Claire - go see Julie at the Nail Bar, next door to Basil's Bar. Although they are not a laundrette, they will do your washing for you, but can't dry it.
Used them all last season and I never had any problems.
Hope it helps!

EMMA - approx cost in taxi to Laganas is 15 euros. Watch out after midnight as prices will go up (is it stil the same in UK?) but all taxis have meters. There's only one taxi company for the whole island. Not sure on price to Argassi but reckon Laganas would be your best bet for night out.

EMMA - forgot to mention that Laganas is about 20 minutes drive away !!

Craig - to hire a scooter you'll need your drivers/bike license which most places will keep until you return the bike.
For days out etc, it really depends on what you fancy.....Cruises, coach tours, Safari.
If your not staying too far away, how about coming to see me at Theo Travel/Rentals in Planos, on the road towards Caravel. We do car/bike hire plus trips so maybe I can be of some help?! Or just call in & say hi! No hassle or pressure selling like most!!

Ryan - for a boat trip around the whole island your looking at 20 euros per person. Be careful as some places will only do half the island at about 18 euros.
House of Asia is still open so panic not!
Have a great holiday - if you need any further help and your not staying too far away, pop into Theo Travel near Caravel Hotel!!
Even if its just to say Hi!

Claire - October is fairly warm but you will need to wrap up in the evening as it will get chilly. Its pretty much the same as the start of the season, May.

Hope that helps and that you end up visiting Zante!

Ryan - Hah does that mean I get to see you in your shorts every time you walk past!!!
Most people seem to be wearing jeans or trousers in the evening with t-shirts/shirts. Think it depends on how tough you are against a "breeze", now I've probably jinxed the weather & it will either be hurricanes or boiling hot!
Good luck packing and see you soon :)

Ryan - Cant you support a football team abit better than the Saints?!! Guess someone has to though!
Weather is good - hot today but got abit chilly in the evening about 8pm onwards.
Will look out for you and I'm hoping your girlfriend has better dress sense than you!
See you both soon, good luck at Zante airport...

John - good news or bad news first?! Only joking!
Definately don't go to the "water park" in Laganas. Its 3 or maybe 4 slides attached to a hotel swimming pool. Enough said!
The other water park is a Water Park! Its supposed to rival the one in Crete but havent been to it so cant comment. Went to "ours" when it first opened last year and it was fab. Great for all ages but don;t think I'd want to spend the whole day there. Most of the tour operators and shops will do day trips so it depends on your preference. If you go it alone your looking to pay about 20 euros per adult, half for kids (possibly free for littluns). I think its half price for all after 12 or 2pm.
What else to do depends again on what you like. This is where I'm gonna be cheeky and say come and see me at work (Theo Travel) so I can go into more detail!!
