My husband and I visit Laganas every 2nd year since this is where we had our honeymoon, and this restaurant is THE BEST IN TOWN by far! My hubby is a chef and is SO fussy - no matter where we go in the world, you are guaranteed he has a bad meal! NOT HERE! He loves the food at the Akropolis, and me too, especially the greek dishes. The staff are lovely, and this is our main restaurant when we stay in Laganas. CAN'T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH TO YOU !!!

BEST RESTAURANT IN THE RESORT !!! Try all the Greek dishes - they are great, and so are the prices. We always have a problem finding a GOOD restaurant to eat in, but this one is fantastic. Staff are friendly, and service is okay (by Greek standards) but the food is magnificent. We visit every second year, and only use this restaurant now.

We always go to Laganas in May (every 2nd year) to celebrate our Anniversary. The Pink panther is by far one of the best bars in the town. Jimmy and his staff go out of their way to make sure you are seated, and the service is excellent. He always remembers us from last time which is nice, although that is normal for Greece. Can't wait to get back this year. It's like going home... We love it.

Congratulations on the birth of your new baby!!!
We'll be there in May 04 again for our anniversary where we are meeting our friends from Birmingham. (Remember my hubby - the chef!)
Can't wait to get there again. It always feels like we're coming home!...
Told you to contact us in Scotland when you were over for the wedding! We meant it.
Good Luck for the summer season, and we'll see you soon.

We always visit Laganas in early May. The weather is usually fantastic (have known a little rain - mostly during the night, but not for long!) and it is very warm. We always get a good tan! As it is the start of the season, everywhere is nice and clean, and you get a good welcome from the locals. Best to take a fleece/jumper as some evenings can be a little chilly (especially sitting in the bars by the sea, which we do often). If you go in May, you usually beat the lager louts who arrive towards the end of May.

We visit Zante every year. The airport is the worst thing about it! Please don't let it put you off - persevere, because you will have a great holiday on a beautiful island eventually, once you get outside the airport. Your luggage will take an hour (maybe even more) but try and chill out because you are in Greek time - not British! It should be the only complaint you will have about your visit to Zante, but it isn't enough to put us off. Take lots of drinks, eats, magazines etc, and be prepared for a long time hanging about. Enjoy your holiday...

We stayed at Plaza 11 (11 of us in 5 Apts)in May 04 for one week. George was great and allocated us all beside each other. The Apts are great size, basic but well equiped, with ceiling fans for when the weather is too hot. All apts face on to the pool area which is nice. Towels are supplied, but are usual thin white, would recommend you still bring your own towels. Loo rolls also supplied. Actually feel like you are staying in an hotel, due to the reception/bar area. These apts are ideal location close to the beach, and close to the main strip - especially close to MacDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC etc for kids. Not surprising that so many people return to this accomodation year after year. George and his family couldn't do enough for you. Anything from an extra pillow, to a leaky tap - they are quick to sort it for you - unusual in Greece. Try their Greek Night (8 Euros kids free). Well worth the money. If you are not happy at these apts, then you'd be as well staying at home!!!

We are a family group travelling to this hotel soon. Can anyone tell us exactly where in Laganas this hotel is? Do you keep going straight up the main strip?, or turn right along the Kalamaki Road? What sort of breakfast do you get? Are there kettles in the rooms? Do all rooms have a pool view? Thanks!

I think the Plaza is ideal for kids - although we normally go in May. There is a swimming pool, and the location is just a few metres from the beach and the main street. MacDonalds & Pizza Hut are very close by, and George & his family will go out of their way to welcome you. All apts face the pool, it might be an idea to ask for a ground floor room, if poss, as the floors are marble. The bar area has a hotel feel about it, and has a massive TV with Satellite. We travel as a family group (from young to old) and the Plaza is suitable for us all, especially the location. You will have a great time.
We are going back to Laganas in Oct, but couldn't get booked for the Plaza, so have to stay elsewhere unfortunately. Ideally they are brilliant.

The Tele No for George at Plaza is 00 30 26950 52419, but he doesn't rent his rooms out privately - they are exclusive to Manos. You can rent the apts overlooking the pool area (beside the steps leading to the main road) which are nice inside & have catering facilities, and will only cost 20-30 E per day per apt. Just phone 00 30 26950 52511/92032/52712. You can also rent the rooms at the other side of the pool (just across the small road) for 10-20 E per room per night (room only) and George might have the details for them.

This hotel is miles away from everything. We wouldn't go back again. The breakfast is not worth getting up for. (although they do sell quite a nice English Breakfast for 3 Euros beside the pool). There is rarely anyone on reception so it's not always easy to get taxis, and when you ask at the pool bar, they refuse. We had my elderly parents with us, and spent 20 mins trying to flag down a taxi! We only spent 3 days here, then moved to another accomodation closer to the resort and beach, for the rest of our week. Hotel is VERY basic, and bathroom floor floods continually. Only go to this hotel, if you can't get booked anywhere else. (and we have been travelling to Greece for over 20 years - the past 5 years we have had at least one holiday a year at Laganas - and this hotel is extremely basic). We had a 12 year old, and a 13 year old with us, and both of them cut themselves on glass in the swimming pool, which wasn't very clean either. They advertised films on the big board by the pool. We returned early one evening (by taxi!) for the girls to see a film, only to be told that it had been shown the night before - the board just hadn't been changed. It was like that for 3 days!
If you don't mind walking for miles, or can afford taxis all the time (we were a family of 9 - 3 taxis, costing about 75 Euros a day!) then by all means stay here, otherwise we would advis staying closer to the resort.

These are definetely the best apartments in Laganas (and we have tried a few!). The rooms are of good size, and all balconies have a pool view. The location is excellent, so close to the main strip, and so close to the beach. You will be treated to some real Greek hospitality by George and his family, and will go home happy after your holiday here.
Try the first restaurant to the right (at the end of the dirt track) where they do wonderful steak dinners. Also try the Odyssey restaurant (across from Cozy Corner, next to Strings Bar) where the food is of brilliant quality, and very reasonable prices. The Pink Panther is a good bar too, where Jimmy will ensure you get seated together.
If you don't have a wonderful holiday staying here, then you should just stay at home, because the people, and the island are lovely. The only drawback is the airport (extension due to finish in 2007!), but don't let that put you off.
We find the best time to go is May/June. October is okay too, but there seem to be a lot of flies about then! (very annoying when eating!)
Book these apartments and have a brilliant holiday!

October is very similar to May, weather wise. We stayed there from Oct 17th-26th 2004. We did hear that it had rained though the week before for 3 days. We also noticed that there were a lot of flies about in October (not so bad in May/June) which was a real nuisance when eating al fresco! The whole time we were there, the weather was excellent - sunny & hot, but very bearable.
