We stayed at Kosanos 2 in October 2001 and 2002 and we liked it.
Tasia & Spuros were great fun. We had no problems with the
apartment at all. Yes, you do get a bit of noise from Camelot bar, but
you get that anywhere you go.
I have just booked direct to stay at Kosanos 2 this October.
Having read the comment from someone who stayed there last month, all I
can say is that either the standards have dropped or you were just too
fussy. Greek accomodation is always very basic.
I think you mentioned a tour operator, who did you go with? I could not find it in any brochure.
I will write another review after our stay in October.
We have just returned from a week Alykanas. The first night we ate at
the Dionysos and the food was apalling. So next night we went into the
Alkyonis and what a difference - the food and service were excellent,
so we ate there every night for the rest of our week. Kevin & Maria
couldn't do enough for us. On my husbands 60th birthday and our wedding
anniversary (the day of the earth quake), they had laid a table
especially for us with flowers on, it was a really nice touch.
My favourite food - one of the starters - the potato skins - also the
minted lamb for the main course was wonderful. We tried the home made
beef & vegetable soup on the last night and that was beautiful. If
I had a flask I would have taken some home.
Kevin & Maria I hope you read this, I really would like to say thank you for making our stay so pleasant. Hope there aren't too many more tremors and that the last few days of opening went well.

I have been absolutely let down by these people. I had booked direct
with the apartments to go to Kosanos 2 for a week beginning 14th
October.(see my other comment on Kosanos).
After requesting that I transfer a deposit of 70 euro into their bank
account and at a charge by my bank of £12.50, I thought I was all
booked to stay there.
However, on the Monday before we were due to go I had an email to say
that they could no longer offer me accomodation as they had already
closed for the season and later I was also told that they had not let
me know earlier as the guys (I booked through) wife was pregnant &
they had to go to Athens. If I had not emeiled on the Friday before we
were due to go, I wonder if they would have told me & maybe I
wouldn't have found out until I got there. I'll give them some credit,
they did arrange for us to stay at the Plessas Palace in Alikanas and
arranged for a taxi to pick us up at the airport. However, I was really
worried as I had read some bad comments about the Plessas Palace on
holidays uncovered. It was not as bad as the comments but I did not
find the staff very friendly and it was very basic. The cleaning left
something to be desired. I would not have chosen to stay there and
would have prefered to pick my own accomodation. Needless to say I
won't book with Kosanos 2 (or Plessas Palace) if we decide to go back
to Zante next year. I was really dissapointed.
Just to say that we did walk into Amoudi on Tthursday and it was all closed down, nowhere open to even get a drink.
