I've stayed at the same hotel, every year for the last 7 years just flown back yesturday night, an looking forward to coming back in 3-4 weeks. So until then a big good bye to all at the metaxa.

June - (Best Time to Visit)

Vicky S           

June is the perfect time to visit Zante, the weather is still hot obviously, but it's a heat you can stand, for the people that don't really like it scorching, the only down side was that it wasn't very busy, well not as much as I've seen in previous years in Kalamaki. But the weather and temperature side of it was great.

Kalamaki Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Vicky S           

Been to Kalamaki on my holidays for the past 7 years to the same place, same hotel, same restaurants, with the same people every year. An I love it. Close enough to the night life to get a quick taxi ride, which doesn't cost much, unless you want to visit the strip of bars and restaurants on the main strip whch is walking distance. Not many places are from the beach. It's just a great place to say, after being out at night, if you go somwhere loud, you can come back to the hotel and actually sleep, without screams and noise. You also feel safe, with a friendly enviroment, most Greeks, are so pleasant and try and help in most cases. The first time I holidayed in Zante, it was the first holiday abroad my single and very nervous mum had gone on with me, an after the first day, she felt totally relaxed, as it's just that kind of place. I'd really recommend it to anyone, of any age group. Theres something there for everyone.Flew back about 2 weeks agao and  I'll be back there in a few days again!!! I can't wait!

Star (Caretta) Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

i stayed there earlier this year for one night after a mistake at my norm hotel. although i knew anthony before hand, I have read below in the previous comments not such nice things about him, i will say that he is harmless, such a nice and friendly bloke, and that he wouldnt intentionaly try to effend or upset anyone.  the rest of the staff there are also all very friendly, well the ones i spoke to anywayz, especially alex the night bar man. the rooms were a great size and clean. with only one problem, the shower gave out on us, but it was fixed quickly by no other than anthony. so please, if you are looking for accomidation while in zante, please do not be discouraged by previous statements about staff. I have been holidaying in zante for 10 years now, and it has to come in my top 5 places to stay. So i hope to see all staff again next year, hope your all well  Love Vicky

sorry foregot to add my voty things  

Pandesia - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Vicky S          9/10

Sadly I only had one meal at Pandesia this year, however I recommend the swordfish souvlaki. The waiters were friendly, very chatty and where telling me about the fresh fish supply they now recieve which is shown at front of house, so if you would rather see what your eating first, try the fish.

This is not just aimed at Pandesia and I know it is more difficult for people with children but for possible better service if you seemed to feel alittle neglected by staff, try going to most places later in the evening. In general most places, like Pandesia will fall over backwards to keep you entertained and happy throughout your stay.  

Paolo - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

Vicky S          10/10

Hello to all at Paolo's  Each year I recommend this place to everyone I meet and on this site. Excellent food, staff, service, atmosphere and prices. You can't beat it. The staff here make your visit to the pizzeria what it is, George, Jimmy, Alex, Nickos, Maria and not forgetting making it a family buisness Spiros and Paolo (hoping I havn't left anyone out ) but deffinatly recommend anybody to go and try any dish at this all round great restaurant. Hopefully see you all again next year. xxx
