Zakfari Jeep Safari - (Zante Excursions)

Sharon - There will still be plenty to do in early October, although you are dependent on the weather at that time of year. It should still be warm during the day, but getting cooler in the evenings. The resorts will not be too busy as this is low season, but all amenities should still be open.

Sharon - Weather will be very warm in June, probably up to 35 c in the day, but still cool in the evenings. This Jeep Safari will be ideal for your kids.

Hello again! I have had to postpone the start date of the tours this year to the start of June as i'm experiencing problems setting up the business this year! It should all be sorted very soon (days rather than weeks), and i will keep you posted on here. Sorry if this means you miss out on the tour, but it is beyond my control at the moment.

Mikalis - (Restaurants in Tsilivi)

Rimmer   (01 June 2002)         

Mikalis is almost the last restaurant in Tsilivi as you head south towards Zakynthos Town on the main road through the resort. It is just after KDees bar, and next to the main Tsilivi Travel Office. I would also like to add that the food here is excellent, and definately worth walking to.

Planos Aparthotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Rimmer            

Planos Bay/Park Apts are finished and ready. They are situated at the northern end of the resort, near the Caravel Hotel.

Contessina Hotel - (Accommodation in Tsilivi)

Rimmer            

Andrew - To book the hotel you will have to phone them direct (try international directory enquiries)or book through a tour operator (Thomson use the hotel i think) which will probably work out a lot cheaper. Flights will be included in the Thomson package, or else book through a travel agent in the UK, as you can't book UK flights from here.

Amoudi Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Rimmer            

John - You can change t/cheques at many places in Amoudi, and you usually get a better exchange in resort than you do in the UK. Local transport is rare in Amoudi, so i would recommend either car hire or excursions if you want to get out and about.

Diana Palace Hotel - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Rimmer            

Amy - Argasi is a fairly small though lively resort, so a short walk on your first night will take you past all the bars and clubs so you can assess the music. Good Luck

Exotica Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Rimmer            

Helen - Dont know the exact location of your suite, but the whole hotel is just for families, so i cant imagine it being very noisy after midnight when by law the music has to be down very low (30db).

Dionysia - I ailed you a few weeks ago about this. I have been a few times in the past to your shop, and it is a nice place to visit, but unfortuneately therer is no room on the tour for it at the moment. However, if i change the route and stops in the future, then i will definately think about including you in the tour. thanks for your interest, and hope to see you soon.

Rimmer   (30 June 2002)         

Kat - Glad you had a good day out in the end, and i'm sorry you couldn't come on the Zakfari as planned. It does however concern me that you were told we are 'uninsured or something'. Bobs comment below sums up the situation quite well. But i would add that all vehicles insured in Greece must display their valid insurance in the window (square piece of paper) and have a road tax disc aswell. In addition to this all safari vehicles must display their operators licence disc in the window. All ours are clearly on display, and i would hope the other companies are aswell! It is worth checking as you say. Could you please tell me who told you we had no insurance, so i can make sure the mistake does not happen again. Thanks. Paul Smith - Zakfari

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your comment. I have spoken last year to a Zante Insight driver about the driving, but obviously it wasn't you as i've never met you! Any comments i would have to make about the company, i would make to Bob and Clive in the UK.
 
Good luck this summer
