Rainbow Apartments

just wanted to say that we are very thankful for the wonderful hospitality that we have received from all at the rainbow. Thanks for making our wedding day so specialwe are looking forward to coming back in october for another two weeks and we cant wait to see you then xxx

Thanks to Nikos, Athena and all at Rainbow for giving Alice and I a wonderful holiday.  Nothing was too much trouble for you and the room, pool and all the facilities were perfect.   It says something for a place when people come from the other apartments to spend time and eat at Rainbow.  The food was great and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy your hospitality.  I cannot close without thanking you all for giving us a lovely "Do" on our 60th wedding anniversary.  It was  so kind of you.  Thanks once again. Fred Leggett

Hello, I'm looking at going back to Kalamaki at the end of August and I was wondering if somebody could tell me where the Rainbow Apartments are please, I have been to Kalamaki before and I am familiar with the area. 

Had a great stay at Rainbow as always.    Can't wait to return.  Nicos and Athena are a lovely couple and are always on hand to help in any way possible.  Looking forward to seeing everyone in the near future.

Another wonderful stay at The Rainbow, a big thank you to the Margaris family for making Lauren & Anthony's wedding so special and making everyone so welcome. Look forward to seeing you all next time.

What a lovely holiday we have just had at the Rainbow,our hosts Nicos and Athena treat us like V.I.P. guests.The Rainbow is small only 30 romms but very cosy and friendly,clealiness was much better than stated in the brochure.The food at hte Rainbow as in all off Kalamaki was wonderful,and very very good value for money.Nicos and Athena,along with their staff bent over backwards to make sure your time with them was memorable and it really was.Only sad point of the holiday was having to go home,but rest assured WE WILL GO BACK TO THE RAINBOW.                                                                                                Liz and Russ Layton

We have just returned from staying at these apartments.

Even if you are not staying here try going there for something to eat. The food is good and priced very well.

Thank you for a lovely holiday. Shame about the weather.

Anne, James and Jessica.

Cant believe comment by Rachael

We have had the best holidays at the Rainbow and have made some great friends. Every  time we arrive, we are treated like family by Nikos, Athena and family. Its great to see the same guests (now friends) every year its like a club!!If you want night life go to Laganas. We are very happy with the pool (which has been there for a few years). Don't miss out on a meal at the taverna as it is a smashing Greek treat you will not be disappointed. We like the Rainbow so much our daughter is having her wedding reception there. See you all in May.

Can't believe the recent poor review for these great family run apartments.Athena and Nikos have the perfect remedy for a relaxing holiday!!New apartments added last year with more facilities.Great pool with childrens area too has been there several years now.Pool bar serves breakfast and snacks when you need them.Fantastic restaurant for superb Greek meals cooked by Niko's mum in the evenings!Easy stroll to the great beach or the shops.Lost count how many times I've stayed there,but always a warm welcome for everyone!Can't wait for next holiday.See you in May!!

ps::take no notice for the incorrect comments

there is a swimming pool for the last 4 years.

hiya my name is rachel

if you are looking for a good time not to go here. in all honesty the rainbow is very clean however there is no night life around. there is no swimming pool at these apartments so there is nothing to do in the day, unless you go next door where they make great cheese toasties. i found a lizard in my bedroom and had to brush it out with a broom. there is no air-conditionig, we had to take frozen bottles of water to bed with us, even thougfh we had hired two fans. they did f**k all!

i warn you don’t go !!!!!!!!!!!!!

been back 2 wks now after our stay at the rainbow, will def be back. the rooms were clean and spacious and the staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. the big screens were great for the films and the football

Just returned from our stay at these apartments and must say that they are the best I have every stayed in whilst in Greece.  Our room was very spacious and clean.  The family runing the apartments were fabulous, nothing too much trouble.  The pool and bar area was spotlessly clean.  A very nice complex - not too big so that you can't get a sun bed!  The only small down side were the inconsiderate family who woke everyone up at 4 o'clock in the morning banging doors when they came in.  You know who you are!!!!! 

