Zakanthi - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

David &           

We went here twice, first just to try but the second time as a special meal for Rachel's birthday. Food both times was excellent. Yes it is a little more expensive than other restaurants in the resort but well worth it as the quality of food, service and atmosphere are all top-notch!

Costas Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

David &           

Costas Apartments were good value. We had CLEAN towels every other day and whilst the sheets were not changed as often as we would have liked, given the heat, they were changed 3-4 times in the 2 weeks we stayed there. We did not find the noise from the pool bar excessive nor did we find any unpleasant bugs (roaches, etc) and even the mozzies did not bother us. The Greek Night was good fun and entertaining if a little hot with all that meths!! The fans were a must and naturally they wanted to ensure that they knew the fans were safe and were not going to damage their apartments. The safety deposit boxes were certainly not a con as EVERYONE wants peace of mind with their valuables. We would visit again.

Zante Town Shoppers Special - (Zante Excursions)

David &           

DO NOT BOOK THIS 'TRIP' WITH JMC/THOMAS COOK!!! (Capital Magic Tour)

You can get a taxi from 'T' junction to Zante town for 14 euros return but the 'trip' with JMC/TC costs 15 euros PER PERSON! The visit to the Callinico winery was rushed and clearly an exercise designed to sell bottles/boxes of wine. As for Zante town we were 'dumped' there with the Instruction to return to the coach in approx 3 hours time. We were given no direction and no advice on what to see. We saw as much as 3 days earlier when we visited Zante by taxi because JMC/TC cancelled the 'trip' (with less than 8 hours notice)

Cave Bar - (Bars in Kalamaki)

David &           

YES, YES, YES!!!! This is THE bar to go to.
Get the moke with Dave & Roly and don't walk in the heat up or down to the bar. The atmosphere is excellent, the music suitable, the staff are all friendly and the drinks are..... hic! Even the non-alcholic fruit punch! (Very refreshing on a hot evening) We were not on the prowl for hunks or babes being quite happy with each others company so we cannot comment on their availabilty here!?

Keri Lighthouse - (Places to Visit in Zante)

David &           

We got to the lighthouse and then found the restaurant. Had the BEST pizza ever (even in Tuscany) here and the view from the terrace was stunning.
