Day trip to Kefalonia - (Excursions on Zante)
Siobhan Palmer (January 19, 2006)
From what I have read its best to book this trip through Pelargos Tours. Is it worth it though? My boyfriend really wants to see the caves you see... Is the ferry ride any fun or a nightmare? Also, do you know how much extra you have to pay for the caves etc? Thanks

Found it!

 
Had a couple of chinese dishes from here but one of them wasnt quite what we was expecting. The sweet and sour was delicious though. Food was nice enough however.

Just came back from Kalamaki and we both took £50 worth of Euros in change, and used the cash point there after that. No danager of loosing your money and if you use Nationwide you dont get charged!

Siobhan Palmer (June 03, 2005)

Booked to go horse riding through Smileys Tours in Kalamaki and loved it. A woman picked us up and took us to Tsvilli and we had an hour on the horses. We went through some orchards and up a big hill and got some lovely views. The horses were good natured and well looked after too. Excellent fun, although I think I sat on the horse wrongly as I felt sore for a couple of days afterwards.

 
Great relaxing way to spend your morning!

Zante Town - (Places to visit on Zante)
 Siobhan Palmer (June 03, 2005)

Went there via a public bus from Kalamaki - quick journey. It was nice to be out in the traditional town and away from the tourist bits. Climbed up a hill and got some great views. Had a look at the harbour and got more great pics. Once looked round the same old shops not much left to do however.

Keri Caves - (Places to visit on Zante)
Siobhan Palmer (June 03, 2005)

Went on a half day boat cruise round the caves and the sea was so calm. Went with Smileys Tours and our tour guide was great! Had a swim stop at the Caves, but as it was a bit cloudy the sea looked a little too cold for me. Great fun day out!

Maryland Reptile House - (Places to visit on Zante)
Siobhan Palmer (June 03, 2005)

Went to the reptile house and loved it. The woman knew her stuff and was so friendly. Wasnt able to hold the spider though due to its hairs, but held plenty of snakes and lizards, even a large iguana! Got some great pics! Thank you!

Such a great and lively place! The bar staff are crazy!! They have theme nights too and they all dress up. One even breaths fire if you ask him nicely! Had too many sambucas one night though - they fill your glass up very generously you could say   Huge cocktail menu too! Great place!

Such a lovely place!

 
Came here on our first night and tried swordfish. We could hear a live greek night and their music just down the road - created a lovely atmosphere and couldnt wish our first meal in Zante to be any better!
 
They have excellent 2 course meals on a specials board everyday - so tasty and great price!
 
One night they were fully booked but they gave us free wine the next time we visited to compensate. Excellent service!

We came here for breakfast 3 times, it was that lovely. The morning waiter was so friendly and helpful - there were certain things we didnt like in the breakfast so he omitted them and gave us extra other tasty things.   Nice relaxed environment too. Loved the cooked English breakfast. Didnt have time to come here for an evening meal unfortunately.

Tasty mousaka! Lovely cheap house wine too. The service was excellent - the waiters knew when to talk to you and when to leave you alone, and cheekily kept filling our glasses with wine. Excellent!

Caretta Beach Aparthotel - (Hotels in Kalamaki)
Location : Excellent
Quietness : Good
Cleanliness : Excellent
Siobhan Palmer (June 03, 2005)

Stayed here last week - lovely place. We stayed in a self catering room for 2. Quite basic but more than adequate for us two. Didnt really do any cooking as food and drink so cheap!

 
The cleaning lady was lovely too, and came in everyday to change bins, make beds, sweep up etc. Great job! Changed bedding and towels more frequently than expected too.
 
Lovely resort - 2 large pools, 2 poolside snackbars. Great supermarket on site which was handy.
 
Its off a lovely quiet road so you are off the main noisy drag, but it is only a short walking distance to the main road. Perfect location.
 
Would like to go back next year!

Such a lovely place with great views over Kalamaki. Worth a visit in the day, but also at night to get the best views. Lovely cocktail menu too. The buggy ride up to it was great fun too!

Maryland Reptile House - (Places to visit on Zante)
 Siobhan Palmer (May 04, 2005)

I really fancy the idea of visiting the reptile house which will be in 3 weeks time. Will it be open then and is it easy to find within Laganus?

So would the general advice be then to take stirling traveller cheques, or cash and stay clear of euro travveler cheques. Do you loose out a lot by using the cash machines there? Going in 3 weeks you see for the first time and starting to get stressed over the money situation!
