Alykanas Beach - (Beaches in Zante)

To Sarah Hendrie.

 Hi Sarah.  
     We stayed  at the Dennis Apartments in 2003/04 Although they are very basic we found them to be quite clean and adequate, The bathroom is a bit small & can get quite wet when showering(a tip: take a metal coathanger with you, there is a metal grill covering the window & we bend the hanger round & wrap it round the shower head leaving you with both hands free). My wife, her brother & partner have had brilliant hols in Alykanas, the Dennis are well situated not to far to walk to the centre & there is a nice 20min stroll to Alykes. Plenty of good restaurants. Busters bar just across from Dennis is a good night. 
Hope you have a good holiday & look forward to your comments when you get back.
 
P.S. We are going again this year Sept 15th to 29th, if anybodys there at this time say hello will be in the Levante Bar(Greek owned) every night from about 10.30 drinking the best the Barcardi & cokes in town.

There is no problem hiring cycles, cars, scooters etc, there is plenty to see in the surrounding area & if he is very energetic & doesn't mind distance he will have a great time exploring.

You have picked a great resort to go to, going back in September for 3rd time can't wait.  I know you will have a brill holiday.

To Simone f

Just a short note to let you know not to worry, weather is great in September we have been the last 2 years & had 2 days rain, still hot but not mad hot just nice for sunbathing.
The nights are lovely I just wear teeshirts, never needed a jumper etc, although my wife sometimes carries a cardigan.
Nightlife is quieter in Alykanas but there is an abundance of bars & restaruants, Alikes is a nice 15mins walk away & is a bit more livlier.
We are going again this year arrive15th september & can be found most nights around 11pm in the LEVANTE bar(opposite the Posiden restaruant) with the rest of the gang, pop in & see us if you like let us know what you think of the place. Just as a matter of intrest there is a cash machine in centre of town.
Hope you have a Great holiday.

Hi Annette

You have found the Psarapoula, it is also called the Lemon Tree.
Four of us have been to Alykanas last 2 years, going again this year 15th Sept to 6th Oct, & we have eaten there many times & found it alright.

Hi Annette
 
Glad to be of help, as a matter of intrest we spend most of the day round the pool in the Mousazakis apts
& most of the night in the Levante bar at the front of the apts.
My wife Carol daughter Donna & boyfriend John can't wait to get back there, if you look back on the resorts page you will find a picture of me & Carol.
Be sure to say Hello. 

October - (Best Time to Visit)

Allan H           

Arrived  home on the 6th October, weather not as good a previous years but that didn't stop us having our usual great time. We made some more new friends (Annette & Gordon), Julie & Ben, as well as all the gang, to many to mention. Stayed at the Dennis again for the last time, these apartments are very basic but have meet our needs, however this year standards were very poor & we noticed next year they are not in the brochure.

I stiil think it is a great time to visit Sept/Oct & is has not put us off going at that time of year again.  Next year I am going to look into the feasabilty off booking flight only & seperate acccomadation & compare as there seems no shortage of rooms Sept/ Oct.
P S Gary up & running again.

We ate here 3 times & each time we were greeted with friendly staff, a free 1/2 caraf of wine & exellent food. The Moussaka was really nice & very fillng. It is a nice setting & a lovely stroll back to the centre after your meal.

Hi Tony

Like Chriss & Mal said there is a ATM near the Greedy Greek, however I had trouble withdrawing money on our Visa debit card, not sure about Maestro etc, I also know of other people having the same trouble, I never tried my Credit Card so I can't comment on that.  However dont worry there is another ATM in the big supermarket opposite the Jam Inn Bar on way to Alykes, about 3 mins walk from the Greedy Greek, & i had no problem there whatsoever.  There are also numerous ATM's in Alykes, so you should have no problem. Take Chriss & Mal's advice & make withdrawal's during the day or early night, as we were told they mey run out late at night. If you go have a great time, we will we are going back again in September.

Hi Stevie

 
Hazy here, this year will be or 4th in Alykanas, always go roughly same time last 2 weeks in September. you will enjoy the resort, the beaches are great, as to a lot of the Restaraunt's etc, the weather is nice, just right in the day & not to hot at night still teeshirts, but not to hot to sleep.  So much info I could give, dont know where to start, instead if you have not Registered i suggest you do, then you can login & read all comment's & view's on Alykanas.  It is a great site, always someone only to happy to help with advice.
You dont say where you are staying, which would help as to information on bars shops etc around you. I can safely say you will have a great holiday, if i can help anymore no problem.
