Alykes Tourist Train - (Zante Excursions)

Debs B           

Excellent trip.  We booked this whilst staying in Alikanas 2 weeks ago.  It was a scorching hot day.  The museum was fantastic as was the church with its healing water - stinks but we tried it for sunburn.  Further on we stopped at taverna and met Spiros a lovely, lovely man.  Free wine started to flow and heads started getting fuzzy!!  Once back on train small bottles of wine passed to the ladies however, my sister-in-law is not a wine drinker so she passed to her other half who necked it on the way back to the hotel.  Once back at the hotel and 5 mins by the pool he was snoring. On waking he could'nt praise this trip enough.  Thanks to Brenda for all the info.  We sat at the back of the train with Brenda and as like Brenda we are all from Leicester we had a great time with her.  Unfortunately for Brenda, she sat with my brother-in-law who found it difficult to talk as he constantly had the bottle of wine in his mouth.  Definitely a trip not to be missed and great value for money.  We were going to book the night visit as well but unfortunately as it was end of season, this had been finished.  A must for next year!

Levante - (Restaurants in Alykanas)

Stayed at the Mouzakis 1/10/06 for 2 weeks so Levante was 'our local'.  We loved it here tried other places but always ended up going back in for a night cap (several) before bed.  Most evenings, out came Dimitri with brandy - luckily we did'nt have far to walk to bed.  The food was exceptional and very reasonable.  What can I say the salads are amazing as are the pizzas.  Kia, Dimitri and family are very, very friendly and would recommend it to anyone.

Suzuki Jimny (4x4) - (Hire Cars in Zante)

Debs B           

We hired a Jimny for 1 day in October and had a brill day.  Hubbie wasn't keen on hiring a car at all coz he drives for a living and wanted a break but I talked him into it for 1 day then he did'nt want to take it back.  It only cost 35 euros for the day coz it was end of season and we went to the North (as we visited South last time we went).  Kids loved it with the top down even though it was a bit breezy up in the mountains.  Definitely hire another and next time for longer!!!
