Hiya Sarah,

One word to describe the service..EXCELLENT!!.. we booked through the internet with Aggellos who quoted the best...insurance was fully explained after delivery of our car to Alikes...the car was in perfect condition.. We will certainly rent a car through Aggellos on our return to Zante. Thank you Aggellos for the smooth and efficient service..

The beach is a 5/10 minute walk from Nikos and the town is about15/20 minutes. Its OK to walk into town but after a few to many to drink you may want to get the horse and carraige back to the apartment...that costs on average 5/7 Euros.

Hi again Dena,

With regards to your question about the pool....it is quite deep even at the shallow end (1.40m).Your best option is to go to the beach beside the Astoria Hotel  (5/10 min walk) where the water is knee high upto about 20 meters out. There is some areas that have gravel on the beach but if you venture slightly further you come across some very soft sand sauitable for sunbathing and for children to play. The water is clear and there are no rocks in the water to worry about hurting your feet. There are some nice resturants very close by to have lunch. Only thing to watch out for is the guys on the beach selling DVDs....don't be tempted to buy any as 95% of the time you will find the DVDs dont work.

Hi Myra

Im back there again this year for 3 weeks this time round....two weeks is never enough...lol

You can go into town to the local supermarket...there is pretty much everything you need there for the baby...its a 15/20 minute walk to get there.

There were no kettles when we were there so its advisable to take a travel kettle with you and use bottled water for tea or coffee. Better safe than sorry. The beach is a 10/15 minute walk and the main area with the local shops and resturants is approximately 20 mins walk. The A/C cost 70 Euros for the 2 weeks that we were there. You get the remote once you have paid.