Greta and ricky are just back from rainbow both pensioners

just come back from staying at rainbows.it was a clean place to stay but we spent most of our time down at longstory bar and had a gud time wiv pete n sharon and there pool was clean and we got on really well wiv em.will be returning back to kalamaki nxt year and staying at the long story bar appartments

Oops - Deppy's is on the right not left - bottom Beach Road!  Really lovely couple - you'll get a warm welcome there - as with all the local restaurants we visited....

We have just spent a week at the Rainbow Apartments.  We found rooms exceptionally clean - cleaners tended the room at least 3 times and sheets were changed at lease once, with plenty of clean towels.  The reception area and bar is nicely decorated and the pool is great.  There is an X-Box for kids and the taverna and snacks were really good.  The family that run the apartments went out of their way to help out.  Bars and restaurants are a short walk away - try "Deppy's" if you fancy a good English Breakfast or Sunday roast - English run, found at the bottom left of Beach Road.  Deppy's also prepare a picnic (lovely baps with fresh salad, chicken breast, ham etc, a piece of fruit and a drink - a must to take to the airport on your return as there's little there!)  Eating out, trips etc are very cheap - you'll find it hard to spend your money - although there are some really nice gift shops nearby!

Hi

just got back from a fantastic time at the rainbow apts  recomend it to anybody

Athena, Nikosand family thanks for another wonderful holiday, Moussaka fantastic as usual keep up the good work. Hope the plans for the expansion go well, look forward to seeing you all next year. Sally and George

I've just returned after a fortnight's hols (again) and want to say how great it has been. The only problem was it went too fast. I feel like i have only had 2 days not 2 weeks. I'm definately going for 3 weeks at least next year.

Julia xxxx  

Hi does the rainbow have any facilities like a pooltable or any thing or are there any close by to use? Just thought i would ask as i go in 2 weeks and have heard that all the other facilities are great eg the pool and bar

Owners and staff are very friendly & helpful. Rooms are kept clean and are comfortable (typical Greek apartment) but there is only one set of clean bed linen and one set of clean towels supplied to last a whole week (either bring extra towels or wash them through). Food at the Rainbow in the evening is very good but snacks served during the day could be better. The pool is great - good sunbeds. Overall we had a great holiday and will definitely stay at the Rainbow again.

We're heading to Kalamaki on the 3rd July and wondered whether we need to take towels when staying at Rainbow Studios....?  We need to know what else we need to take that we might forget.  Please could someone tell us.  See you there!  Love Bel, Lau, Katie, Elly, Emsy and Ailsa xxx 

Rainbow apartments can be booked through a company called Manos Holidays brochure was picked up at Going Places, Have not been to apartments yet but am looking forward to it.

Rainbow apartments sound excellent, but where can you book them? Are they part of a package holiday? and how much are they per week?

We have just booked a holiday at Rainbow apts and would like to know if towels are provided.

Just wonderin, ive stayed in Kalamaki twice before and would like to stay somewhere different this time. Here looks nice but i havnt a clue where it is! could someone please write back to inform me where abouts rainbow is and is it near Kalamaki road! thnx a lot beckie xx

hello athena and nikos we had the best time at your apartments we will definitely come back to see you. you are the nicest people and anyone thinking of going to the rainbow apartments should definitely try it. lots of love maria, steve, luke, amber and billy x x

Have enjoyed our stays at the Rainbow so much we are planning to return again this summer 2005. Excellent location, just a short walk from the resort and the beautiful Kalimaki beach. The Rainbow appartments have all you need for a relaxing holiday - a pool and pool bar and a restaurant serving delicious home cooked,greek cuisine. Lovely! Nostimo!!

Very friendly helpful staff. Water for tea/coffee had to be boiled in a pan. Try to stay on top floor - a bit of a climb but good views and nice breeze.

Trust me.... This place is FANTASTIC!!!
You wont meet nicer people than Nikos and Athena, they really know how this busines works. I had the best holiday of my life. I usually find it almost impossible to relax, but this place makes life so easy and so simple. If I had the money I would definately visit the Rainbow apartments again.

Excellent. Rooms were good- even got a shower curtain ! Fridge & kitchenette with all utensils. Pool bar is pretty cheap & Taverna evening meals were very good and good prices too. Pool is very clean and not too deep (about 5.5 feet at deepest), quiet & relaxing. Owners are very friendly & helpful. 5th time in Kalamaki, 1st time here, would book again. 10 mins walk to centre, 15 mins to beach.
Cockerels start quite early but if you close the shutter & glass patio doors you don't really here them. Actually they become quite a novelty. Will add some pics to the rest.

