Argassi Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

Fest            

Well, as most weather forecasts cannot predict for certain much more than 5 days in advance I don't think many will be able to fill you in on this one!

However as its October and the end of the season I'd expect the weather to be cooling down, probably similar to Aprils weather.

I'm off to Zante, Argassi next Tuesday and the weather reports predict thunder storms :-/ Oh well more cocktails for me :-)

Zakantha Hotel - (Accommodation in Argassi)

Alana A           

Just returned from another holiday in Argassi at the Zakantha Beach. Had a wicked time and the place is still on top form. We met loads of nice people this year who have been going to this hotel for years. We returned yesterday and are already planning another trip for September. Monica from the bar is by far the most friendly person I've ever met. So for anyone who we had the pleasure to meet this June please come and say hello on www.bumpkincrew.co.uk, we would love to hear from you.

I will continue to recommend this great hotel!

Argassi Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Alana A           

Just returned from Argassi and the resort is just as good as before. I also heard from a local that they plan to extend Argassi beach this winter by 50mtrs, which will be great for next summer.

Although there is plenty to do it still isn't rowdy, having something their to cater for all.

June - (Best Time to Visit)

Alana A           

We've just returned on the 8th and we were leaving behind lovely warm weather. Although the best day we had was the day we were leaving, everyday before that was quite cloudy at times with the odd patch of rain. However I think this has passed now and is supposedly meant to be up in the 30's within the next week or two.

Have fun!

The Factory - (Bars in Argassi)

Alana A  (09 June 2004)         

Hmmm it seems The Factory has turned into 'cheese'. Everytime I passed the place (at around 12am)it had Greece (the musical) pounding out or other stuff equally as cheesy. I visted the club 2 summers ago and it was club music, this year it was something alot different. I agree with catering for all music tastes but it was certainly not doing this imo.

Stasantas - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Alana A  (09 June 2004)         

Ate here one night. The service was fine and the food was ok but it was an overdose on carb's. I'm not picky with food by far, but to have a plate containing rice, chips and a jacket potato is imo OTT!

Honestly guys... ditch either the chips or the jackets that you put on most plates, its waaay too much. Also ditch the photo menu, it was hard to pick a meal when you couldn't tell exactly what it was, this is off-putting and makes it feel like Mc Donalds. You can't charge the prices you do if the experience isn't up to much.

Make these few changes and it will be a good place to eat.

Note: The food itself and service was fine, just needs working on.

Piccadilly - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Alana A           

Still by far the best restaurant in Argassi. The food was excellent and the prices good. I recommend to try the 'Piccadilly chicken' it's yummy. Also a big hello to Takis who made us feel welcome and also introduced us to Tentura :)
