Argassi Resort - (Resorts in Zante)

Nicky M           

we went to argassi on 2oth october to 27th....the weather was still warm and although it was nearing the end of the season alot of restaurants, shops and tours were still open... we stayed at the xenos kamara beach hotel and it was exactly how it was pictured in the brochure and on the website...lovely and it was clean!!! from the pool you just go down some steps and you are on the beach....watch out for the people next door who charge for the use of the sun loungers...as you are staying in the hotel you are able to just take the hotels cream coloured loungers on to the beach.After trying many places to eat in we found the best to be 'ethnics' where you have meat from the spit and great music and atmosphere...it was always full in here as well, which to me meant it must do good food and it did! also we tried the famous peters place as he kept on at us every time we walked past to come in and we felt guilty not to!!!!!!!!taxis are a set price of 6 euros to go to zante town or it takes about half an hour to walk. we tried nanas horse riding...it was a bit of a shock when she picked us up in her truck and we all had to pile in the back...but the kids enjoyed it. thought it was a waste of money though as we were walked up a long road, round and round and round and round(get the picture?) a field bit ,then back down the road again.

whatever you do ....DO NOT GET THE FERRY OVER TO THE MAINLAND FROM HERE.....there is nothing there and we wasted a day doing this and we couldn;t get back untill the next ferry which was 5 hours later. i think it was called kalini. absoloutly nothing there.overall we had a lovely holiday and i was glad it wasn't at the height of the season where it gets really busy with tourists. its worth doing a coach trip of the island as well as they take you into the mountain areas.
