just booked for windmill bay 22nd sept 05 - can anyone tell me what Argassi is like for teenagers, my daughter will be 15 when we go. Anyone got more info on these apartments, not alot to go off on the net.
thanx

Argassi is a great place - don't go if you like beaches, because it just hasnt got one to brag about - stayed at the Windmill Bay which had steps straight into the sea from its seafront location. Pubs etc good, but I didnt really find them cheap drink wise - Try and avoid going late Sept onwards (I went 22nd Sept to 6th Oct 05) - it is starting to get rather quiet in the bars, restaurants etc... so the nights became a bit tedious when you are trying to entertain older teenagers ! The people in Argassi are friendly, plenty shops to go at and close to Zante town, Kalamaki and Laganas if you fancy a change. All in all, a smashing resort but probably best June, July and August !

stayed at the Windmill Bay 22nd Sept to 6th Oct 05 - we had apartment 103 which was on the ground floor, the pool was literally 10 footsteps from our terrace and the sea was about 40 footsteps away which was ideal ! the apartment was spacious enough for the four of us and cleaned regularly but we were plagued terribly by lots of house flies which became very annoying, especially at night when you were trying to sleep ! You could go straight into the sea via some steps, bit rocky at first but sandy a bit further on - no beach at all so if you want a beach, dont go here. The pool snack bar was fine for breakfast etc.. and reasonably priced too ! Not much in the way of amenities for teenagers, there is a pool table but it is in a dark and dingy small room behind the snack bar - there was no entertainment at all going on, so when it rained, you were pretty much stuck in your room! Thunder storms at night whilst we were there so the sea was rather noisy, being so close. The walk into Argassi isn't too bad, about 10mins to nearest bar The Red Lion - but watch the road, not much pathway to go on !! All in all, I would recommend the Windmill Bay as they are well above the normal Greek standards and in a lovely location with views of mainland Greece and Zante town -

Windmill Bay Apartments

The sea directly infront of  the Windmill Bay Apartments in Argassi - no beach just straight into the sea ! Great if you hate sand !

Castaways was our favourite place to eat - plenty on the plates and at an excellent price too - the Zankinthos Roast Lamb was lush !! A definate must for food lovers !!!

This was the friendliest bar we went into in Argassi (22nd sept 05 to 6 oct 05) sorry to hear it's closed. Had a few lush pints of guiness & blackcurrent in there and my daughters loved the red wickeds! Really canny folk, wishing you all the best !!!
