Nice and quiet, busiest time was for breakfast and it wasn't exactly busy.
Pool was very quiet in the day if you wanted to just read a book and chill.
Towels changed everyday.

Myself and a friend went to film a documentary about rescue animals, so the joy I had when I arrived to see very friendly owned dogs and sweet stray cats roaming around near by! They were so friendly!
The little house we were in was lovely! The outdoor and indoor area was very clean! We had our own gate so felt secluded from the road, in our own little complex! The house is basic, but we had everything we needed! It is in such a wonderful area and close to everything you need! Host was lovely too!

Lovely room, bug free hot and cold water. The Air Con was lovely and cold. It was quiet at night and only a 5 minute walk if that to the beach. The owner was polite and has been supportive throughout the stay. He even let me pay once I turned up as there was a problem with the bank transfer. I will be recommending this to everyone back at home

The host was absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble. They even brought six packs of bottled water to studio to save us carrying it. Any concerns were dealt with immediately and the host was very pro-active 😊
The studio was very clean and housekeeping was fantastic 💖
The location was good. It was a fair walk to the resort centre but this gave the added bonus of a peaceful space.

I have been staying in Alykes for 35 years. It is a beautiful village with very friendly people, plenty of restaurants and bars without being overly noisy and a great base from which to explore the island.

The warmth of the Zakynthians.
The warmth of the Zakynthians. The food and the easy-going relaxed atmosphere. Take some time to talk to the waiting staff, as well as the owners of the establishments. You’ll learn so much and begin to feel the place.
If I had to mention any negatives it would have to be the tourists who expect too much, too quickly and are surly and rude to the hosts.
Try Anatolikos Apartments Bar. It’s Al fresco and totally peaceful. Olga, Tina, George, Yota and Adonis will make you feel right at home. Try No Name Bar or Hakuna Matata Bar or Paradisio or the Palm Tree. All are so welcoming and friendly. The Apoll Taverna is excellent and Jani, Angela, Haris, Kiki and all are too much fun. Our go to place. Fishalida is also excellent. Always recognised from previous years and always warmly welcomed. Your meal with the sea and views of Kefalonia are a must do. Whispers Bar for a drink and dance and grand traditional music playing, live. Nikos is a skilled host for whom nothing is too much trouble.

This village has grown considerably over the last 30 years.
This village has grown considerably over the last 30 years. To a purist this might not be the best thing but the people are every bit as friendly as ever. Plenty of restaurants and taverns. It’s up to the individual to find the attractions but they are all advertised and within easy reach.

Superb area.
Superb area. Not so pricey as laganas, quiter also, but many possibilities to eat and drink. We came here for the fifth time. We switched the alykes to agios sostis during this summer and are very disapointed. Maybe kalamaki could be better then alykes/alikanas, but we didnt stay in kalamaki so could not say (maybe next year). There are also some hilly climbings, you can do with a quad.

Quiet location.Ideal for a chill out holiday.
Quiet location.Ideal for a chill out holiday.
Plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from
.Our favourites were Spikey's Bar for drinks.
Piccadilly,Koukounari,Hotel Asteria and Al Fresco for food.
Alykes is quite small,only one long street,so quite easy to get around.
Car and four by fours are very popular and there are plenty of hire companies.Driving can be adrenalin inducing,as the drivers tend to ignore centre lines and the cars do not appear to be equipped with indicators.

