We ate here for most of our holiday food was always excellent for both English and Greek dishes.Staff were very good with kids very friendly remembering which of us drank what and even gave us a regular table.Bloke on the door is a nutter would leap into the road and stop traffic if he noticed you coming on the opposite side.

Alykanas Beach Hotel - (Accommodation in Alykanas)

We have just come back from our 2nd two week stay here and it's great, the staff are all excellent and very friendly and very helpfull. Rooms are always kept very clean with cleaners in everyday.
This visit myself, my wife and our 5 year old son were in a single room apartment along the side of the complex. The only niggles for us were the constant reserving of sunbeds with towels which the hotel doesn't seem to mind and i couldn't see much need for as there were always plenty of beds, although watching the young girl struggling past our balcony every morning barely able to see past the mound of towels she was laiden with made us smile.
The other point which iv'e seen raised here is the noise, we were just 3 rooms away from the bar although we faced away from it. The noise from the bar itself for us was never an issue it was always finished for midnight and never that loud the main problem was those late night revelers coming back and not worring to much about the rest of us with kids who were in bed in fact the couple in the room opposite us woke us up every night for a week at 1 - 2am still can't blame the hotel for that.
I thoroughly recommend the place and can't wait to go back

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Dave R           

It's getting there the old airport is all but gone and when we left on the 9th July was only being used for departures all arrivals are through the newly built much bigger airport which will shortly be excepting the departures to.
The old airport was a nightmare but now the new ones built it does take away the only thorn in Zantes side
