Alykanas Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Lulu L           

Alykanas was very nice, the beach is lovely and sandy and the water is crystal clear. We went in September which was perfect but it probably gets quite busy in July and August. EVERY restaurant has loads of English options, down to a full cooked breakfast, but there are some more traditional tavernas to be found which we prefered. If you are staying more than a week you may want to hire a car as it is quite small and the bus service is dubious!

Alykes Tourist Train - (Zante Excursions)

Definately worth going on. The scenary is lovely and Spirios is very sweet, as are the raisens you get to try at his taverna! PLenty of his wine to try as well. We also saw the 108 year old lady, with remarkably dark hair for a lady her age!

Glass Bottomed Boat Trip - (Zante Excursions)

GO ON THE TRIP WITH GRAHAM. Bokk through dionysis tours. It was an excelent trip, swimming in the deep crystal waters was particularly fantastic. We didn't see a turtle but we were there in September and it was still interesting, especially as Graham is so enthuisiastic. Whatever you do, do not go on a trip that lets you get on Turtle island, it is helping to make the turtles extinct, and they are very close already.

Dannys Kali Pigi Hotel - (Accommodation in Alykanas)

By the sounds of the comments we were very lucky at Danny's! Our studio was very clean, and was cleaned every day, it was also very quiet and the other guests seemed nice. The cooking facilities areextreamly basic, it has to be said, but we never planned to cook! The pool is spotless as well. The lady in the shop was always lovely and chatted to us quite alot, we didn't knowly get short changed! we did think, however, that in the height of summer it wouldn't have been so nice, full of screaming kids!!!
