Lista Studios - (Accommodation in Alykanas)

Ian C          10/10

click to enlargeAh the Litsa Studios! First time back to Alykanas since 2008 - rather dreading the turmoil that one hears about in the Greek economy. No worries! The Litsa is delightful - the first place I have ever stayed where the owners came out to welcome you from the bus!

Studios are typically Greek - white walls, bathroom with shower tray, no curtain and hand held shower. But here they are scrupulously clean, nicely done and fairly airy. Each room (bar one) overlooks the pool area - but if you are thinking noisy, forget it! These are the quietest appartments I have ever been in. Guests at our visit were friendly (not obtrusively so) and pleasant. the whole thing made for a very pleasant return to Zante - and my wife is asking when we can go again
The studios are a little way out of town, but it's an easy walk, even in Greek summer heat. The bar area is basic in service but the staff go the extra mile to help you. To be thoroughly recommended to anyone that cares to go
(But please don't all go, or it won't be as easygoing as it is!)
Dennis and Ouriana - thank you so much for our stay. Even our 20 something daughters want to come back soon!

So, so great here. Despite not going back to Zante for 3 years, we were thrilled to find the same high standards here as they always were. The family are so welcoming and smiley - but I think that one of them has departed this life since 2008 - the Mum? so sad to see her picture up on the wall like that

The food is brilliant. This is a class act for reasonable prices. There is nothing that is too much trouble - and there was no dish that we had at another restaurant that we couldnt get here. Smart service, friendly personell: what more could you need or want?
 
We've been coming here on and off since 2005 and are delighted to find it still in business when some of the others have gone. Keep at it - you are simply excellent! The last night we were there they insisted on giving us a 2nd litre of wine free (between four of us) so we staggered home
 
Can't wait to return

Very very nice. We ate here three times during the fortnight and could easily recommend it. Not quite my favourite restaurant, but even so, it's well worth going to
