Zante or Kefalonia? Have you been?

I've been to Tsilivi in Zakynthos which in itself was lovely; unfortunately the apartments we stayed felt the need to have music thumping out from about 9am - 4am ish by the pool, which wasn't what we went for :mad: Am trying Alikes in a couple for weeks, I want to relax so I hope this is the place! I personally would avoid Laganas like the plague.

Kefalonia is lovely, we went there many years ago before it was as popular as it is now and we'd definitely go back.

Been to Troulos in Skiathos twice in the last few years and we loved that too.

I would just say that my idea of a wonderful holiday is peace and quiet, a few tavernas and little to no nightlife, which I'm sure would be many people's equivalent of pure and tortuous hell

If you follow the others' advice on here and check out all the review sites you should find somewhere perfect for you with a bit of in-depth research Have a great trip!

My 17-year old twin sons (and 8 of their friends) have just got back from Laganas a couple of hours ago. From the stories they have been telling us they have had a brilliant time!!! Need I say any more if you are not in this age range!

We went to Kefalonia, stayed in Skala. Really nice little place - 5 mins walk to the beach and main street, lots of restaurants and a few bars, but not really much nightlife. We took a tour out on a boat to other beaches and an underground lake, and did lots of snorkelling by ourselves. You can day trip to Argostoli to shop too and get to Poros, a little harbour with a shingle beach, really easily. Got a little bit caught up in both a bar fight and a forest fire though.
My friends went to Laganas in Zante too, and basically spent the week drinking and clubbing.

I love Kefalonia, its much quieter but is a stunning place - unspoiled and has the most amazing beaches! We're going back in the summer, Kefalonia is a website with info I found quite useful.

Hope you have a happy holiday!

We go to Kalamaki in Zante every year. It's next to the airport. Nice beach and nice resort. It's mainly geared towards couples and families, it's fairly quiet, but plenty of bars and restaurants.

Why not, it isn't just the OP that looks at these posts and it is the time of year that peeps are looking at holidays, that's why I looked
