FANTASTIC HOLIDAY
My husband and I together with my sister have just returned from a fantastic holiday at Archontiko Village, and we plan to visit again next year. My husband and myself stayed in the Archontiko Villas and my sister stayed at Archontiko Maisonettes. This location is paradise for a relaxing break in truly beautiful surroundings with wonderful views. Mary\\\'s \\\"specials\\\" which she produced some evenings, are delicious, the vegetables coming from her own garden. The maisonettes and villas are kept spotlessly clean and the Greek family who own the holiday lets could not be more helpful and friendly. Although some of the other visitors hired cars, as this complex at Katastari is located high above Alykes, it was possible to walk down the steep hillside into Alykes and back, especially as we wore proper walking sandals. MOSTof the way is lit if walking back in the evening - a torch would be useful for a small stretch of the road. There was a small shop directly opposite for basics, but a more well stocked \\\"supermarket\\\" 50m to the right, along the top road selling delicious home-baked bread and fresh fruit and veg etc. The nearest chemist (who spoke very good English) is located 800m to the left, along the top road. The bus to Zante town stops directly outside this complex, just wait at the (directly opposite) small \\\"supermarket\\\", and flag it down. This place is even better than the photographs on the website!
