The Admiral appartments are clean and have REAL beds for the children rather than those horrible sofabeds that you get everywhere else, you don't have to hire a kettle lead and there always seemed to be hot water. On the minus side the apartment was very small and the maid obviously got thrown out of the Blackpool Landlady's Society for being too surly - she was completely the opposite of the rest of the Greeks we met who were unfailingly friendly.
What made our holiday special was the entertainment - Paul and Sam, the entertainers, worked so hard with such enthusiasm it made every day enjoyable for us and the kids. There is afternoon entertainment which centres around the pool and evening entertainment with the emphasis on participation, although if you just want to watch you are left alone and not badgered. Plenty of opportunities to win free drinks if you do join in though - I won loads! The entertainers are friendly, down to earth and most of all ENTERTAINING! The fortnight flew by as it was just like one long party.
Argassi is beatiful with mountains and plenty of greenery. The island itself is quite small so you can explore easily, although the coach tours are not for the faint hearted.
Overall we had the best holiday we have ever had and are hoping to come back again before the season finishes.
Hi Sammy, nice to hear from you.
Yes it is me, Rob the Bohemian Rhapsody Love shack man!! Really missing Zante now I am back in rainy old England, thanks to you guys and the rest of the people who were there around the middle of June for having such a laugh with us - you and the entertainers were great company.
Lisa has told all my friends about my performance in Mrs Zakynthos, fortunately I don't think they believe her! I have very blurry memories of that night so if anyone can fill in the blanks I would be grateful, as Lisa just bursts out laughing when I ask her about it! Fortunately I have felt no urge to cross dress since ;-)
We really want to come back to the Admiral before the end of the season, but I had better do some serious ebaying if that is going to happen! In the meantime get your air guitars out "SCARAMOUCHE SCARAMOUCHE WILL YOU DO THE FANDANGOOOOO!!!!"
Where are my backing singers when I need them?
