My friend Lin and I have just got back from a week at the Pothos apartments in Alykes. A small quiet complex, basic but very clean. We had a balcony looking on to farmland. The satff were very helpful and friendly, as were the reps from Thomas Cook. A short walk to a lovely sandy beach, shops and resturants etc. Well worth considering if you want a lazy holiday in the sun! Maggy and Lin, Herts 14.06.2011
Went to Pothos in September 2010
Booked 3 weeks to pothos as we had never been to Zante before. Read some reviews but its always better to make your own mind up. The rooms are basic but what else do you expect from Greek Island apartments. Helen, Dimitris, Dennis and everybody couldn't have been more helpful and any little problems were sorted immediately. Almost everybody staying there had been before so it was like belonging to a rather large family, so much so that we have already booked to go back in May. The pool bar food is great value especially the breakfasts !! The apartments were cleaned regularly and the sheets and towels were changed often too. Helen and Dimitris work so hard to make sure everyone has a good time and we certainly did. Highly recommended.
Just got back from a very relaxing week at the Pothos all had a great time. Just right for getting away from it all. Lovely rural location with stunning views all round. But also within a 5-10 min walk from plenty of great bars restaurants, and nice beaches. All at the pothos were very hospitable and every thing was spotless. The pool and bar had every thing that you need for a great holiday plenty of sunbeds, drinks and food all at very competitive prices.
my husband myself and 2 friends returned from the Pothos on 13th August after a wonderful weeks holiday.
yes the apartments are basic but that is Greece, this is our 3rd holiday in Alykes the first staying at the Pothos but it wont be our last, everybody was so helpful and the resort of Alykes is wonderful.
We always say we will try somewhere different next year but keep being drawn backxx
Hi there me and my family stopped at the pothos for a lovley 2weeks. Just want to thank everyone at the pothos for such a lovley stay. Had such a perfect time nothing was too much trouble and the appartments were 100% perfcet . We all shall be back next year with out even looking else where . If you have never stayed at the pothos before you must really stay there i give it a big 10/10
Would anyone have a telephone number for the Pothos...we have possiblility of a very short notice vacation in a day or two and having stayed there before would like to see if the Pothos have any vacancies. Would email normally but time is very much of the essence as we will have to book somewhere else if we cant get in contact.
Just returned from a fantastic week at the Pothos. We all had such a great time, owners Helen, Dimitri and baby George all so welcoming and friendly and very helpful when recommending places to eat and visit. Rooms very simply furnished, but very comfortable and private, with lovely balcony with sea and mountain views. Lovely warm pool and all super clean. They all work very hard and Rena does the best pizza and Spaghetti Bolognese on the island. We will be back!!! Thank you all again. Highly recommended.****
