I'm looking for information on the Lefsos Aparthotel. No one has mentioned it. Any comments?
We were booked into the Alikanas Beach Studios for the first week in May (04/05/03) but it was still being extended and we were put into the Alikanas Beach Village instead. We thought the place was fabulous. It was extremely clean, the staff very helpful and we had a very enjoyable stay. Anyone going, please say hello to Tasos and Nicole behind the bar, they were great fun - remind them that Suzanne, Gordon, Ian and Jeanette were the ones that got wrong for laughing too lound by the night receptionist! The area of the apartments is very quiet and only about 5 minutes walking distance to Alikanas centre (if you can really call one street a centre!). We would highly recommend the Apollo II restaurant - the food there is fab, along with the staff and service. I can honestly say we had a really good time. If you are looking for a quiet holiday, then this is just the place, no clubs at all and not really for the teenagers. More aimed at couples and families.
One place I would NOT recommend is the Taj Mahal/Blue Dragon in Alikes. The food was nice but the cleanliness left rather a lot to be desired. Every other bar/taverna/restaurant that we went to during the course of the week was absolutely spotlessly clean and the service fantastic. Learn a few words of Greek and the locals will love you. Yammas (cheers) is always a good one.
We booked through Kosmar to go to the Alykanas Beach Studios but were told on landing in Zante that there was building work still going on and were moved to Alykanas Beach Village. We were very impressed when we got there. The apartment had kettle, toaster, microwave, shower curtain AND shower hook. They also provided bath/hand towels and soap. We were told that hardly anything would be provided. The cleaners were in every day and we would say that the rooms were of very high standed (four beds when only 2 of us!). Keep a look out for Tasos behind the bar - great bloke and full of fun. Very enjoyable stay. Wish we'd booked for 2 weeks instead of 1.
My partner and I went to Alikanas in May and had booked into the Alikanas Beach Studio apartments but when we arrived the extension was not quite finished so we were moved next door into Alikanas Beach Studio Village. We had a fantastic time, beautiful unspoiled area, very friendly people, extremely clean area and most of all relaxing. Certainly not suitable if you wanted clubbing because there wasn't even one! We relaxed totally and made friends with the locals. Very nice holiday - so good we are booking up for next year.
