Kalamaki - (Exchange Rates in Zante)

Graham B           

kalamaki is a fantastic village on zante and the person who said that it is the worst of english tourism must have stayed in his apartment throughout his holiday I have been visiting zante/kalamaki for a number of years and have never been disappointed except by some of the comments made by my fellow country men like when ordering his breakfast at cronulla stated full english and none of that foreign crap to the greek owner Dia. for those who wish to know where the cash machines are the closest to kalamaki are in laganas but i was told one was due to be built at the Tee junction in kalamaki. For those who want to know whether to take cash as well as euros, you tend to get a better exchange rate in the shops than at home we normally change money at the booze market or merlis shop.

WE HAVE BEEN TRAVELING TO KALAMAKI FOR 7 YEARS AND IN ALL THIS TIME I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LIGHTHOUSE. VERONICA AND DEREK MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME AS DO HER STAFF DURUM AND HIS WIFE. I BECAME ILL DURING ONE OF MY VISITS TO KALAMAKI AND VERONICA LOOKED AFTER ME AND SHE ALWAYS ASKS AS SOON AS SHE SEES ME IF I AM ALRIGHT AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING SHE AND DEREK CAN DO FOR ME,  WHICH SHE DID DURING OUR LAST VISIT IN AUG/SEPT EVEN THOUGH I KNEW SHE WAS UNWELL HERSELF, NOTHING WAS TO MUCH TROUBLE. PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY WHY TRAVEL TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND NOT TRY THE FOOD, WELL I DID, UNFORTUNATLEY I JUST ENJOY ENGLISH FOOD AND DON,T SEE WHY I SHOULD NOT ENJOY THE BEST WHILE I AM AWAY. AND THE BEST FOOD I FIND IS SERVED IN THE LIGHTHOUSE. LONG MAY YOU REIGN. LOTS OF LOVE TO ALL SEE YOU NEXT YEAR GRAHAM,SANDRA, BAZ, NICOLA, PHIL SAYS ( KEEP THOSE FISH CHIPS AND MUSHY PEAS COMING), KAREN, LEE, COLETTE, AND ALL THE KIDS. AS FOR THE COMMENT BY Alison Braithwaite I THINK SHE MAY HAVE GONE TO THE WRONG PLACE. OR IS IT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE  WRONG AND SHE IS RIGHT  OH WELL EVERYONE TO THERE OWN.
