Hi Kate i can get you caroles e-mail if you still havent got it

We went in May and had a great few nights there.Made some great friends who helped us to get very drunk.Played magic music,what ever you wanted.Every time i here the Killers i think of my nights in Absolutely.Ok people say it wasnt very busy,well they must be sad if they cant enjoy themselves unless they are in a packed pub'.Try it and make up your own mind.

Hi girls its the scottish nutters who will be back for some methos and the odd vodka and iron bru on 25th sept.Get the killers ready and my sing along madonna songs!We enjoy our drunken nights there  so dont care if people are trying to put us off.  .Bring your own hunks and make your own entertainment if you know how to .Well the drinks you shouldnt rememberyour comment here

Esther we are also going on the 25th and we were there in may so wouldnt go back if it was bad.The Garden Village is lovely and the only noise we had there were the birds and the odd noise from scooters so dont worry.Laganas is the place getting bad press.Kalamaki is what you make it.Im 36 and dont do the club thing anymore so like my visits to Kalamaki where we eat out at the nice tavernas and do a few bars.We couldnt get into the Garden Village as it was busy so staying at the Louros Beach but will be up to visit Carole and Andonis the barman.We love it there and im sure you will.Try Zeppos and Parthanol as they are great tavernas.If you like Feta then try the garden Villages Feta Bake.Maybe see you have a great time

The hotel was nice and we were on the third floor in a nice big family room.I found it too noisey with the planes tho after a night out.The gardens and pool bar were good but i thought the maid service was bad.Dont know if its coz we were last to get cleaned but the bath and toilet and floors were only washed a few times.I just did them myself but should have complained.Ive been to Kalamaki 3 times in the last two years but wouldnt stay there again.Try for yourself tho coz everyone to their own.

We had many a few trips to here as it was so nice night or day.Labros is so friendly and everything he does is an art.His salty crepes were magic and the free shots were a blast.Will be back to see him in May.Great place for all ages.

We ate here a few times and the food was lovely and the service was great.The best dish of the day was the dark haired waiter!

This was a great place to eat lovely greek food.We ate there a few times and the girl who was on the door was nice and not a pain like some others

On our third visit to Kalamaki we returned  to Zeppos and as usual it was great.It was the cheapest place we visited and is still our favourite.The food is just that bit different from other places.

Hi Marie we always go in May and have had great tans when we leave.Sometimes a few clouds but still great.Take a hoody or light jacket for night as can get a bit cold if you dont have enough drink in you. 

Been 3 times and moan every time but i go backZante is worth the wait at the airport.Its great listening to every1 moaning and thinking that if they do it will get them on quickerGod its only 5 mins to kalamaki not like most places that take you hours to get to your hotel.Its all part of the fun coz if they had a bigger airport it wouldnt be a lovely LITTLE island.Dont be put off go enjoy your holiday and then have a moan at the airport.It should be the only reason to moan about Zante

Another great week with labros and Angelos.They are a scream and you will have a great time.You get quality drinks not cheap ones like other places that you need twice as much.His crepes,Pies and everything else he does has that bit extra.He has live singing a few nights a week and it suits all ages we are in our 30s and were drinking with couples older who thought it was great there 2.Go and enjoy yourself you feel like your in greece there and not blackpool like other places

Just came back never felt any tremors and it was HOT.32-39 very hot for May and not 1 bad day

We had a lovely meal here,nice and different choices.

Great for lunch.Lovely fresh salads and sannys.Not the type of food for our evening meal but great.The lady is a scream 

Had 2 lovely meals there and we love it there.We went on our last visit to kalamaki and glad to say it was still great

Great food huge portions.We went twice as the service was great

We went to visit carol and everyone a few times when we were there as she is great.We couldnt stay there as coming from london and scotland the flights with first choice were on different days.The place is still great,pool snack bar is super and carol even helped us out to get a wheel chair for my friend.Nothing is ever too much for Carol she is a lovely person and will make your stay so special you will want to return

Came back from Zante on the 24th May with xl airways and still havent got my caseHave had to buy new stuff as all my stuff is in the case,phone charger etc.Stranded at glasgow airport for the night in what we stood in.Take note anything you might need put it in your hand luggageWe werent the only ones there was heaps of cases that were left in zantesaid the plane was too heavy well mine were under 20 each

Hi Hazel.We have also become good friends of Labros after my friends who know him quite well told us to go  to see him last Sept.May was great fun and we are all going back in Sept too from 17th for 1 week so if your there at the same time might see you at P&P.I was telling Labros about this site and about your nice comments and he was pleased people were saying nice things.Not sure if he sees this or not coz he said he didnt have the internet as we all told him we could email him.Its a shame that a new pavement is on the other side of the road as he hasnt been so busy as people now walk on the other side so if anyone is reading thisGO TO PASTRIES AND PERCS AS ITS GREAT.NICE FRIENDLY PLACE WITH GREAT SERVICEREAD MY OTHER REVIEWS.

