Hi does anyone have photos of the apartments at Filoxenia. On making my booking there was an oppertunity to upgrage from a studio to a 1bedroom apartment at no extra charge so I would like to know if this truly is an upgrade or is it one of the dugouts one of you mentioned. Also what is the best apartment to go for ? Basically comfortable, quiet with a pleasant view. Where are the best  apartments, Pool view or what.? Any suggestions by anyone are most welcome. I would also be grateful for any other tips one may have as this is my first visit to this Island and I am planning on possibly renting a car and maybe doing some boat trips if time permits. How much can one do in a week without cramming it too much. Looking forward to hearing from ye...Thanks Patsy

Hi Finbarr, thanks for that and may I add how right you are. I received a telephone call from Panorama saying there was a problem with the booking and that there is no such thing as a 1x4 bed apt in the Filoxenia. However they have offered to move us to the Planos apartments and I am not so sure what to do. I looked up a website and the comments on these were not great but some of the comments are fairly old. Are you in anyway familiar withe the said apartments? The other option is to accept a studio apartment at the Felixiona? Any advice you may have  is most welcome. We are a mature couple and do not have children so much as we love them we enjoy peace while on holiday. Thanks for getting back with the suggestions and we are looking forward to our trip whichever we accept. By the way I had even received confirmation from Panorama for the original booking of an apartment. It was obviously a mistake on their part!! Cheers and thanks again.... Patsy

Add your comment here, Kostas brothers Taverna must be the best I have ever eaten in. I have visited a number of the Islands and I have never encountered such genuine hospitality, friendliness and service. The food is delicuous not to mention cheap and he has a great selection of wines also. I can't imagine how he and his fellow musicians keep the pace night after night serenading visitors and locals alike. Without a doubt the best food we have eaten in Grece. The most romantic and the most fun. It is the experience of a lifetime to have found this gem in Zakynthos and I hope I do not regret sharing our infomation. My husband wanted to keep it a secret so that it would not change by getting over popular. I don't think it is possible as the owner Yannis is so genuine along with his lifelong friend Takis and also the sons of Yannis. If you like Boxer dogs there are some on his land beside the Taverna.... pure pet is Ciara..... If you go there you will not regret it.... My husband had the Zakynthos goulash and was thrilled with what he got, he could hardly finish it and he is a big man and I had pork souvlaki and was not disappointed. Portions are large to say the least.... the second night I had chicken fillet and myhubby had grandmothers plate. Both very satisfying...
