Golden Sun Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Golden Sun Hotel.   Share the comments of others regarding the breakfast never changing and about the excellent service of Anastasia and Nevine (who is going back to Bulgaria next week to continue her University studies.   Concerned though about hidden charges others should know about before going.   Air conditioning only on twice a day at times not normally in the room.   If you want it on longer you pay 6 Euros per day.   No fridge but can rent - 6 Euros per day.   Foam mattress for the sunbeds - 1.50 Euros per day.   Met a London couple with a 14 month old baby andthey had put a spare bed in the room which is free.   When they asked at the reception for a cot - 6 Euros per day.   Besides these extra costs the hotel is comfortable, clean and the pool is excellent - providing there are no noisy Italians staying, they can get a bit loud.

Kalamaki Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Rebecca, just returned on Sunday from Kalamaki.   You will not find much change in the weather in October, still warm during the day but cooler at night so take a jumper.   Not much rain at this time as far as the locals are concerned.   Not so sure about the availability of the boats at the blue caves or the shipwreck.   The season for the locals usually runs to about the 28th October but the tourists have generally dried up before then.   Your best bet is to go on the website for the Golden Sun Hotel in Kalamaki and send an email addressed to Anastasia who is an excellent girl on reception and who is a local in the village.   She will help you no end with information.   Give her our love.
