Zakfari Jeep Safari - (Zante Excursions)

Clive M  (29 July 2003)         

We go on many trips when on holiday and most of them are very interesting. This day out was also interesting but more than that it was GREAT FUN. Thanks to Malcolm (our driver)who has a wealth of knowledge about the island to go with his enthusiasm - a great bloke. If you only make one accompanied excursion on Zante make it this one otherwise there will be so many parts of the island that you will never see. Don't forget to wear sensible shoes as there are occasions when you will get out of the jeep to see some of the most sensational views ever. Our day was entitled Lifeguard day

Dias - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

We booked a holiday to Zante at short notice and were offered Dias at a very reasonable price so we took it despite the fact that it was not in the brochure. When we arrived we were most pleasantly surprised to find a lovely new hotel, more spacious than most accommodation we have had in Greece with the bonus of a sea view. We had been to Kalamaki before so went back to some of our favourite restaurants from our previous visit. We don't usually eat at the hotel we are staying at but decided to give it a try on our penultimate night and we were very glad we did - we ate there again on our last night as it was more than the equal of anywhere else in the resort - extensive menu with plenty of vegetarian options - unusual in Greece, friendly efficient service and reasonably priced - as most things in Greece seem to be for us Brits. We will definitely be staying at Dias if (when) we return to Zante.