Do Tolis and john live there or do they just visit as was wondering if they would be there in sept.We are staying at the Cronulla from the 18th.

Will try.Even if i can order a bit and say hello to Labros and Angelos and that it is nice to see them again.Ru working somewhere new now.I would love in afew years to go and work inKalamaki  but i have a little boy who is nearly 13 and have my own hairdressers so it wont be till he joins the army or i go brokeI worked in bars a few years ago and loved it coz im a chatterbox and enjoy the laughs.

I try to go at least twice a year as i love it.I now book it myself and save so much.I can now get a week for us both for no more than £500 in total so its great.Have tried a few places but the garden Village is my favourite.I now go with mates from london and we cant fly out on the same day with First choice so have to stay other places now.Staying at Cronulla which looks great.

Thanks John will have to see if any1 else is doing it.I will be sitting in the bar more than likely saying next time im going to do that

Kiri its not far to walk to the beach.There are a few little roads from the main strip where you are that take you down to the beach.We are going back in Sept and the weather is usualy good as been before.Can be a bit mixed but still nice.Ur in a great location not far to crawl home.

Ian its easy.We are going in Sept and i use travel republic ,which i have used quite a few times now.I got my friends a good deal through first choice as i am going from glasgow.Travel republic give you a good choice of  ranging from xl airways,thomas cook,first choice.I look on there and then check what the travel agents offer.If you book with the Cronulla pay your deposit through going places as the bank charged me£30 to pay £80 to greece.We just get a taxi from the airport for about 12euros.

There are two on the main bit where all the shops and bars are.Have been 4 times to Kalamaki and only in early May have been empty sometimes.We went to Laganas which is 20mins walk so dont worry.We are going next weekend so fingers crossed.

Great bar and everyone is so friendly.Thanks to the irish lass for helping direct us to our rooms a few times after returning to them very late.Great during the day as well as night and was always busy

Another great week with the guys.Im fatter than ever with all the crepes and drink.We met some friends we made last time and it was lovely to see them.Hi Anna and Lawrence,i mean David.Great to see you again get saving for your hatsIts such a lovely place to chill during the day and night.See you soon

What a great place.Its lovely and everything looks so nice.We wre like kids exploring all over it.The ride up was great fun with Fred and Barney on the back

Hi Anna and David hope you had a great holiday,Syd has lost your email as i was going to email you.If you still have hers could you email her yours.It was lovely to see you both again.

Great to here from you.We were just talking about May last night.Think we will be going around the 20th and yes ive been lookin for deals.Going to London to see the gang for New Year and will sort it out.Im savin my Tesco vouchers for my flight

HI Anna dont know whats happening on this website but my comments keep vanishing?

Just come back and had yet another great week.As usual all the people there look after you.It was the busy there every night.Great food for snacks.

What a lovely bar.Roz and Dennis are great.Magic cocktails in lovely decor.The food Roz makes is great nice tapas etc.Lovely place to chill or listen to music.Good luck for the future

We ate here twice as have visited it lots of times in the past.There was 8 of us and had great tbones,fillets and mexican.We were given a huge pudding free and offered a free drink the next night.Will go back on our next visit

Food and service great as usual

There was 8 of us 4 had pizzas and 4 had steaks.Pizzas great steaks terrible1 was so bad he couldnt eat it.Would never go back unless we wanted pizza.We could have soled our flipflops with the steaks

Great meals and very cheap.Friendly staff

Yet again the best on the island.Huge plates and friendly service.If you are a regular and are looking for roz who has been on the door for a few years her and dennis from there have opened a bar called Therapia.Go and visit them as its lovely,its up past sophias.

Magic bar jimmy,susanne,tom and family look after you.Great music and prices and was the busiest bar in Kalamaki

Ate here most days and everything from breakfast,baked tatties salads and gyros were lovely.Dias is so friendly and serves you with a smile everytime.Great prices,

If you walk along to the end of the road past down under,sophias etc its across from sugar reef.It use to be Absolute.Its so nice there.

