Dora Studios - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Kevin M           

The apartments are some of the best we have stayed in. The bar is open late the coctails and the FREE samples are a speciality of the house. The family that own and run the apartments are very helpfull and friendly. The Dora apartments are very near the centre of argassi but far enough away not to notice any loud music etc. We would not hesitate in reccomending these apartments to anybody. Thanks for a great holiday Kevin, Linda, Georgina ,William and Joseph.

Argassi Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Kevin M           

Argassi "sand strip" ( beach ) is the most dissapointing thing about argassi. There is no beach in the normal sense of the word to speak of although there are numerous sea front bars that have pools and sunbeds for rent for 6 euros a day that are excellent value and give you a sea view feeling with the convinience of a pool. Ther are excellent beaches within a couple of miles of argassi. A free coach picks you up outside the Wreck Bar at 10.30 and takes you to ST. Nickolas beach and as long as you rent their sunbeds they will even take you back!! at 5.00pm. Be warned it is a bit of a free for all getting on to the coach and a " who dares wins" mentality is shown by many barging onto the bus first thing in the morning. The better alternative is to rent bikes/cars to get to the numerous beaches around the island. On the way to the ST Nickolas beach you pass signs for the RELAX BAR. This takes you to the beach just before St Nickolas and it is great. Watersports, jet skis a bar with hammocks to chill out in and a great view of the Greek mainland and Kefalonia. Sunbeds are 6 euros for 2 a day the sea is shallow and the sand is not stoney but vey hot!!
