Hello :) We're aged 14 and 16 and went to Zante for one week with our parents in August 2009. It was our favourite holiday. The airport is very tiny, so as soon as we landed we went and collected our baggage straight away with no problems, then we were met by our Thomas Cook rep. The coach took us to Nikos. We were greeted by Nikos' son called Theo who made us feel very welcome and showed us to our room :) The weather was beautiful - 30 degrees at 10pm!! The rooms were very clean and the lovely maid came in everyday and even folded up our clothes for us (sorry about that!). We also hired a little suski jeep to take us around the island which was very nice, but speak to Nikos first because he will recommend good places! In the evenings, we would walk into Alykes and go for a meal then come back to the bar. Nikos and Theo are very intresting to speak to and showed us photo's of their life, also Nikos showed us some pretty good paper tricks to show to our friends back home!! We found the pool to be very clean and the food at the bar was lovely and very reasonabally priced. Also there is a snooker table which we often used!! The island itself is beautiful which we loved to visit again especially Nikos and Theo (and ofcourse the rest of the family... Grandad Nikos is great!). However, the only downfall about our holiday is that we were told the wrong time to go and see the famous "Shipwreck" which meant that we missed our bus (this was nothing to do with Nikos). It was on our last day so didn't see it! Anyway, WE LOVE ZANTE AND WE LOVE NIKOS!! For a traditional summer holiday with a very relaxed and laid back atmosphere you should visit this island! We will deffonately go back if we had the chance.

Nikos apartments = I went with my boyfriend (17) and my grandmother (dont be nosey about her age :P)and we all thought it was fandabbydosey The room was basic, but for the price I wasn't expecting much. Air conditioning probably advised as it gets quite warm in the night. The cleaner was brilliant as we left a mess almost everyday.. not intentionally. And she washed the dishes we left after breakfast. Brilliant Food great value for money at the bar on site, beach isn't too far away and neither are the bars and tavernas. Alykes has a very friendly and warm atmosphere with no fear of any danger or anything About a fifteen minute walk from Alikanas.. or get a Yiannis horse and cart, always great fun. A great place and a great holiday, much advised for somewhere cheap and cheerful ! Couldnt ask for a better place x

Lived at the nikos apts since the 1st of october for a week It was dirty and smelly, crockery and cutlery had to be sterilised before we could use them, sheets and towels were only changed after we went and asked. Toilet and shower were a disgrace my dog has better hygiene than the people at the nikos. Maybe the nikos was a good place a few years ago but it has certainly slipped to the bottom of the ladder, My Thomas Cook rep Amanda didn't want to know when I mentioned my problem, she said that the Apartments were up to standard.If that is Thomas Cook standards then I certainly won't be using them again. All she wanted to do was party.I know this comment won't change anything but it might help somebody else from making the same mistake as we did. Zante is a lovely island full of warm'th and lovely history and friendly people. So come on Thomas Cook raise your standards a bit and maybe we will get value for our money. Will be back to zante but not with Thomas Cook or at the nikos.

having worked in alykes in 2003 i have stayed at most apartments in the area, decided to stay at nikos this year as knew is was off the beaten track and have no problem with the walk from the centre of alykes or the beach.

we stayed in the annex and not the main block, on the third floor,

on arrival we had to take our own luggage from the main building, and as we were staying for over 3 weeks had quite a lot, asked about air conditioning and was told we'd have to walk back to main building to pay for it, girl on arrival very lazy and not helpfull, the cleaner mopped inadequately each day and we arrived to a full bin in the bathroom, with other peoples paper in, and a blocked floor drain, when every time you put the bathroom tap on flooded, from main drain in bathroom floor, as i speak a little greek i informed reception and nothing was ever done!

the veiws from the apartments in the annex, are outstanding but rooms are basic even for greek standards,

all in all your holiday does not consist of 24 hrs in yr accomodation, but it certainly helps towards the enjoyment of it, so if you want the peace and tranquility these are ideal but if you want at least a basic hygene standard give them a miss,

i have been going to alykes 13 years but wont be staying at nikos again unless it gets an overhaul.

Just spent another fantastic 2 weeks(12-26 July)at the Nikos. This was my 3rd visit and it will not be my last,these are great apartments for people who are not expecting 5 star luxury. These are fairly small but are adequate enough for what you need on holiday. The family are all very helpful and will do anything to help you if they can.

Met some really nice people at these apartments,all out to enjoy themselves.
