Papillon Hotel - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Mowgli            

What a dump! Our room looked out onto a cramped, scruffy pool area and the music from the bar kept us awake until gone 3am. That was when the fights started. The other side of the room looked out onto the rear of a restaurant on the main street and that also didn't close until very late. Breakfast was pathetic, just a couple of pieces of toast, some cake and a coffee while you were surrounded by people drinking pints. We ended up going out to a cafe for a proper breakfast. If you've booked a holiday here, cancel it NOW!! Argassi itself is a bit "kiss me quick" and fish 'n' chips for my liking but there are some good places for those who like their Greek islands to be "Greek" if you take the time to hunt them down.

We tried several restaurants during our weeks stay and were disappointed by most but once we found this place we couldn't stay away. It is ideal for couples seeking a bit of quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the main road and it was by far the most "traditional" style of restaurant/taverna we found as opposed to most others which seemed to cater for families, traditonal English tastes and Sky Sports fanatics. My wife is vegetarian and was pleased at the numerous options available. She especially enjoyed the vegetable crepes main course. I loved the meatballs in sauce starter and we both agreed the garlic bread starter was delicious. If you like this place also try the Stars restaurant on the main road towards Zante Town.

There's a bloke who stands outside shouting and hollering and trying to entice you in, he pretends he's your best mate. You fall for it, you go in and it's cramped, overpriced and average food. You pay your bill, leave and the bloke on the door blanks you as he shouts and hollers at someone else who he wants to take your place. We didn't go back.
