We are a couple in our 'mid' 40's and have just returned from the Arion Hotel for the 2nd year on the trot! We love it!! Marina and Sypros (the owners) gave us a very warm welcome and are very attentive to anything you might need. The Hotel is spotless and the pool is fantastic but it is obvious that they are striveing all the time to improve the service they give to all their visitors. They do tend to attract more visitors from Gerany rather than the UK but that does not cause any problems, most of the guests are couples and familys so there is not the scramble for the beds that has been suggested. The beach is only a short walk away and there are plenty of places to eat and enjoy the quiet evenings. We would reccomend Tavarna Giovanni wonderful food and excellent service and again a very warm welcome. We have travelled far and wide over the years including Disney and African safari, but what we want now is a quiet relaxing and peaceful break, the Arion and Vassilikos provide this for us. We hope it stays as laid back as it is for many years to come as we will be regular visitors to both the village and the Hotel!

You will receice a very warm welcome and enjoy a lovely meal in pleasant surrondings if you pay them a visit. You will come away believing they really did appreciate your custom which is sadly lacking in alot of places in the UK these days! The prices won't break the bank either! What more could you want? Strongly reccomend you give them a try!!!

 

Vassilikos-summed up it is 'Paradise on Zakynthos' If you have worked hard all year and want a quiet peaceful break then you can't beat it. Plenty choice of tavarna's for a leisurely meal after a hard day on the beach with a good book!! (Highly reccomend Giovanni's). Afew supermarkets, gift shop and Bakery all within easy walking distance of the hotels and apartments. Several Bars with Pools open to all if you stay in a studio, but for great value for money I would reccomend the Arion Hotel. It is run by a lovely family who will give you a very warm welcome should you choose to visit. The beach is lovely with plenty of umberellas and beds for around 3 euros per day.

There is not much in the way of 'entertainment' on the beach, nor is it there much 'nightlife' so if that is what you are looking for then head for Laganas! and leave Vassilikos remaining the tranquill place it is for those of us who enjoy the peace and harmonic quiet!!!!!!!!!!
