Hi all,

I know you'll be stunned to read this but I'm probably not going to return to San Stef next year and try out somewhere new instead!  If I had lots of money I'd do two holidays and definitely return to San Stef, but as things are I want to carry on seeing more of Greece so San Stef will have to remain a wonderful memory for now!

I know this question isn't San Stef related but as there's lots of well travelled people on here I thought I'd ask anyway!  Has anyone ever been to Kalamaki in Zante?  I keep reading different descriptions and sometimes I think it sounds nice and others it sounds too busy and commercial so I don't know what to do!  It's next door to the party town of Laganas and I don't want an overflow of lager louts so if that's what it's about I'd rather go somewhere else!

Can anyone help?! 

Yammas :)

Hi Georgie ,
 Although I have been to many other places in Greece I must admit that I have never been to Zante .
One thing I know for sure , give it a year and you will be hot footing it back to Aghios Stefanos - that is what happened to me in the early 80's and now I cannot keep away ! I have been out in February right through to November and each month brings something different ! Good luck but like the man said ' you will be back '

Hi Georgie

We've been to Zante and really enjoyed it. Haven't stayed at Kalamaki but if you decide it isn't for you I'd recommend Alykanas as a good quiet resort with a nice beach.

  Hi Georgie. I have been to Zante but it was 1993, we stayed at Alykes which was a very quiet village with a very beautiful beach.Cant say how it is now.
We did a day trip over to Kefalonia, had dolfins riding the bough waves of the ship.

  Thassos is a very nice island also, there is no airport on the island, so you get the ferry over, a nice start to the holidays.

Hi Georgie
We've been to Zante several times, the last time in 2009.
Although have never stopped at Kalamaki it can get the overflow from Laganas which is often not great.
One of my daughters worked for the turtle protection charity Archelon and thet were based near Kalamki and said that there were often drunken party goers wandering up the beach from Laganas and could be a bit of a problem.
We've stopped in Tsilivi on 3 occasions which is quite a busy resort but nice enough, although recently it has become much busier and rowdier - one of the reasons we stopped going there.
Kefalonia is much quieter island, and if you want to be a bit more adventurous (ferries etc) try Thassos or Kalymnos
