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...
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.
The view of the sunset and the beach is promising and outstanding. The place is perfect and the atmosphere is very cozy and homey. The place is a super spot and by car you can visit every place of Zakynthos within 25-50 minute. If you walk 10 minutes you will find restaurants and supermarkets. The appartments are very beautiful, clean and have everything you need. The host was very kind and and helpful. It was one of the best experiences. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend this place.
A lovely warm welcome, an outstanding view, beautiful first impression of a lovely villa that got better and better as our holiday progressed. In a quiet location about 1km north of Alykes, we had peace and beauty with the pick of the many Tavernas in Alykes at our feet. All facilities were modern and worked perfectly. Soula's beach bar minutes away was an unexpected bonus. All together we had a great holiday, one of, if not the best.
We stayed at the bungalows and we really loved the location, the size of the rooms, the cleanliness. Furthermore the hospitality from Irini and her parents were great and made us feel at home. The sheets and towels were changed every two days and the villa was sparklingly clean.
It is also a great starting point for trips around the island - everything is within 30-40 minutes ride, also the local beach is perfect for kids!
I have been to Zakynthos many times and never was as impressive as this one. With an unrivaled private beach, the ultimate in secluded personal space, this villa is definitely anyone's first choice. Most importantly, I was touched by the politeness, warmth and care of the hosts. She actively helped us connect with hospitals and pharmacies when we were having trouble late at night. Definitely I will be back again!
I am a budget traveler and don’t have super high expectations or needs but do need clean towels and AC. Stayed 5 days and they only cleaned the room once. No air conditioning in one of the bedrooms ( we had two bedroom apt) and daily temperature was 99 or 100 each day. Had to ask for toilet paper and clean towels and could only exchange towels every other day. Positive was it was 5 minutes walk to beach.
Apartments are in the best location, close to the beach and shops and restaurant. It is very clean accommodation and Marina is so nice host! The beach is beautiful with the warmest and the clearest water, where you can spend all days. If you come to Zakynthos for the nature and beach, this apartments is definitely one of the best in this area for its price and location. Highly recommended!
Lovely Breakfast, all staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Clean relatively modern, door on shower, The restaurant is open to the public on an evening and the food is excellent. The views from your balcony are stunning, hence the name. I shall definitely stay there again. Ideal location, not far to walk to anywhere in Alykes from there.
Staff was helpful and always trying to accommodate our requests, the place was clean and the location is fantastic, just 1 block away from the beach. The apartment had everything you could need and there were a few complementary things like water, toasts, coffee, and some spreads. Plenty of parking in the back of the property. Would certainly be back.
Excellent service, a very familiar hotel with all the comforts they need, it has a lot of space, clean, with incredible views, perfect for relaxing, it is a hotel that makes you feel at home, also the breakfast jam is made by themselves and it is really good . Thanks to Dimitri for all the service and kindness
The breakfast was good and plenty, with new options every day. The staff was also very helpful anytime we were at the restaurant. The hotel was close to all amenities, including nice taverns, lounges and the beach. The bed was very comfortable and the room clean. The pool was also nice and clean.
Second time at this hotel, it’s run by a lovely welcoming family. Self catering apartments with the most amazing views. No pool but there is one 2 mins away and the food there is great.
There’s a lovely garden to lie in and steps straight into the sea.
It’s absolutely perfect ❤️
Lovely location, just a short walk into the centre of Alykes.
A great sized pool, friendly and very helpful manager. Rooms clean and comfortable.
Best part was the pool bar with a great selection of drinks, cocktails and food, all served by the most lovely and friendly couple.
Everything was even better than in the photos, very close to the sea and the beach, the beach is clean, great view and excellent service.
The kitchen has all the necessary kitchen utensils for cooking, and there are excellent cafes with live music near the hotel.
The room was basic but clean and good-sized. The location is just awesome. The beach can be accessed from the room easily. The staffs were really helpful and friendly. The hotel is literally on the beach. Everything is available within a few minutes' walk.
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!
Lovely, clean, spacious room. Nice surroundings with pine trees and view over pool to the mountains. Pool was large and lovely. Staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. Breakfast and lunch in pool bar were really good.
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.