Hi Lisa. Yes the rooms are equiped with all your basics, Hob with 2 rings, cutlery, plates, cups, glasses, even draining board and bread board, but i'm not sure why you want to cook as its so cheap to go to the snack bar or Taverna which are just downstairs. mozzies are not as bad this time of year but take plug-in and repellent just in case. Have a great holiday!

forgot to ask - are mosquitoes rife??? do i need to grab the DEET!!!

The Rainbow apartments are the rooms equipped with fridge, hob rings, cooking utensils, cultelry, plates etc ??? i know Greece is basic just wanna be prepared!!! appreciate any comments. ta v. much

i gotta say i had such a laugh in the raibow apartmeant thats were i met carmel she was such a laugh and laura. Ahthina and nikos were really nice people and they made us feel really welcome and im gonna miss em love ya

We have just come home form a great holiday Athina and Nicos were excellent and the rest of their family were great. Accomodation was basic but clean, the rooms were cleaned often and the linen changed often as well. The kids had a great time playing pool and in the pool which was great fun they really enjoyed the Monday night pool party once again a big thanks for a really great time we will be back.

Always enjoyed our holidays here. even better now there is a pool and great pool bar. Restaurant great value for money and every one really friendly. Will definately return!!

I thought the rainbow was an amazin place 2 stay 4 da price, v.v.v gud value 4 money. We made loadza mates there & da ppl were luvly who ran da place!! Da pool is absolutely gorgeous. The place all round exceeded expectations!! Thanks 2 every1 there 4 givin us 1 of th best hols eva!!

I have just come back from a lovely holiday staying at Rainbow. We stay there each year but it was great having the pool and pool bar area this year. Athena and Nikos have worked so hard to get the pool ready for this year. We really enjoyed it. Thanks Athena and Nikos and see you next year. Sam and Fil xxxx

First let me say CONGRATULATIONS to you on winning the Euro Football Cup. I'll bet there were a few hangovers on Monday Morning. BRAVO!!!! I bet Nicos and Athena were up all night on the Racki or the Ouzo. I stayed at the Rainbow last year and really enjoyed it. It's a place where you can go to get away from it all. The family are lovely people and will welcome you with open arms. I've just come back from there again and shall be booking shortly to go again next year. This is a place where you can go to stay and never need to leave as they have Rooms, Taverna, Bar and a Pool so you could spend the whole week or forghtnight at the Rainbow. Can't wait till next year. See you all soon. Julia

Rainbow is great! as there was 13 of us on the weeks trip we were loud enough for all the guest's! ( sorry to all who had to put up with us!! hehe) the pool and bar was cracking and food is great too! the owners are a great laugh and made this one of my favourite holidays ever! thanks again to all who helped! the position of the apartments is spot one also... it's a 2 minute walk to the strip of pubs and a couple of small bars and 5-10minutes to the beach. but its a nice 5 minute walk with the option of stopping at all the shop's or bars on the way!all in all a great place to stay! hope that answers all questions! chris

Staying at the Rainbow for the first we had a first class holiday.
We have visited Kalamaki many times and have eaten at the rainbow, but never stayed there untill this year (2004).
The new pool and bar has made it into a first class place to stay,the staff are very good and the place is very cleen.
Give it a try.

My girlfriend and I are going to the rainbow apartments in Kalamaki in early September, and we were wondering how far away from the beach is it??

We had a fantastic time staying at The Rainbow. Athina, Nicos and family are wonderful. Great place, great people, great taverna, shame about the fishing! Look forward to seeing you all in October as usual.

The Rainbow prides itself on being quiet, well, it isn't. The apartments are located just outside the main area in the middle of what can only be described as a zoo (cocks and dogs 24/7 - the numerous cats are quiet but tend to get in with the dogs and antagonise them). The furniture in my room seemed okay but had been rigged to break as soon as I sat on it. My claim that it was already broken fell on deaf ears and my holiday representative decided to bat for the opposition. The result? My 52kg being blamed for the demise of a shoddily built bed for which I was charged 90 euro or the police would be called (I later discovered that the police would, like ours, not have been interested). Recommended only if you are waiting to die. I decided to finish my holiday in alternative accommodation.