Can you tell me if you can book this direct or which company to book through.Thanks

Great hotel with lovely views.Everything was great,snack bar was good too.Will return next year.

We had lovely meals and they were very friendly

Went here twice lovely food and nice staff

We went to argassi this time but got a cab to see Labros coz he is a wee star.The bar looks better after a few changes and even Labros has a new image but i miss the ponytail.Fab place he looks after you so well and the cocktails are strong

Hi Ashleigh we have just come back too!Just wondering if you noticed if all the rooms had balconies as one of the sites for next year has a price for studio or studio with balconcy?I thought they all did but wondered if ther were rooms inside i never noticed.We were in b on the top floor

Been many times and it is more horrible every time.The snack bar charged me 9e for a can of  fanta and box of pringles!The toilets are worse then a prison in china.If they are not going to hurry up and sort out the new place then they should at least make the toilets fit for humans.With regards to the picture of rubbish next to a bin!I sat and watched pigs leave rubbish on the floor, on tables etc.There were a few bins which i put MY rubbish in that were empty!I saw some poor lady pick up after us tourists who moan about the STATE of the departure lounge.If we act like pigs then they must think we dont care about the state of the place.For the people who use the binsthis doesnt apply to you and the ones who dont.Use the bloody bins

Does anyone know why xl are not flying to zante next year from glasgow as always go with them and been told no flights nxt year no reason why?I agree scales are rigged as my boyfriend had holdall which was 11 on way out and 15 on way back but didnt buy a thing.mine was 20 on way out and 25 on way back and i nvr bought a thing?Saw 1 family pay 150eit is terrible the holiday companies have to check this so every1 should write and complain.

Will be there in a few weeks to see Labros as he always makes you welcome.have heard he has made the bar even better so looking forward to it.Hope he still makes the yummy crepes.Great place for all ages to meet new and old friends.Its so hard to get an early night when you go tho.

Hi Steven not sure if you can book direct as reception was very basic when we went in sept.I am going on Sunday and have booked through Low Cost Beds.Have also used Med Hotels which are sometimes cheaper.I book flights seperate but when i phoned Low Cost Beds they gave me everything for the same price.They dont even change trav chqs at the hotel.I liked it here if you havnt been,great location and thought rooms were good.Hope this helps

Just got back after yet another lovely visit.Anthi is great and the new sexy waiter Nicos[just incase you are checking up on me]is so friendly.Lovely place met some new friends and some noisey ones .Everything about it was great.

Had a few nights here because Matty the barman was great.Wicked cocktails which we didnt thank him for the next day.Had great time with Jenny and Kate my new poledancing friends

The new changes to the bar are great.labros and Angelos are as great as ever.

As usual it was busy as they do a great job.See you in Sept.

Lovely food,1 of the best meals we had the whole holiday

hi Isobel,we stayed in Argassi and got taxis in2 Kalamaki for 10-12e,not sure about Alykes,but its about 22 from the airport so maybe 30e.The taxis are cheap just make on u hav been b4 and they dont rip you off.Buses im not sure if u have to go 2 zante town and then Alykes,will ask my friend in Kalamaki.

God its much btr,dont think i have gone to the bangkok hilton prison loos anymoreNot lots of seats tho and god there is enuf space for heaps.

Hi its such a small place it tends to book up quickly.Its only through first choice i think but the website which has Carols email is www.gardenvillage.co.uk

After going to Zante for 5 years on the glasgow Sunday morning flight First Choice have now taken it OFF.Since joining Thomson they think it would be nicer to send us on a night flight getting in at 5!and returning the following monday in the early hours AGAIN.Thanks for thinking of all your passengers from Glasgow who have been loyal to you

Labros isnt that great yet with emails etc i only get the odd reply.Dont think he has a web page yet,you can help him set 1 up to show off the new bar in Sept.We are there the 14th so will try to leave you some drink.

if you click on the website below it does work and takes you straight to garden village page with all their details

Your ok im a vodka girl.The bar is in the same place but has changed heaps and looks well smart now.Angelos does the day shift and Labros does the night.We will be there,ive got longish blonde hair  that is brown underneath and my fella has a bald head so come say hi .

