A very nice bar, where you can just chill out and listen to a good range of music.
 
Spiros is lovely friendly funny and kind and is always welcoming, Vikki is a little more reserved  but once warmed up is also very nice (hey she is English).
 
My only critism is the drinks, the beer is very good but fizzy soft drinks and mixers can be a little flat. I think this is because they use large bottles rather than individual bottles like most bars do.
 
Aside from this it is by far one of the the nicest bars in the area and certainly deserves a visit.

Just about to decend on the Virago for 3 weeks.

 
If you want somwhere to relax and chill before you hit the sack then this is the place. Great company great music and even better people..

Hi Claire, spent a week at the beach house at the end of May, and there is no sand on the beach, just pebbles and stones.Hope this helps, im sure you will enjoy it anyway!

Claire C          10/10

   Can anyone tell me, is the sand back on the beach in front of the beach house apartments ???

Had an excellent week here in 2005, but a rough winter had taken the sand off beach leaving just pebbles.
My Husband and two very excited young boys will be here again in August for our hols, and all they keep asking is will there be sand on the beach this time, as for my husband and myself, as long as the drinks in Virago Bar are cold we're happy.

Sue L

Have been waiting to say this all year, see you tomorrow Vicky and Spiros!

Theresa S          10/10

WE  are really looking forward to seeing Vickie and Spiros , they probably don't remember us, Roll on the 1st of august

Hi to Vicki and Spiros!

Just returned from another fabulous 2 weeks, I think we nearly drank the bar dry on more than one occasion...  Thanks for making us so welcome, and thanks for the cappucinos!!!  Although I'm still recovering from the flaming sambucas...
See you  next year!

Hi Jo, I've only just seen your comment, if you want to get in touch, drop me a line by post with your email   address on it, the address is just Virago bar, Alikes, Zante 290 90. Greece.

Dot            

 Hi Jo, Vikki & Spiros do look on here so  I am am sure they will see your posting. At the moment Vikki is in the UK enjoying a well earned rest.

Jo F           

Hello, I've been back the last 3 years running, because the island is soo soo wonderful, but the best was Virago Bar, run by Vikki and Spiros. Does anyone have their email, I've managed to lose it and i would love to contact her. jo x

Dave B           

Yes got to Agree Dot.  This year we went to another Greek island (Naxos) for our main holiday. Not long after coming back we both decided we needed a true holiday and booked a late deal to Alykes. I have never been mid september and as much as I admit we got lucky with the weather it would not have mattered. The Virago bar was by a long shot the most popular bar in the resort. By 11 every night when all the other bars were dead the Virago was buzzing and busy. Vikki Spiros you should be proud of what you have created in the Virago. We will see you next Year.  Love Dave and Yvonne x

Dot            

 Another excellent holiday. Best Bar in the whole of Alykes. See you next Sept Vikki & Spiros. love dot brian Mick & Nicky

Dot            

 5 weeks today we'll be there

Dot            

 It's a long time till Sept Vikki & Spiros, but looking forward to seeing you both again. Have a very successful season. love dot & brian xx

Hi Spiro & Vicky.
Do you realise that there are only 3 bars in Alykes rated at 10/10!!! I'm sure you would be right out in front if the rating system went higher.
Have a really good Christmas & New Year.
See you in June '05 and it looks like several other 'regulars will too!
Thanks for adding so much much to our last holiday.

Mr & Mrs 'Roosty Nail' ;-)

Superb bar, excellent cocktails (generous measures), and Spiros is the friendliest barman i've ever met. We had a great time in Alykes and Virago was the perfect place to start/end the evening. Keep up the good work Spiros!

agree what everyone says
the virago is really great
vicci and spiros are really nice people

Claire P           

Nice bar nice cocktails! Try the Alternative Virago - a pink fruity creamy drink with loads of calories!!! Yum. Spiros very friendly, and comes round with "A little Yammas" shot glass each night.

A nice bar to chill out in

Sue L           

Dear Vicky and Spyros, just sobered up from our holiday in May, wow what lovely weather we had.

Perhaps you may wish to take the night off. See you soon, only 3 weeks to go and counting down every day.

We have been going to Zakynthos every year for about 10 and always try to stay in the Beach House. We came last year with all the family and Spiros and Vicky made us very welcome and didnt bat an eyelid at Simon's red and white hair do (it was middle of World Cup). To answer previous question about Paradise Pool. It is magical, very clean, good kids area, nice sunbeds, friendly staff (especially Christo). The full english breakfast is the best! Just to let you know Spiros and Vicky we are due back on 3rd July, and one of us will be celebrating a big birthday on the 6th so get the cocktail shaker ready!!

Vicki & Spiros Thanks again and I will be taking you up on the offer of the run up the mountian. (enjoy the Pajero) Take care See you next year. Oh and agreed about the people in No 13. You always get one and thay were definatly them. hhhmmm

Dave W           

Hi Spiro & Vicky. Just booked for July 2003 but couldn't get into the Beach House 1, so have had to book into Paradise. Hope you have a really good summer season and a nice winter break. Don't let idiots like that bunch in appt 13 in July, upset you. They are not representative of the majority of guests who are true Grecophiles. Yia sas! & don't run out of Drambuie.

Carole F
