Blue Caves and Shipwreck Cruise - (Zante Excursions)

Claire H          4/10

My boyfriend and I went to see the shipwreck and the caves last year.  All I can say is 6 hours on a boat isn't my idea of fun!  I would recommend sitting inside on the comfy seats if you can find one, as it's like sitting on a plastic lawn chair all day in the wind if you don't. We did actually get to see the ship, which was nice if a bit rusty, although didn't really stay for that long, and another boat hit ours while we were docked, almost taking out a handful of swimmers!  The caves were very pretty, although we only saw them at a distance, and the water I must say, was an amazing blue.  I am glad I've seen the shipwreck, as it's one of the reason's I went to Zante in the first place, but I wish I'd maybe done a half day instead, wouldn't have been as seasick!

Water Village - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Claire H          10/10

Went to the waterpark last year, and thought it was brilliant!  Even in early September it was pretty quiet, so there wasn't really any queue's. We're going back to Zante this year and the waterpark is definately on my list of places to visit again.  I thoroughly enjoyed the lazy river, and the slides where you sit on the rings, especially the black hole, that was so much fun!  Went on a bus trip from Lganas, which really took the stress out of the day.  We had plenty of time at the park, but not too long that we were getting bored, and didn't have to worry about driving there/back.

Hellenk Taste - (Restaurants in Laganas)

After promising the guy on the door that we'd eat there sometime during our hol, we tried it one night.  It was awful!  I ordered a chicken that, no kidding, was still bleeding, and my boyfriend ordered a 'margarita' pizza, that was basically cheese on toast, not a drop of tomato on it!  As I obviously couldn't eat my salmonella-on-a-plate we ended up having to split this sad excuse for a pizza and still couldn't finish it!  We ate at some lovely restaurants while away, but this one should be avoided at all costs! Ugh!

Michaels Place - (Restaurants in Laganas)

Ate here twice last year, and we're definately planning to eat here again when we come back this year.  The food was delicious, the service was excellent and I couldn't fault a thing.  Would also recommend the bar next door, which I think is owned by the same people, and is also very friendly!

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Claire H          3/10

The airport is absolutely awful, but it really isn't enough to put me off going back, as I'm returning for another holiday there this year.  The best piece of advice for new travellers to Zante, is to not expect much from the airport on the way home, then you are not dissappointed.  It is small, cramped and takes ages to get through, but it's only a few hours of your holiday, and the island itself more than makes up for it!
