hill with the church overlooking the Island.Amazing Panoramic views and great at sunset!!!Car required-we usede Peppas Car Hire and were very pleased all round.
If you want a relaxing holiday base in a greek village not too far from other resorts then AMOUDI is for you.It is beautiful and only 20 mins in a taxi from the airport!!!

for more info try the links from www.alykes.com and www.amoudidirect.co.uk

My wife and I have just had two weeks at the Achillion with friends and have had a wonderful holiday. The studios are spotlessly clean and the pool is maintained to a very high standard by Spyros. The food is both traditional and Greek national and we enjoyed every meal thanks to Niki and Alessandras.
Like most Zante resorts the beaches (2) are quite narrow but swimming in the sea is an absolute pleasure. There are some very good walks along the sea or inland and we made it to Alykanas/Alykes a few times and almost to Tsilivi. If you want a holiday away from the 'popular' areas them Amoudi is the place. If you want to see the rest of the island then a small car (with air conditioning cost us 200 Euros for a week) is advised.
We booked through Amoudi Direct ( http://www.amoudidirect.co.uk/ ) and the whole holiday went like clockwork. We'll be back in September.

the amoudidirect site is excellent, we have booked two holidays through them this year to the achillion and they have been nothing but helpful - give people a chance, they are trying to help the greeks as jmc pulled out this year, which is actually good as they were useless and the holidays cost a fortune!

My husband, Ben and I have stayed at the achillion for the last 6 years. We love the place and the people. Can't wait to go back again this year and would recommend it to anyone. speros and his family can't do enough for you and they will make your stay an unforgettable one.

jmc dont operate in Amoudi no more i was there on the last day of the season the address of the apartments is:

Achillion studios,
Ano Gerakari,
Zakinthos.
Greece.

The Phone number is 003069561325 or 003069563591

hope that helps.

I hav stayed at the Achillion many times and it is excellent.

In 1998/1999/2000 I was a Holiday Rep based in Amoudi, at the Achillion. These apartments are excellent and are located in the best position in Amoudi. There is a fantastic restaurant serving everything from drinks and snacks to a'la carte meals. There is also a wonderful large swimming pool with free sunloungers and the view from all the rooms the restaurant and the pool is breathtaking. Also new for 2002, steps have been built which lead directly onto the sandy beach. The owner Spyrros and his lovely family are constantly on hand to ensure that you have a brilliant holiday. I have been holidaying in Amoudi since I finished repping , and I go 2 times a year to stay with Spyrros and his family, at there house in the village and also at the Achillion. We have become lifelong friends and they treat me as one of their own family members. If anyone would like any Infomation regarding the Achillion or how to book it, as it is not in the 2003 brochures please contact me and I will contact Spyross and his family for you. With Regards Michelle.

We were told there will be a meeting next year to decide which tour operater will operate to amoudi, it may still be jmc, personally i would phone the owner and just get the flights, if anyone would like the number please e-mail me at paul@nelly27.fsnet.co.uk and i will do my best to help you

i owuld just like to say that i ate at the restaurant there all last week and it was fantastic. i would though like to know the address of the restaurant in Amoudi so thati can send them the pictures my family and the owners had taken together. please help!

We stayed in the Achillion last year. It was excellent. The staff are really friendly and the bbq night is a must. If your looking for a relaxing holiday, this is the place. Were going again on 11th of july and can't wait.

The Achillion Apratments are fantastic, very spacious, very clean and excellent value for money. Amoudi is ideal if you want to het away from it all.

Just arrived back from a brilliant holiday in Amoudi. We stayed at the Achillion Apartments for 2 weeks and thought the apartments were a very good standard for **/*** suns in the JMC brochure. We aslo ate at the restaurant at the apartments several times, the service and food was first class.

We’ve just returned, we had a wonderful two weeks staying in the Achillion apartments, I've been going to Greece for over 20 years and I must say Achillion is cleanest place I have ever stayed in and the view from room 14 was superb!

We have just come back and cannot wait to return to this part of Zante. Unfortuantley Achillion does not cater for the private sector you can only be in these appartments if you travel with JMC.

If anyone is going to Amoudi/Alikanas without accomodation booked you would not have any problems renting rooms or apartments whilst there. I have been staying in both these locations for the past ten years and have never used a travel company. If you want specific details email me on patricia@elanrecruitment.com

Last year (2000), We stayed at Julia Apartments which were advertised as part of the Achillon Apartments (with JMC). Everything was just so perfect, we wanted to stay in the same apartment this year. JMC no longer have Julia apartments in their brochure, and I have been searching fruitlessly for a mention of them anywhere. I already have plane tickets, so I am hoping to find an empty apartment when I arrive (August/September) . If you could find me a telephone number or address for Julia Apartments, I would be eternally grateful.
