We passed Buon Amici on the first night as we wanted to look around - worst mistake we ever made. It was recommended very highly on our last night by a taxi driver of all people, so we decided to try it. It has to be the best restaurant we have ever been in, very clean, staff are all very friendly, and nothing is too much for them. As for Stuart the cook (he says is a cook as he cooks the food not chefs it) he has to be one the nicest guys around. The food is excellent, just a pity he can't be cloned and put in the restaurants around England. Definitely the best on the island. See you next year Stuart.

just returned from Venus Hotel, excellent hotel, very clean, staff all polite. Just a note to Gill, Zante is a beautiful island, I would highly recommend that you hire a car and tour the island you can probably do most of the best sights is two days. If you hire a car through Merlis, they are the cheapest and the cars are really clean. Julie who is the manager there is very helpful and she gives you a map of the island along with recommendations of places to see and what they consist of. Works out a lot cheaper and more fun.

We hired a car from Merlis and were not disappointed, just like to say thanks to Julie for all her help and good advice.
