 Can someone please help.... I have been trying to book the 2 bedroom apartment in Beach House 2 for next summer (July/August 2010). I know it's there,  because we've stopped in it twice. Yet somebody should try telling this to Thomas Cook. I have visited the TC website, according to that they don't even travel to Alykes. Visited two local travel agents (one a TC shop) and they say they can't find it ??? Can anybody help by letting me know the best way to book a family holiday for 2010 to the Beach House ??  I will sure need one after all this hassle !!

Just got back from fantastic holiday at beech house 11. Vikki,& Spiros were as wonderfull as ever. (Spiros on top form) and baby Nadia is realy beautiful. She takes after Vikki thank god.
We have been here three years running now and realy love it. The Virago bar is a must, and the perfect way to end your day. Spiros makes the best cocktails.
Hope to make it back again next year, but it appears Thomas Cook are being a bit of a pain. Rumor is that they may pull out of Alikes. If they do it won't stop us going there. We will just find anouther route.Nothing will keep us away from this wonderfull resort and fantastic people.

Hi Lisa, Beach House could be fully booked, best if you ring TC.

Re Alykes I can assure you they do go to Alykes, I think it might be a ploy to get people to go to other resorts on the Island.

Lisa E

I have looked on Thomas Cook's website and they don't even go to Alykes let alone Beach House ?

HelloVikki, Spiros & Baby Nadia, Wishing you the happiest Christmas ever with your gorgeous little girl. See you Sept 2009. luv dot & brian xx

 Hello hope this helps you. You can book BH1 there has been some confusion, this is what Vikki wrote on JZ Forum.

 
 Just in case you can't get the link to work this is what Vikki wrote:
 
Just to clear up the confusion over Beach House.

I can confirm that I have now signed contracts for both Beach House I and II for summer 2009.

In January Thomas Cook decided they would combine both properties under the name Beach House II for some reason known only to them. From today I have sorted this out and future bookings will be taken as in previous years (ie if you want BHI that's what you book, likewise for Beach House II).

Of course it may take a week or two for this to filter down to the sales team (and even longer to travel agents), so in the mean time, I suggest that you call 08448007787 and if you want to book Beach House I request a studio which sleeps 2 and use the property code GI1S00. If you wish to book Beach House II, ask for a studio that sleeps 3 (or the two bed apartment) and use the property code GI1S01. If the person you are speaking to is unable to do this, insist on speaking to a manager!!!!

I hope this clears up any confusion, and we look forward to seeing you all in The Virago next year!

Regards all,
Vikki.

Dot            

 Hi Samantha, they are about a 15 minute walk away from each other. How well do you know Alykes? The Beach House is at the far end of town past the salt flats opposite The Apollo, and the Koukanaria is up the hill from the Relax restaurant in the cente of town. Hope this helps.

Samantha W

Samantha W

Thanks Sam

Hi Dawn,

sorry for the delay, but unable to use this site last week. Anyway in answer to your question,all Beach House 1 apartments have a sea view ( quite breathtaking at times ), and it doesn't matter which one you get, as they are well looked after, basic but clean.Iv'e added a view for you. Chris & myself have 3 weeks at BH 1 in July, this will be the 5th year running so you can tell what we think.
 
    Regards Kev.

Re honeymoon at Beach House I, we stay there each year and this photo is the view you can expect from your balcony, as Dot said Virago Bar is close by for a great place to drink. Enjoy
Hilary

David T

reference your queery regarding Beach House 2. Stayed there last October, and cannot fault it. Clean, good beds,secure, and good facilities. Would recommend Beach House 1 or 2 to anybody. See you all 11.5.06.

Derek R

details and or comments regarding beechouse 2

Dot            

Hi, There are 8 studios in BH1. The campsite is very quiet and rarely used . You will find BH1 to be a great base for a very relaxing holiday. The Virago bar is a really great place to go to in the evenings and only a few steps away from BH1. Have a great holiday, we'll be back  there in Sept.

Dot            

 Merry Christmas, looking forward to staying in The Beach House again next year.love

dot & brian xx

Damien D           

my partner and I r going to the beach house 1 aug 3rd 2006 for 3 weeks for our honeymoon has anybody got any photos of the beach house and alykes village cheeeeeeeeeeers!

Julie P           

 
Hi Vicky and Spiros its Super Rep here. STILL in the UK ( long story ) hope you're both well. Can't tell you how much i miss you all and Alikes in general. My e-mail is jpf1@btinternet.com. Keep in touch x

 Just back from 2 great weeks at The Beach House. Looking forward already to going back next year.

Shirley, Manos fly from Gatwick, Stanstead, Manchester,Cardiff, Ireland in fact most airports.
I can only second what Kevin has already said. dot

Kevin I           

  

 Shirley, you can only book Beach House 1 & 2 through Manos, they are not in any other holiday company / tour operator  brochure. Also you cannot book them with the owners, as Manos book the appartments for the whole season.. I would certainly recomend these appartments, as in Greece nearly all appartments are basic, but these are kept spotless, and the location is second to none, also the owners are a credit to Alykes, nothing is to much trouble. Vikki &Spiros ( the owners ) also run the Virago bar, again
a super place. Go and enjoy. Just a couple of photos taken from BH 1.
This year the horse & carridges were running as normal.

