EASYJET FLIGHTS TO ZAKYNTHOS

Well it seems that we may be closer to getting what we are all waiting for.........EasyJet flights to Zakynthos. The officials had a meeting last night and have agreed terms for 3 flights per week to Zante from London starting in April through to October. This means tourist will have the chance to visit the island at Easter as well as the usual summer months. Although the contract has not been completed as yet it seems that this will just be a formality so keep checking back for the latest updates.

Slowing down for the Winter

Things have slowed down now in Alykes with most places now closed up for the winter months! It is probably easier for me to list the places still open than those closed!! So still open is Relax, Onar, Olympic, Ponderosa, Spikeys Place and i am pretty sure that is it!!! In Alykanas still a few places open restaurant wise and I know that Alykanas Beach Village still has tourists up until the end of October.
Other than that very very quiet everywhere!

ANOTHER WEBCAM

We have added another webcam at the pentokamaro (alykes) bridge
