June - (Best Time to Visit)

Chez            

Im about to fly in 12 hrs to zante for my third year in a row! Im staying in Kalamaki with my dad and was just wonering what the nightlife is like? I stayed in Lagana the previous times and really liked the nightlife but i suspect it wont be my dads cup of tea! Any info would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

Golden Sun Hotel - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Chez W           

The hotel refused to put the air conditioning on even though temperatures were hitting 42C. Why you ask?...well it is hotel policy that air conditioning be turned on in July and August something that is not mentioned in brochures or on there website!!! Beware. The receptionists were extremely unhelpful on this matter. TV and fridges are only available in july and august too so lets hope holiday makers visiting out of these months do not experience a heatwave like we just have!They do however switch it on when people are by the pool and there cleaners are in the rooms!!!...so hotel policy is geared towards the staff and not the comfort of the customer!

Directly under flightpath!We expected noise with flights but when it is cooler to sleep on the balcony because the a/c is not on you will have no sleep!!! Very noisy and uncomfortable!!

Bar expensive in comparison to Kalamaki! 2.60 euro for a 33cl bottle of beer when you can get 0.5l bottle in Kalamaki for 2 euro! Christos is lovely bloke (barman) initially but did become sleazy and quite dirty at times BEWARE!

And for those of you visiting asking about cooking facilities there are non!

The hotel itself is clean and the pool is great! Will be very comfortable in July and August for all of you lucky people with a/c!! im not bitter you understand but when you pay £700 for a 14nite hol u have a right to complain!

Down Under bar a MUST!!!!2 cocktails for 5 euro!Pandesia is the best restaurant on the island to eat at and Don Amici do the best pizza i have ever tasted. They fly in ingrediants to make the pizza bases from Italy....mmmmm
