My wife and I stayed in Mimis Studios in the last week of June 2005. We were very pleasantly surprised by the high standard of the accommodation-both the apartment and pool area are both kept extremely clean and are very comfortable. We didn't stay too often in the complex itself, but when we did Spiros was very helpful in his very laid back manner.

The area itself is as far away from the 18-30 style resort as you could imagine. If you are looking for discos and bars then look for Laganas/Kalimaki/Argassi. If, however, you are looking for some real R & R, Mimis is ideal. It is located in the South-West peninsular and close to the best beaches in Zante. There are a few Tabernas in walking distance and a supermarket next to the complex. If you want to hire a scooter or car this can be done through the rep (and there is a local hire company that does it cheaper...). I have attached a few pictures of Ionian and Gerakas beaches, the former a 5 minute drive away, the latter a 20 minute walk or 2 minute drive. Also included are photos of the shipwreck we took from a boat trip.
 
For us (we're a young married couple) this holiday was perfect. We even swam with turtles in Keri Bay !!(drive there and take the boat ride from Keri Lake rather than the boat tours from Argassi or Porto Roma). Fantastic and Mimis Studios really made it for us.

Dafni sounded great from comments and did have fantastic views. Was slightly dirty to be honest with rubbish built up in one part of the beach. Pretty good snorkelling by Zante standards. Drive there is pretty ropey-road has not had any upkeep for sometime.anyway enjoy the snaps

The best beach in Zante-great snorkelling around the rocks. The music may have changed since the 2004 as it was mainly salsa/latin theme-very relaxing actually. Only down side is that you must pay around 7 or 8 Euros for a sunbed. And take a packed lunch-they rip you off even more in the bar. Still fantastic beach!!!
