We had a fabulous holiday in July 2004 based in the wonderful Alykanas Beach Apartments. The apartments were themselves brilliant and in a wonderful setting, on the beach in the centre of the magnificent bay. Not complaining, but the apartments are for families and there are a lot of children. On the first afternoon while our families relaxed around the pool I wandered down the beach in sweltering heat to explore the locality and check out Alikes. At the junction almost where the beach ends and the road branches off into Alikes I noticed an innoculous bar 'Costas'. I ambled in gagging for a drink, I was served by a very pleasant Greek who spoke perfect English. It turned out to be Costas himself and a perfect gentleman. I sat under the shade with a perfect, cold bottle of Amstel looking out over the sea towards Kefalonia which is clearly visible. It was a totally relaxing and uplifting experience. The sea lapped gently onto the beach and the music at the time was absolutly 'The business'. It was my own 'Shirley Valentine Bar' for men, I had another bottle and don't think I have ever felt so relaxed in my life. There were eight of us in our party My wife, me and daughters 13 & 20 with friends who also had daughters 13 & 16. I actually went to Costas Bar 4 times that day. Over the course of the week we visited many times. Everyone Adults and Children loved the bar, Costas and his family, his drinks were fantastic as was the food (snacks) and music which was never loud. The ambiance of this place is 'Greek Heaven'. Costas my friend we are already booked and we cannot wait to see you again on 17th July 2005. Yamas Efharisto Polie.
NB: Advice to all don't take the road from Alykanas to Alikes walk down the beach, it's about the same distance and call in at Costas, there and back again.
