Palazzo di Zante Hotel - (Accommodation in Vassilikos)

For a 4 star rated hotel it was below par. we booked a supposedly SUPERIOR room. The decor was poor and there was little storage space. Just one wardrobe with two small draws. The bathroom flooded everytime we removed the plug from either the sink or the bath. Having said that the public areas were OK and the food was excellent. The waiters being very friendly.

Gerakas Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

As you come down the dirt track to the beach you will asked to stay within 5 meters of the sea as turtles nest further back. The sea is quite shallow so it is safe for kids. If you like snorkling the best areas to go are either ends of the beach were it gets rocky. While I was doing this I actually saw a turtle. I took a few pictures and we swam off in opposite directions. You will also notice that some people are covered from head to toe in a clay - this is because at one end of the beach the cliffs a made of the stuff.
