Apollo Studios - (Accommodation in Alykes)

Alan M

Hi i must agree with Amandas comments,we stayed here Sept05 it was great we had a great holiday.We stayed in Tsillivi Sept 07,while we were in Tsillivi we decided to get a taxi to Alykes and go to see Dimitris at  the Apollo,what a shock we all got the place didn't look the same at all,it looked run down and not very clean at all we were thinking of having another holiday there but after looking around the place we changed our minds.We can't understand why Dimitris and family have let Apollo get into this untidy state its a shame but we will not be going back,unless thing change for the better.

Hi Sophie,we were in Tsillivi Sept 07 we didn't stay here but i dont think you can go wrong where ever you go for a meal or a drink,the menus are all round about the same,we stayed at he Contessina hotel  which is at the other end of the main street from the Mavrias you could have a walk into the Contessina and try out the lovely pool,  we used a lot of the bars/restaurants the only one we thought was bad was the Mediterrane hotel the food was stone cold when they served it so we didn't go again the service wasn't to clever either.We ate at the Zeus/Menir/Popeyes/Giorgios pretty often we did use few more but as i say dont think you can go wrong where ever you go.Take a taxi to Zante town about 6-30 have a walk round till you see the restaurants getting busy then decide  where to eat, we went 3/4times for a meal some good places to eat there plus its a nice night out, i asked at the hotel where to eat in Zante town and they told us the best places to eat.Well i hope you have a great holiday i'am sure you will its a nice place Tsillivi.PS forgot to say we come to the Mavrias in Sept,you will have to post a comment for me to read when you come back.,