Shirley E           

Hi - i want to book beach house 1 for next year, manos only fly from stansted, which other tour operators book out the beach house, as i am trying to get a flight from luton? Can we book direct with the apartment owners?

 
We have stayed twice in Zante and really liked it, have they stopped the horse and carts now? (we thought they added character to the place).

Fern R

Thanks I have found the location. just waiting to go now

Ken N           

Fantastic Apartments & fantastic holiday

Unbelievably hot.
Pool within 50 yards & beach only 20yds.
Couldn't fault anything except beds & pillows a bit hard !!!

Kevin I           

 Fern, looking towards the sea from the salt flats you should be able to locate the Golden Dolphin, then going left you have the Montreal Hotel, then Koala then Sydney House, and next to that is Beach House 1. Beach House 2 is located  behind Beach House 1. I'm sure you will love it.
 
   Regards Kev Ison.

Fern R

My husband and I are going to The Beach House Alikes in September, can anyone tell me how to find it on a map of the area.

Dot            

  Have a great holiday Tracey.

Tracey G

dot you are a godsend i was really worrying about pillows what would people like me who knows nothing about the resort do without you. we are really looking forward to it 3 weeks and counting .

Dot            

  Hi Tracey, Vikki has confirmed that the pillows at BH2  are 100% polyester. Have a great holiday. You will love it there, great location and The Virago Bar is a really nice place to have  a drink in.

Dot            

  Hi Tracey, I am pretty sure they are foam. I will email Vikki  (owner of BH2 )and ask her. dot

Tracey G

i really do need to know about these pillows being feather or not please help do i need to bring mine as i am allergic to feathers to quite a severe degree

Tracey G

i would like to know if the pillows in beach house 2 are of the feather kind as i am highly allergic to feathers. we are there on 3 august cant wait heard so much about it

Dot            

  Looking forward to staying at the Beach House again in Sept..

Vikki & Spiros who run the great bar "The Virago" will be celebrating the bars 10th Anniversary on June 28th. For anybody going soon, have  a great time and a drink for us,  we can't be there this June but will be back in Sept.
As Wendy & Dave say you couldn't meet a nicer family than The Patrinou Family. The apartments are spotlessly clean and a great location.
Think we met you a couple of years ago Wendy. dot

David A           

Add your commen  On and off this will be our twentieth year at the Beach House(1). This year, our youngest and her family are coming with us in October. We are bound for B.H.2. It will mean an invigorating walk to the beach every day of well over 20 yards, but I,ll have to put up with that!  for anybody contemplating going, the accomodation is first class, Mr.and Mrs. Petrinou are a delight, and Vickie and Spiros, well, what can we say? Always there, always helpful, and excellent hosts. It is quite delightful to sit in the Virago and watch the world go by. I know there are other bars etc. in Alykes, but stick to the best, and you ain't gonna go wrong. I often sit on the beach and think "I'd love to go to Kefalonia" but I know that if I am there, I would be busting to get back to Alykes. See you in October.

Tracey G

i8 read that we need to take towels to beach house 2 never been to greece before so any info would be great.

Dot

Alison T

Vikki P           

Both Beach Houses are available through Manos Holidays. They will be able to tell you of availability.

Jayne P

We have stayed at the Beach House before and would love to find out if there is any availability during September 2004??

Vikki P           

There are sunloungers for hire from Maria at the beach outside the Sydney House which is right next door to the Beach House. They cost around 5 euro per day per pair.

Tracey H

I am staying at Beach House 2 in August & wondered if anyone could tell me if there are sunloungers for hire on the beach outside? I can't really tell from the pics in the brochure

Vikki P           

Hello David,

In answer to your query about Beach House II: all the rooms have a partial seaview. This means that you have to turn your head to the left slightly in order to see the sea! Although not comparable to the full on -fells like you are actually still on the beach whilst sitting on the balcony- feeling of Beach House I's sea views, the rooms in BH II are of a much higher spec inside. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay here. We look forward to meeting you in the Virago.

Vikki & Spiros Patrinou

David L

Hi

I am staying in Beach House Two in August, and wondered if they have sea views? I hear Beach House one does, but have not heard about Beach House Two

Christine R           

Just back from Alykes we stayed in beach house 2 they are right near the beach its the second time we have stayed there, we will always stay there now they are brilliant.

Les W

Does anyone know the e-mail address or telephone number of Vicky and Spiros? We went there last year and had a fab time and we said we'd keep in touch.

Katie Y           

Hi there, I have never booked over the internet or with Manos before and it will be the first time abroad for me without parents. Im just a little precausious and would like to know what its like "island in general" and if you think its a good place for my first holiday??

Kev I           

This is the place for a perfect laid back holiday. The owners, Vikki,
Spiros & family could not be more friendly & helpful. I don't want to
say much more as there won't be any places left when I want to book
again. All I will say is it's brilliant if you want a chilled out holiday with superb people and a wonderful location this is the place to go.

SEE YOU IN JULY.

Laura S           

Superb settings! about 30 seconds walk from the sea, and near
the virago bar (best bar in alykes). Might even get a free
watermelon from vikki and spiros!!! Definitely going again. Yes
indeedy-o!

Dave B           

PERFECT.

Crlla C           

can any one give me the telephoneof the beach house in Alykes or recommend any other upmarket accomodation.

Ann H