Your more advanced than me so cant put 1 of us and would scare people off anyway.5 weeks and counting.We are at the Cronulla so havnt got far to stagger home.Cu then

Mike we are excited too.Exotica is near the Venus.If you walk to the Cronulla ,cross over the road and walk down towards beach etc then you are at the bottom of that road.There are a few other roads that take you from there to Labros but on a pissed trek home the easiest is best

Come out of Labros and turn left and walk along past the parthenon ,rose and crown etc and its next to drunk corner.If you can find your way from Crystal beach then ur ok.We stayed at Louros beach near there,heard a few planes but got drunker and never heard them again.Cant wait as just found out our n.year holiday has gone belly up.They are such nice peopleat travel republic wanted to break their necksas no help and sort it urself.

Hello Leanne.You will love it i cant sleep as so excited.I love going to the pubs there and you will love Labros as he is a star.Havnt got facebook sorry.Trying to get secret extra luggage as he wont take any of my shoes etc and takes hardly anythin.Its ace in Kalamaki everywhere is so friendly and the food is magic.You should go on the message boards as i have talked to a few people who are going at the same time.You have to have one of Labros's cheese tomato and onion crepes with sweet chilli sauce and no doubt there will be mingin shots which HE says are NICEHe lafs at me when i say they are yuck and only drink the nice ones.He always gives me tequilla dropped in lager and wonders why im dyin.Pastries and perks is a fun place,maybe not  busy all the time but great and so is the Cronulla,maybe coz i dont have far to go to bed

my comments take days to appear?sorry Leanne have replied LAST WED

IM JUST CHECKING YOUR LAST POST NOW AS THIS AINT WORKIN.ANNA AND DAVE WILL BE THERE TOO WHEN WE GO.THEY ARE A COUPLE WE MET A FEW YEARS AGO AT LABROS'S.THEY ARE GREAT FUN.IVE SORTED ALL MY STUFF AND WOW THOT I HAD CUT DOWN.WOT TIME YOU LANDING ON MONDAY

Another great holiday with everyone at the Cronulla.Everything was great from rooms to the laughter at the bar.See you next year.

What a lovely place had great food wish we had tried it years ago. 

The food was lovely but had to wait so long between each course that couldnt  face my main course.It was very busy and know you have all the time when on holiday but took soooooo long.Everyone else was the same and too busy to ask for more drinks.would go back but earlier in the evening.

Had many a great night here with new and old friends.Lovely bar but warning might lead to dizzyness and loss of balance after 12

you will be up there too if you go back next year,

roll on june.get saving and you can show me how its done

My boyfriend did his padi 3 day course here and enjoyed it.The guys were great and he enjoyed it so much went out for another day with them.Very helpful and friendly so going back in June to do another padi course.

After reading all the great comments we will go to Oceanic when we come over in June.Been so many times to Kalamaki but have a habit of staying in the same bars.

I have 6 weeks to get through hope it flys by.Cu in 6 weeks.

Just read your blog and what a lovely piece you wrote about Daniel.His poor mum and dad,i was only reading the bit they wrote the other day.

Roll on the 4thJune.Looking forward to going to Dennys as heard so many great things about the place.

Cant wait to see everyone,shame we arent staying here too but couldnt get a 10day flight then after booking they put 1 on!Love this bar,great music and prices.See you in 2 weeks.

If you go onto the Kalamaki messages and you can look under the bit Maps you will see where you are.Great location to Beach pubs etc.Im going in 2 weeks and its supposed to be great.

Will be there on the 4thJune and cant wait to see them all again.

Loved our nights here and met some great people.Thanks Kev for fab drinks and the vodka sweets.Lovely to meet Helen,had some great conversations.Met Joanne and Steve,Srarfish and family and loads more.We will see you on our next visit.

Oh what a great time we had here.I am now addicted to Pina Coladas served in a yummy hollowed out frozen pineapple.Yanni and Tabitha are so lovely i wish them well.It was nice to see the bar get busy by the time we left mid June.They had a singer called Lucky one night who was great and played a range of music.We had a few drunken nights with friends and will hope to return in Oct so PLEASE be open.Yanni is so nice and if hes not turning up a new cocktail its the musicTry it as its a nice bar with lovely big palm trees to get you in the holiday mood.

Oh my god now wish i hadnt looked on here!Im going to the Cavo the end of Aug and after seeing this very worried.Spoke to someone else who has just come back and they loved it and had a fab time in one of the 1 bedroom apmnts.
