Buon Amici - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Luci H          10/10

  A lovely restaurant.  The chap outside was very friendly - we were in kalamaki for 2 weeks, and every night he spoke to us!  Our food was divine - I had pasta with asparagus, bacon and peas in a creamy sauce, my husband had haiwain pizza.  The staff are very friendly, and people were being turned away as it got full.  Go and enjoy it!!!

 
 
 

Escape - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Luci H          10/10

We only went here once, and wished we'd gone more.  Set in lovely, peceful surroundings it made a lovely change  from the strip.  Staff very friendly and helpful.  We had garlic mushrooms and tzadiki for starter, and lemon pork and lamb for main. Beautiful!

Hera Restaurant - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Luci H          10/10

 we ate here a couple of times during our two week holiday - it was lovely.  Both times my husband had lamb stefado, which arrived still sizziling in the pot.  I had mousakka, and lemon chicken, which was on the bone and in a gravy, arrived piping hot.  The staff here are very friendly.  A nice touch is the shots of ouzo and metaxa the adults get at the end of the meal, as well as a plate of fresh melon to end your meal - free!  If you stay at the Roseland, Bizarro, Amaryllis, metaxa etc it is down your end of the strip.

Mermaids - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Luci H  (01 September 2007)        10/10

We had several evening meals and a couple of breakfasts here during our stay.  Each time staff very friendly and efficient.  Food arrived hot and the meals are big.  The breakfasts here are good to.  It does get very busy we saw a queue form on a few occasions, but it soon went down.

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Luci H          3/10

 I have given the airport a 3, ONLY because of the fantastic organisation by the Thomson reps.  On Friday, I was dreading departures after reading comments on here.  However, we stood outside, under cover for no more than 10 minutes.  Inside we probably queued for 30 mins, whislt the reps told us which queue to go to, when to get passports ready etc  I heard several people say it was better than last year -it  was my first visit so have nothing to compare it to.

 
Now for the bad bit. The actual lounge was heaving with people sitting on the floor, stairs, anywhere.  Duty free was rammed.  The downstairs snack bar is a rip off.  No prices, but as it gets warm you need a drink.  My husband was hungry, so bought a sandwich.  It had a 2/08/07 sticker on it, and the ham was curled.  Clearly nearly a month out of date, we took it back, only to be told "It's very good meat" by the smarmy man.  My husband chucked the sandwich on the counter, and we got our money back 5.50!!!  I bet lots of people get ill from these sandwiches.  The really annoying thing is the new departures is ready, but empty!!  Arrivals is fine.
