Big Plate - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Carleh B  (29 July 2005)         

I went to Big plate on our first night in Argassi and loved it, my friends were not that keen on it so we didnt go back, but the Spagetti Bolognese was the best. But the best thing by far was ANGELO, he is the man that stands at the front with the ponytail, he was so sweet and friendly to us, even though we only went in there once he would always stop and chat to us.

Ohh, also have the Baclavas, it is the best dessert in the world!!!
 
 
Also if you go to a bar called the Factory Angelo will be in there, we had a drink with him there and he is lovely. Miss you Angelo!!Wink
 
I miss Argassi so much, i wanna go back!Clap

The Factory - (Bars in Argassi)

Carleh B  (29 July 2005)         

the factory is brilliant, if you are single and looking to have a good time, then definately go to the factory, my friends who are couples didnt like it so much, but me and my single friend loved it, the barmen are always up for a laugh and everytime you get a drink, you get a shot free!, its great!!

also kenny and sean who stand outside are brilliant, and will come and have a dance with you, in particular sean is lovely!!!wink
another bonus is the english dj's who are really funny and will make you laugh.laugh
i only went to the factory once becasue i lost my voice for the frist 3 days of my holiday, but if i wasnt ill i would have been in there every night!!
 
loved it so much, i wanna go back to see all the staff in the factory!
love you all xx
 
p.s look out for the little greek men, if you know what i mean!!!

Castaways - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Carleh B  (29 July 2005)         

this is the best restaurant ever!!!, there was lots of choice and all the meals were lovely, even my extra fussy friend found something to eat there- beans on toast!!.

we ate here 5 out of 7 nights and didnt get bored at all, the best meal i had was the chicken ceasar wrap, yum!!, and the best dessert was the chocolate and orange ice cream- lovely!!!
the atmosphere there is great and the views are stunning, but what makes it even better are the people that worked there, simon was always really helpful, stuart was georgeous, and illios well he was just lovely, he was always so happy and he was amazing with the flaming fajitas!!, loving your work illios and miss you loads!!, hands off girls, he's mine!!!wink
 
it was just an amazing place to eat, calm and relaxed but we had the best time.clap
 
miss you all loads,especially illios!, hee, hee!,  i wanna come back!! xx cry

Captains Hotel - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Carleh B           

I stayed here with 5 friends and thought it was really good, it was a little cramped at times but your not really in your room that much, so it doesnt really matter.

we did have to complain about our shower on the first day becasue it wouldnt work properly, but it was sorted out that day and it was fine, tina that works on reception is English and really helpful, when we had to vacate our room at midday on the thursday, and our pick up wasnt until 4.30 the next morning she went out of her way to find us a curtosy room, even though the hotel was completly booked up, and she did, it only worked out at 3.50 Euros each, which was good!
 
the food in the snack bar was really reasonble and tasted good, the service was really fast aswell.
Use the Commodore pool, instead of the Captains, its alot more spacious and clean.Smile
 
Even though everyone on review sites complained about the walk up the hill, it wasnt that bad i thought, if you cut through the Commodore it makes it alot quicker and easier!!
loved it at the Captains, and i would definately consider going back.Clap

We didnt even eat here, but everyone we spoke to who did, said they hated it!!

Peter is a weird little man and will attack you everytime you walk past, my friend made the mistake of telling him we would go there sometime on our first night in Argassi so every night he would ask us why we hadnt been there yet!!
Dont go there or even make eye contact with him!!, hee, hee!!

Blue Caves and Shipwreck Cruise - (Zante Excursions)

Carleh B           

We went on this trip with Thomas Cook, however we had been on a boat trip to see the turtles with Thomas Cook and it was too similar, we didnt even see any turtles, because our boat had really load music, it probably scared them away!.

we couldnt get off of the boat to see the shipwreck because the sea was too rough, but the caves were really pretty and we saw some amazing views touring around the island.
the reps on our boat were lovely especially the tall lanky one- Matt?, he was really chatty and sweet,Wink
 but the other one- Mark, i think?, was really irritating and very similar to David Brent!!.Angry
 
this was a good trip but if you want to see the shipwreck and the turtles do one trip with Thomas Cook and the other with one of the trips in town , as both the Thomas Cook ones are too similar.
 
it was a nice relaxing day out thoughtSmile

Doctors Surgery - (Doctors/Chemists in Zante)

Carleh B           

I had to visit the chemist becasue i lost my voice for the first 3 days of my holiday, the lady there was very helpful and knew exactly what to give me. After taking some throat spray and some herbal throat sweets, my voice was back in no time!.

Very helpful and understanding of your illness.Smile
