Nikos Studios - (Accommodation in Alykes)

D T           

Just got back from staying at the Nikos Apartments.

The apartments are I think ideally situated from the town about 15/20mins slow stroll. There is alittle supermarket about 5 mins away.
We got the horse and cart back everynite from the town costing 7 euros.
Rooms are very basic,  all the cutlery and crockery where dirty, I stayed in room 1 and everytime I washed pots the smell of the water was awful it smelt like bad eggs.Ouch
The pool is very deep in the shallow end (1.4m). It is a good size thou.
It is very quiet area not much traffic the kids played football in a carpark area.ClapClap
 

Alykes Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Beach is lovely, nice sand, in the sea, it is a little gravely, be careful of the wind we got a little burnt as it was windy. sunbeds a little pricey I thought at 7 euros, but when on holiday. Lots of taverners and bars to eat and drink at on the beach.

 

Palm Tree Bar - (Bars in Alykes)

Palm Tree II on the beach, not to get confussed with the Palm Tree on the main street.

Food excellent, staff very friendly.
We ate here a few times, at lunch and evening. evening time is themed and not open for food till 7.30pm which is idela anyway.
Kids menu very good and chef very accommodating.

Great food, great hospitality, and price good. Kids liked it coz they got crayons and paper.

Great choice on menu for everyone.

Shipwreck Viewing Platform - (Places to Visit in Zante)

D T           

Great. Hired a car and drove there, got lost slightly but we made it. Well worth it.

There are some locals selling local produce and a van selling drinks hot and cold and ice cream and the likes.
The platform now has a sign stating only 4 people at a time.

Alykes Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

D T           

 Just bakc form Alikes.

We loved it.
The resort is quiet if you want it and busy if you want it as well, 
It has nice places to eat and lively bars too, so will suit everyone.
Unfourtunaley the salt flats that look really nice on all the pics have been left to go to ruin and look a mess, apparently they have been filled with water to make them look better before the really busy time and the locals say they are full of mozy eggs that will hatch anytime now and there will be a swam of them,
dont know how true that is but glad I am not there then. The locals are really .
I would go there again if it wasnt for the airport. Arrivals was ok went to new building but departures is still bad. Was outside or approx  2hrs for check in with a further 20mins inside , got though to departure lounge if that is wat you can call it (not alot of seats)  quick flit round duty free and then we had to board plane.
