Day trip to Kefalonia - (Zante Excursions)

Phoebe P           

We enjoyed seeing Kefalonia and sights such as the caves and the lakes.Very informative tour guide.We were fortunate to see some dolphins which was a lovely surprise.The afternoon tea stop in Kefalonia was at an incredibly expensive place though.Enjoyable day.

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Zante airport is not the worst i have seen.The best airport is Skiathos because the departure lounge is the taverna opposite...what a good idea!!

Zante Town - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Phoebe P           

We thought Zante Town was disappointing compared to how lovely the rest of the island is.Unfortunately the first time we went there was a Saturday afternoon when virtually everywhere is shut!I think it is better to visit other resorts rather than the town.

Dear Ann, we have booked to go to Alykanas for the second time with Kosmar.We have been to many other islands with them and they have always provided an excellent service.Their website is worth a look, it is www.kosmar.co.uk.We have always just picked up their brochure from Thomas Cook in the past.Hope this helps!

Alykanas Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Alykanas)

We have just returned today after spending a week at the Alykanas Beach Studios booked with Kosmar via Thomas Cook.There is a ground,first and second floor at present with all the signs of another floor eventually going up but no building work at present.Our room was a good size and very clean with daily maid service and clean towels(including bath ones)every day.We had booked a cot in advance but initially there was not one available although this was rectified very quickly.Also our broken kettle was replaced within an hour with a brand new one.We recommend you get the air conditioning...it is unseasonably hot there just now!!If you are taking a baby they do not have high chairs in the pool snack bar although everywhere else seemed to.The staff in reception were very friendly and helpful.Finally, be prepared to be ambushed by people with fliers for taverna's at night as you leave the studio's to go out.It is a big complex but very clean and next to the gorgeous beach.Have a lovely holiday everyone!!p.s Zante airport truly is an experience...take plenty of water and suncream with you when you are homeward bound again!!!!

Dionisos - (Restaurants in Alykanas)

Phoebe P           

Highly recommend this restaurant.The staff were so friendly and the food was very tasty especially the kleftiko and briam.Ideal for taking children to as the little play area keeps them entertained.If you are adults only you can sit at the front of the restaurant away from the play area so you are not disturbed by the ankle biters!!!

Dear Isobel,if you think you will be bringing some money home then take sterling travellers cheques as you get more of your money back when you get home and convert them.Yes you do have to pay a comission on euro travellers cheques but it is not a huge amount and places do vary slightly.Have a lovely holiday!