Well located if you have a car, all places up north are at less than 30 minutes away. Zakinthos town is just a 15 minute drive away and the south an extra 15 min after Zakinthos.
It has a very holiday village feel to it, full of brits, Dutch, polish and the average visitors age must be around 50-60 yo. So there are lots of options but at the same time it’s pretty laid back and quiet.
We ate in taverna Astoria which was fantastic and cheap (40 euros for 2 with beers, starter and main). Also had a gyro at the main grill shop, can’t remember the name but you can’t miss it when you’re in town (15 euros for both for giant pita gyros and drinks).
On the main road there is also a guy selling boat tours, we took a 4 hour boat ride to the shipwreck beach, caves and 3 stops for swims in turquoise waters, it was the highlight of our stay and one of our best holiday memories. The boat was pretty small compared to other huge vessels with 200 tourists on it that we saw passing by, our one had around 30 people, the crew was very nice and this only cost us 25 euros per head. Need to book at least one day prior to the trip.
Stavros and his team were very helpful and friendly! If there was anything we needed, they were very hands-on and reliable.
The rooms were very clean and neatly arranged. Sheets and towels were changed on a regular basis.
The apartment is close to a grocery store and bakery as well as several bars and restaurants. You can reach the beach in less than 3 minutes on foot.
Breakfast and dinner were delicious and they offer a great variety of local and continental meals. The cocktails were also on point.
We had an absolutely lovely stay at Koukonaria hotel. Family room was spacious and can easily fit a family of 4. Very clean, modern, excellent amenities. Breakfast and dinner were varied and very good, food suited for the entire family. We really enjoyed dinner in the garden which has a little playground for the kids. Beach was 5 minutes walk. Quiet location but just a quick walk-away from restaurants/shops/beach. Strongly recommend.
An old restored property with a lot of history behind, enriched with modern facilities was the location where we spent a few peaceful days. The owners are very kind, they cook very delicious food. The rooms are large, nice bathroom. We had a wonderful sea view from the balcony. You can walk from here to the beach, but it is much easier if you have a car. We liked this special accommodation very much.
Friendly modern hotel
From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome. Our room was new and modern and the beds were very comfortable. We were close to some very good tavernas Horio in particular where we ate every night. The Nissos bar in the middle of the large pool was good and reasonably priced for lunches and snacks.
The house was really nice and spotless clean. It was great to find everything cleaned when getting back from the beach or from a trip.
Location was also great, 2min walk to Alykes beach, lots of taverns in walking distance and also a few shops in walking distance.
Hosts were also really helpful.
-the room had a good size and a dressing with hangers, very usefull
-the air conditioning was working fine
-big balcony with place for the beach towels to dry -clean towels provided daily
-cleaning was made daily in the room
-all the hotel employees are very nice, well prepared and helpful
Perfect location. The studios are situated very close to two villages, Alykes and Alykanas, in an area full of bars and taverns. The beach is a few minutes away. Friendly staff. AC in the rooms + a kitchenette with a fridge. Good quality for the money paid.
It was a great experience price-quality wise. Tranquil place with a beach and the sea at your feet. The staff is very polite and welcoming. There are just a few rooms in the guest house so you shouldn't be worried about the noise and area occupancy
I totally recommend this apartment. The location is perfect, 30 meters to the beach. There is a supermarket across the street and restaurants nearby. Very clean apartment, the hosts are very nice and helpful! We had a great time! Thank you!
The hotel itself and the room is also very modern, beautiful, well-equipped and the view is great (though not sea-view).
The pool is a great advantage, looks good (although the water is too cold in 1-4 October, so nobody went in.)
Lovely hosts. Great room, good value for money, very clean, beds comfy, everything you require for a self catering stay. Perfectly located in the centre of Alykes, close to the beach. I would definitely return.
I didn't have breakfast, but I enjoyed many dinners on the patio and would recommend to anyone the food and the convivial environment.
Almost every guest both dinner and hotel were repeat and extended stays.
The balcony with the beautifull view on the beach.
Alykes is one of the most beautifull beach on the island.
The hotel and studio are really perfect with the small garden and easy access to the sea.
Our host was very forthcoming and friendly, great service. The place is in a secluded side street up the hill, very private, but even on foot, still very close to everything Alykes has to offer.
Big spacious room with everything you require excellent aircon, big balcony with great view over all of Alykes and the sea. Pleasant garden, great host and excellent location.
A beach front property with a pool and well set back garden including BBQ setup. Host Dimitri, was always very friendly and available to accommodate with our requests.
Wonderful hosts.
Spotlessly clean.
Very comfortable and the best seaviews.
Right in the heart of Alykes but in a quiet peaceful location.
Would definitely book again.
