WE STAYED AT THE KOUKOUNARIA APARTMENTS BETWEEN 240703 AND 070803 AND HAD A FABULOUS HOLIDAY.
THE APARTMENTS: PLENTY OF ROOM FOR A FAMILY OF 4 IN THE ONE BEDROOMED STUDIOS.THE BINS ARE EMPTIED DAILY, FRESH TOWELS EVERY 3 DAYS AND CLEAN BEDDING WEEKLY.MINIMUM COOKING FACILITIES BUT SUFFICIENT FOR A HOLIDAY.ONLY ONE MOAN, 1 TOILET ROLL FOR A FAMILY OF 4 FOR 2 WEEKS!
THE SNACKBAR:REASONABLE PRICES, COMPETATIVE WITH ALL THE BARS IN THE LOCATION.A LARGE SELECTION OF CHILLED DRINKS (1.60 EUROS FOR A TIN OF POP), ICES AND BEER SERVED IN ICED GLASSES( 2.50 EUROS FOR A PINT). THE FOOD IS FRESHLY PREPARED AND MY CHILDREN THOROUGHLY ENJOYED EVERYTHING THEY SAMPLED.THERE IS A TV OFFERING UP TO DATE SKY NEWS, AND FOOTBALL UP DATES (WHICH WERE ESSENTIAL TO MY HUSBAND AND SON). THE ONLY FAULT IS THERE IS A MONKEY IN A CAGE IN THE SNACKBAR AREA, AND THIS GIVES OFF A STRONG SMELL, SO MY ADVICE ALWAYS EAT OUTSIDE OR WELL AWAY FROM THE CAGE.
THE POOL:LARGE AND CLEANED DAILY, WATCH OUT FOR THE SHARP CORNERS IN THE JACUZZI.
THE BLUES BAR;LARGE AND COMFORTABLE, OFFERING COMPETATIVELY PRICED DRINKS AND A GOOD MUSIC SELECTION ON A LARGE SCREEN.
THE RECEPTION:HELPFUL, PLEASANT AND INFORMATIVE STAFF, AVAILABLE 24 HOURS. MONEY EXCHANGE AT THE SAME RATE OFFERED WITHIN THE RESORT.UPON ARRIVAL YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE YOUR CASE FROM THE ROADSIDE TO THE RECEPTION FOR YOUR ROOM ALLOCATION, THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE, BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF STAFF AT THE HOTEL WHOM WILL COLLECT YOUR CASE, JUST ASK.
THE STAFF:SPECIAL THANKS TO MIR, LEONARDO 1 AND 2 AND MARIO, WHOM WERE ALWAYS SMILING AND MADE A GREAT FUSS OF MY CHILDREN.DO GO TO THE BBQ NIGHT IT IS GREAT FOOD AND THE GREEK DANCERS MAKE YOU FEEL INVOLVED.
DO TRY THE CAKES, TRIFLES AND CHEESECAKES FROM THE MONTES BAKERY TO THE REAR OF THE APARTMENTS, THEY ARE WONDERFUL MMMMM.
WATCH OUT FOR THE ROAD THERE ARE NO FOOTPATHS AND SOME VEHICLES GO AT SPEED.
SPECTACULAR SCENERY SURROUNDING THE HOTEL.
THE BEACH IS A VERY SHORT WALK FROM THE APARTMENTS AND I CAN RECOMMEND THE WATERSPORTS AS A FUNTIME ACTIVITY, ESPECIALLY THE RINGOS,ALTHOUGH YOU MAY BE SORE IN THE MORNING!
YES YOU DO HAVE TO PAY FOR AIR CONDITIONING, KETTLES, TOASTERS AND SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES, BUT IF YOU HAVE READ THE COMMENTS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE COSTS, I NEVER GOT CHARGED FOR MY HAIRDRYER.
HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!

We were very disappointed with our meal.

A superb restaurant, offering a large selection of freshly prepared food, and even a 'doggy bag' if you cannot manage to eat it all at once.The views over the beach and sea onto kefalonia will bring out the Shirley Valentine in everyone!.

lovely restaurant and food. very popular and busy.

we ate here on our first night, it was ok, but never returned as there were better restaurants

We had a mixture of chinese and indian food, it was a lovely meal, but the most expensive meal we had during the stay, the service was poor, and the bottles of water were not chilled, the tablecloths were dirty, and the toilets were terribly smelly

Now known as The Great Dane, absolutely fantastic, we tried the steak pie, the curry, sausage and mash, sunday Lunch, apple pie and custard, and the banoffi pie is a must.We visited 3 times, it was so good, staff lovely and ensured you enjoyed your visit.

The resort of Alykes offers spectacular mountain scenery on a coast, the beach is superb, and the sea warm and shallow, which is ideal for children.the Alykes watersports are fun, the ringos are the best value for money, but you will be sore the next day.
The resort is low key, with a plenty of restaurants and bars.Most restaurants offer the same menu, and the prices for the drinks, which are expensive,are all approximately the same in all the bars.
There are few pavements and some vehicles drive too fast on the narrow, unlit roads.
There are not many shops, for those whom want to shop to they drop.
This resort is ideal if you are looking for rest and relaxation, in a beautiful climate.
Enjoy your holiday, we did!
