Mermaids - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Jonathan V  (11 July 2001)         

If you like loud thumping music from accompanying bars when you eat, being packed in like sardines, an indifferent menu that typified the prevailant substandard quality of food found in many of the tourist food bars, this is the place for you. If Macdonalds means restaurant to you, you'll love this place. Otherwise stay well clear.

Kalamaki Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Jonathan V           

Took three chidren and found the beach uncrowded, clean and enjoyable. Hired a pedalo and saw five turtles. At night the beach is deserted due to the curfew (to protect the turtles) - a drink and meal at the Crystal Beach hotel (literally alongside the beach)thus provides views of the sunset, a deserted beach and just the sound of the waves lapping on the shore. Brilliant. Laganas - no thanks!

Daisy Apartments - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Took three chidren. Clean, pool good and staff helpful. No air conditioning- fans are available. Children had a wonderful time. However, main Laganas road 300 mtrs away cross country. Music bars very loud at night, with weekend all nighters. If you like listening to Rolf Harris singing "Tie me kangaroo down sport", with audience participation,over and over again, between three and four on a Sunday morning, book now. A real pity- it spoiled a super holiday.
