Oh for god sakes.... how come if you want to give your less than GREAT review of Mermaids then you work at another resturant in Kalamaki but if you are shouting from the roof tops about it's OK...hypocrites!! I do not work for another resturant as I am sure the others do not either, nor do we post multiple entries under different names (see comments made by link on some!!)The Chesterfield Lads, Sue, etc Learn to give your review and leave it instead on inciting debates to which you abuse and insult those that don't agree with you. I will not comment further on Mermaids I have given my review but the postings on here from certain people are too many i.e. Chris and Sue, why argue, people just didn't enjoy it and are allowed to say so, its not your job to change their minds, if anyones acting like they work for a certain outlet in Kalamaki it's you two.
Over and out!!!!!!

I saw on the ineternet before I went that it was 64 degrees and cliudy with rain. Got there June 1st, week that followed it didn't drop under 80 degrees, even reached 100 degrees. Its hot sunny and we had one afternoon with cloud, I can only presume that end of June to mid july will be pretty much of the same. Try this link: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/suzanne.halliday/ it has the weather report on Kalamki flashing on it, that should give you an idea.

English food, shouldn't be a problem Mermaids is loved by those that love a harvester and their Steaks ( although hop eu like it well done, whatever u ask for), we didn't have a great meal there but you might? If he likes Pizza and Pasta he'll be fine in any resturant, and try Mustang Saloon for brekki (even have Heniz Ketchup and HP!!!!). Try Lamb Kleftiko in any GREEK restaurant tender lamb with roast potatoes and veg, a greek twist on the old english roast lamb!!!

We were there first week of June I imagine it was still picking up people wise. Still busy though, but the bars could have done with being a bit busier. If you find it too quiet for a really BIG nighhtout a cab to Laganas in 6-7 euros and run until late!! Kalamaki is coupley more than crowds of singles but it's the classier end of the laganas road (once you've been to laganas you'll know what I mean!) Good resturants our faves: Paris, Padesina, wanted to try Mikelos but got distracted every night - I hear its a must try.

June is a great month to go. We are both 25 and loved the beauty of Kalamaki as it is positioned in a such a way that you can ahve a late night but don't scarafice your sleep, quality of food or bars.

Now Sue, we know you like Mermaids but you don't have to make things up. You clearly haven't tried all of the resturant/tavernas in Zante, you spend the majority of your time in Mermaids!! I find it hard to believe that someone who throws insults around like a five year old when she doesn't like what she hears is suddenly the knowledge of all things Cultural and Greek - can you? Many of us look past the aesthetic features of these resturants. Authentism, I found, was in the style of cooking, the ingrediants,food and the atmosphere. I really don't need lessons is authentism from someone who knows nothing about what we have seen and done, or whose world knowledge is showing little more than Zante and Mermaids, I'm sure Josh Taylor doesn't either, like he said it's a big world out there you guys should try it sometime!!!!!
