October - (Best Time to Visit)

Kelly B           

Hiya all peeps ..... me & my boyfriend have been doing the Grrek Isands for the last 4 years now & always go end Sept beginning October.... THE WEATHER IS GREAT.  Not to hot, about 80ish, bit cooler in the night BUT MUCH warmer than the UK anyday.....

I first went to Zante about 12 years ago with a girlfriend & we both fell in love.  I have been trying to get back here again for ages.  I can't wait & i,m sure everyone will have a fantastic time..
 
HAPPY HOLS 2 U ALL..

The Factory - (Bars in Argassi)

Kelly B  (18 October 2005)         

What started out as a pre diner drink, turned in a total drunken cocktail hour or two ..... it was great.  Let's put it another way ... my boyfriend didn't remember getting a takeaway and going back to the hotel until he found the chips the next morning......

 
Great place to have a drink.

Horse Riding - (Zante Excursions)

Kelly B           

FANTASTIC ... An absolute must ... totally agree with the last comments.  In fact I think you may have been the girls there Thursday morning when we came over (me & my boyfriend).     Wink

 
The views were brilliant.  Jo Jo the horse I rode was brilliant, well tempered and lovely, my boyfriend got Baby, ah bless, he's not to experienced.  Maria was great she matched the horses perfectly.
 
It was more than a ride, it was a total experience
 
Good luck with the baby, hope all goes well Maria, Clap

The hotel was fantastic, breakfast wasn't all that though - shame.  The staff were so friedly & everything was so clean

Castaways - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Kelly B  (26 October 2005)         

Went to Castaways after reading all the rave reviews .... must admit, I to was a little disappointed.

The vies from upstairs was lovely, the restaurant really clean & the staff were great.  My boyfriend had the flaming fajitas, which looked very impressiver, but the taste did let them down a little, all I can say is very 'herby'.  I went for the special chicken, perhaps some of the herbs could have gone onto this, a tad bland.
 
BUT, the greek meze share to start was fantastic

Ethnic - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Kelly B           

WE LOVED IT ..... after reading reviews was determined to find it and try it out.... nearly gave up 1st go as we had to wait about 10 mins for a table, which semed crazy when every other restaurant around could seat you straight away ...... BUT NOW WE KNOW WHY....... Smile

THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC ....... THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT ........ THE ATMOSPHERE WAS BRILLIANT ..... THE OWNER & STAFF WERE SOOOOOO FRIENDLY< CHATTY< HELPFUL & LOVELY...... THANK-YOU FOR SEVERAL WONDERFUL NIGHTS.Wink
 
We loved it soo much we came back 3 times in 1 week ... between us we tried loads of different food & it was all excellent..... especially the rack of lamb & don't forget the apple pie, with a twist of cinammon ... yummie or what.
 
Thanks for lovely memories.

Also the prices were totally reasonable, in fact I would say very cheap for the quality & quantity.
 

Thomson now TUI - (Tour Operators in Zante)

Kelly B           

Thomson are great ... sorry can't remember the reps name from Argassi Katerina Palace ... all I know is he's 'MR ARGASSI' ....  welcome meeting was great & he was really honest, basically advising not to do the turtle spotting trip as there were only 2 left at the last update.

 
Along the street other "reps" were trying to sell the same trip, guaranteeing, you would see turtles.
 
Also the rep left us alone & was no hassle at all.
 
We use Thomson whenever we book package now & generally via the web last minute & haven't had a bad holiday yet ... twice a year for the last 3 years - thank-you Thomson & Team