Rainbow is a good place to stay if you are looking for a quiet base a little out of town. The taverna is OK, but the main selling point has to be its close proximity to Michaelo's Restaurant, easily the best on the island. The rooms are basic but clean, the plumbing needs to be treated with care though, the water pressure is erratic at best! Watch out for the changes when you are in the shower. The balconies get the sun in the morning, so you get a cool shade after lunch, great if you want an hour or two out of the sun. Athena, who seems to manage the place is helpful and attentive. All in all, good, but don't expect any luxury

The Rainbow apartments at the rear of the Rainbow Taverna were quite modern and clean. Anyone visiting the Greek islands should know it will be hot and not expect 5 star accommodation unless they book (and pay for) a five star hotel. Rainbow (like most other holiday apartments) do not have air-conditioned rooms, but they do have sliding doors and net doors/curtains to the balconies. Fans can be rented because like air-conditioning they cost electricity to use them. We prefer the cockerels and cats to 'Thump! Thump! bar music in other areas.

OK these appartments are very basic.No kettle,furniture has seen better days.Cleaner comes twice a week,towels and bedding only changed once in the fortnight- not great when the temp. was in the 100's!
Cockerels and dogs very loud! Cats and kittens mewling under the balconies-a good feed of sardines keeps them quiet!
Keys for the safe in the rooms cost 12 euros a week.Fans (essential in the heat) also for hire at 12 euros a week.
Reps less than helpful. Owners pleasant, friendly folk.
The taverna is OK, food reasonably priced, but nothing special.

I have had no problems while staying at the rainbow apartments, i would recommend them to anyone,you can read what I think under hotels in kalamaki... i am writing in this section to let the readers now that the rubish written below is exactly that rubish... how on earth could raindow apartments possibly be at fault for the cockrels, do you think the locals control this and as for the noise in traffic, do expect rainbow to have traffic laws as well.. As for the reps they are employed by manos tours not Rainbow therefor complaints shoul be made to the operating company itself, oh and as for the pool next door, sure they would be upset you are not their guests and what are you doing at a pool anyways when you have the crystal blue sea at your feet... Oh and like you never forgot to flush the toilet!!!

flip flip thanks for your comments, I have not been yet I was only going on other peoples remarks! read your comments on petrino`s so I think your a pretty good judge! I now look forward to staying at the Rainbow

so chris adams didnt think the rainbow was as good as many people think,but chris what do u want 4 the money its very cheap, also all the studios are the same size apart from the apartments. these are clean, excellent location,quiet, and the olive groves 2 the back balcony. if u were staying at the hotel apartments nexed door then i understand they are not up 2 standared.

The Rainbow Appartment are basic but comfortable and clean, I would recommend them to anybody. I made my first visit to Zante 2 years ago and I'm going back this year. Facilities in Zante are generally basic but comfortable so do not expect 5 star treatment and you will enjoy your holiday. 2 minutes walk from the Rainbow is daisys bar which is run by Peter & Andrea. Please do take the time to visit them as you will receive a traditional Greek welcombe

Have read reports its not so good, not clean etc. has anyone stayed there recently?

It was my first visit to a Greek island last year and what an excellent and very beautiful island Zante is. The Rainbow apartments were ideal for the holiday, basic but comfortable. I loved the view from the balcony of the olive trees and cockrels! I will definetely be going back to Zante and will stay in the Rainbow. Sam(June 2000)

we have never stayed in such bad accomodation as this one,it had dogs barking and cockerals crowing throughout the night every night we had one change of bedding in a fortnight and the rooms were filthy, although we had the use of the pool next door we were not welcome they even told kids to be quiet whilst using the pool and charged for the lounger if you did not but a drink the cleaner even used one of our parties toilet whilst they were out and never flushed it they even left used toilet tissue in the bin. one of our other party had the same when they first entered their room. Overall I would not recommend this accomodation to anyone. Graham & Sandra June 2001

fantastic appartments especialy at the back overlooking fields,hens,rabbits and the odd cockrel? paul&karen 1998
