Hi Georgie
I have spent 2 holidays in Kalamaki and found it to be a excellent resort.It is nothing like Laganas and is a relaxing resort with a nice beach.The beach is the breeding place of the protected loggerhead turtles,I have enclosed a link to an interactive map.If you click on the balloons you will be able to select a street view of the area and take a virtual walk around the resort.

I stayed at the Venus Hotel during my visits and found it excellent.Today it is rated no 1 of 40 hotels in the resort.Link enclosed.

Kalamaki & Laganas are at opposite ends of a 4km stetch of beach which makes a nice walk.
I have just read Robs posting and I can only say that during our last visit which was 3 year ago we never saw any drunken party goers. I fully understand that things can change dramatically over a 3 year period and Kalamaki may no longer be the resort I remember.

Hi Georgie, Thassos gets my vote too and the ferry over to Thassos from keramoti port is a wonderful start to your holiday, I think though that only Thomsons fly into Kavala airport although I have to say the short [ 8 mins] coach to ferry port then 35 mins on ferry which has a bar serving drinks and snacks then a coach waiting to take you to resort once off the ferry is  very well executed by Thomsons, no hassle at all plus the seagulls follow the ferry over to Thassos and if you are lucky then you will get to see the dolphins.

We stayed at ' Golden beach' in Panagia which is a  lovely resort, amazing sandy beach, with lots of friendly taverna's serving lovely food in a chilled out place. Thassos is only 90 kilometres all round with very good roads, you can hire a car or motorbike to visit some of the other stunning beaches such as Paradise beach or Marble beach, Thassos town is worth a visit too. The old quaint village of Panagia just above Golden beach resort is worthy of a visit, a lovely old village, you can either walk or catch the frequent bus service, only takes around 15 minutes by bus and there are some lovely local shops there too.

Having said that SS is the only place that we have ever been  drawn back too, can't explain it but just love it, next year will be our 3rd visit to SS having previously stayed at nearby Agios Georgios North until we discovered SS.

Good luck with your plans.

Georgie,

Our other favourite Greek places are Skiathos town, on the island of Skiathos obviously and Stoupa which is a lovely quiet resort in the Peloponese area.  Skiathos town is very cosmopolitan with plenty of bars and tavernas but also relaxing.  The dowside being the prices to go there are a little more expensive due to that Mama Mia film.  Stoupa is a total chill out where you can actually here a pin drop on the beach.  I'm sorry but we have not been to Zante.

My vote would go to Skala in Kefalonia. Very similar resort in size, no loud bars, mainly tavernas.

Hotel wise I would book the 9 Muses always as it's got a great beachfront location. It's not the cheapest though. Read the reviews they speak for themselves. Lots of return visitors year on year

Check out the travellers photos

You can immerse yourself in the whole Captain Correlli thing and both the tour operator and the independant guys run superb trips. A trip to savour would be the island tour which takes in Assos, Fiskardo and the caves....stunning. There's also boat trips to Ithaca which is meant to be where Homer set the Odysssey.
A really quiet resort where you will enjoy total chillax.

Hi Georgie, we have been four times to Zakynthos but never stayed in Kalamaki.
We have been through it and it looked very busy.
We used to stay in the Ionian beach area of Vasilikos, (the village was known locally as Potamia)
We loved it there but used to go with Direct Greece, which is no more.It was taken over by Direct Holidays for a while
and then they just kept a few of the properties.
I didn't like Kalamaki at first glance but sometimes you need to make your own conclusions on a place.
You would love the quieter areas.It is very pretty like Corfu and I'm sure you'd love it, although we have been to several islands
and have never found one quite as friendly as Corfu.
