We just returned from Zante on Monday, and had a very relaxing time in the sun. The hotel was superb, very clean and comfortable, with really helpful & trustworthy staff. Dorella makes a wicked cocktail - well worth a try! Only snag is the proximity to the airport... about 5 minute drive!

Lucy and I just got back on Monday, and visited the Cave Bar a few times. Its a wicked bar with a small castle like tower which has a great view over Kalamaki. The bar is done out a treat and the flowers smell delicious. Prices were fine, had a few drinks, Luce loved the gin fizz... good music and busy, but not too packed. Very friendly staff....would recommend it! Watch for the night lit sign on the hillside.

Hi Rachel, my girlfriend and I got back from Kalamaki on Monday. You can book the trip to Kefalonia with the tour operator but we booked with ZET (Zante Tourist Board) via Smile Tours on the high street in Kalamaki. This way it cost us at least half the price (£16 each - 8000 Drachmas) and our coach followed the JMC & Thomson ones anyway! It goes 07:00 to 20:00 daily, and you do all the pick ups then head to the North of Zante for the ferry. Day involves trips to St.Gerasimos Church, Drogarati Cave (staligmites and stuff), Melissani Lake - Cave (small boat trip), Karavomillos, Mirtos (panaramic view of island)and a quick look at the site of Captain Corellis. Best day of the hols for us! If you want more info, or to see a couple of snaps email me at marcusstott@yahoo.com....have a nice time!!

Sorry Rachel, that should have been TEZ tour company, not ZET!! Also as mentioned below you do have to pay 2500 dracmas more for the cave and lake, but worth it!!
