Not until 28th July but I start getting excited a couple of months before and start preparing, making lists, shopping etc.

Sounds like you'll need this holiday
And reading other threads here @ H-T you're not alone..

i seem to leave everything to the last minute right down to booking the holiday.. ..

Hi

Did anyone make a trip to Kefalonia whilst in Alykanas? Was it an organised trip and is it worth going there?

Thanks

Rita

Hi rmiceli,
We went to Kefalonia in May, what we did was well worth going for but ideally you really need at least two days over there, better still, have a holiday over there. Their Bus Service is far superior to that of Zante. We did the Monastery, Drogratti Caves and the underground lake. We then went to a village on the coast for lunch, after this we went up the coast a little more and did a photo stop of a beach. Keep your camera handy as a couple of minutes up the road, you will see a rock face in front of you. When we went by, it was covered in Goats so make sure you are sitting on left side of coach. After this we headed for the Capital which i think is Argostoli, we were dropped outside a VERY expensive icecream parlour. Take a walk back along the seafront towards the main town and you will get icecream a lot cheaper. If you decide to go, make sure you take a camera. This trip is governed by the Ferry and the roads on Kefalonia are very twisty. Have you thought about doing the two day trip to Athens?? If so, do it on the friday/saturday through Dionisos Tours/TEZ, Costas will be your Guide, he is the Bees Knees. Should you decide to do this, then go with him to the Greek Night, excellent value. 26 Euros each gets you a Bottle of wine and a four course meal, male and female singers, a Band, a Bellydancer and a Professional Troupe of 6 Dancers who perform Dances from different parts of Greece in the Traditional Costume of the area.

Hi

Anyone back from Alikanas recently to give a report? 4 days and counting!

Can anyone give me any information about Alikanas?
Me and my boyf are going to book our holiday here for next year on the weekend and just wondered if anyone can tell me anything about this place?

http://www.alykes.com should tell you all you want to know.

Emilysnana- thanks!

Has anyone been there that can give me their views on the place?

We go there every year (at least, to the neighbouring village) - in fact we are off again in a couple of weeks time. Read all the reports on the message boards on the site and they should tell you everything about the place.

Lovely beach!

Lovely beach!

Are we talking about Alikanas in Zakynthos, obvioulsy not!

Go to resort reports, I have got a piece under Alikanas plus there are some more under Alykanas spelling.

We have just returned from Alikanas and really liked it. The 2 towns of Alikanas and Alikes have merged into one so there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. The bay is beautiful and the sea was shallow and warm for quite a way out. However, the beach itself was like an ashtray! That was probably the only disappointment though.

is there only one beach between alikanas/alykes?
where did u stay in alikanas?
I am considering going there next summer, hopefully booking soon!

It`s one long beach all around the bay. It used to be beautiful, it`s a shame if inconsiderate people HAVE turned it into an "ashtray". We used to walk from Alikes, where we were staying, round to Alikanes, just walking in the shallow edge of the sea, lie on the beach for a while, then walk back, it`s a lovely bay, and you meet lovely people when you bump into the older locals.
