Maryland Reptile House - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Kate W  (20 June 2007)        10/10

We visited Marys reptile house  last week with hubby(likes snakes but wont touch one) daughter and her boyfriend. Well we had a fantastic time...Mary is a lovely lady who is passionate about her reptiles. My hubby actually got to handle quite a few snakes but I think a lot of persuasion is needed before he lets me have one!!! This place is well worth a visit  and there is a park outside for kids. Taffy a snake fanatic was helping Mary and also her daughter who im sure will grow up to be a "mini me". Keep up the good work...we loved our visit. Highly recommended

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Kate W          1/10

I had read all the reports about the airport so took plenty of water with us to drink while standing outside. There was a quite a long queue but we were under the canopies so it was not too bad. We were taken over in groups of about 15 at a time to check in and even though the air con wasnt working it was pretty cool. The snack bar prices ARE ridiculous so take your own food.The staff are miserable too. Duty free is ok  but prices for ciggies are the same in most of the resorts. Not much choice either.

Amaryllis Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Kate W          10/10

Just arrived home after staying at the Amaryllis for a week (June 12th -19th).Had a brilliant time. The hotel is beautiful set amongst lovely gardens and everyting is kept in tip top condition. Beds and towels changed every other day and even though we made the beds they were re made to perfection! Pool is beautiful and so warm. Plenty of sun beds around the pool also and a good kids pool too.Nothing is too much trouble for anyone here. You can hire a hairdryer for 10 e deposit,safe deposit boxes in reception, also games and a tv with comfy seating area, mini market on site which is cheaper than some of the others and a good bar with Panos working full speed. Showed us pics of his family...lovely man.

Our kettle didnt work one morning, we reported it and by the time we came back in the afternoon it had been replaced.Would definately come back here.
Highly recommended. You will have a lovely time here. The only gripe is the Bizarro grand hotel next door which can be a bit noisy at times but that is no fault of this wonderful hotel. ENJOY
