White House Apartments

If you want to see where it is, then take a look at this link:  http://www.justzante.co.uk/zante/kalamakimap.htm

Hi just got back from the White House Apartments they are basic but perfectly fine. They have a small kitchen, some cooking rings, fridge, toaster and kettle. The maid is really nice she will help you if you need anything. In Kalamaki there are some really nice restaurants i would recommend Mermaids they give nice big portions and are really cheap bout 7-10euros per meal also if you fancy a sunday dinner while you are away go to Deppys it is a must it was really nice and the lady who owns it is really nice and friendly.

  The apartments are in a great location, very close to shops and all the bars and restaurants.  The beach is about ten to fifteen minutes walk away.  Lots of pools close by which you are welcome to use. The two brothers pool is directly across the road. You cannot bring your own food, drinks to the various pools but there are bars at every pool for you to buy drinks if you need to. The apartments are very clean and the maid cleans every day and supplies toilet roll, changes the bed linen.  The apartments are very basic, in fact the most basic appartment I have ever stayed in.  It is only one room, with two single beds and they squeeze a folding bed in if there are 3 of you.  If you are thinking of cooking a decent meal forget it.  There are two electric rings attached directly next to the sink.  No oven, toaster, microwave.There is not even a worktop to put your plate on if you do attempt to cook which I did.  They give you 1 pot, 1 frying pan and a couple of utensils.  No ironing facilities or washing facilities either.  The room is boiling hot and it is very difficult to sleep.  The owner knocks on your door at 8 in the morning after arrival and asks for the money for the fan and safe.  28 Euros for the fan for 2 weeks and 20 Euros for the safe for 2 weeks. Could be the other way around. There is a small balcony also.  There were ants in the room but not surprising as there is a slight gap under the door. If you just want somewhere to sleep and change then apartment will be fine for you.  I would not advise you to bring kids there as there is no where for them to stretch out.  No tv or not even a basic radio. It is rather cramped. There is no shower curtain (unbelievable as it is now 2007).  The showers are basic and pot luck as to whether you get hot water or any water at all.  The floor is always soaking after a shower .  No bath mat provided. There is a church close by and you can hear the service going on quite often.

We stayed there last year (sept) and we have booked there again this year (july 5th), the apartments were good! good location and the staff were very friendly! bring on the 5th!!!! no cockrells in sight or any noticalbe farm yard animal noises to be heard when we were there!

Not an ideal "holiday" location - wouldn't have been so bad had we actually asked to stay on a farm - cockerels crowing (any time), dogs barking (any time), shooting (any time that wasn't dark), so suggest some earplugs!  If you want the beach, you're in for a 20 minute walk from here.  No air conditioning, so it was very hot on the top floor in Aug/Sept (but fans available at extra cost).  We just tried to prop front and back doors open to get through-draft when we were in.  Basic but clean with regular towel/sheet changes

ALTHOUGH THESE APARTMENTS ARE NOT THE BEST IVE STAYED IN GOT TO SAY HAD SUCH A LAUGH AND MET SOME REALLY NICE PEOPLE.THEY ARE BASIC BUT CLEAN AND THEY ARE RATHER CLOSE TO THE CHURCH AND THE MAD BELL RINGING VICAR,BUT THE PASSING TRADE OF VEICHALS WAS A CONSTANT TALKING POINT FOR EVERYONE.EVERYTHING FROM A VAN WITH SHEEP TO A CEMENT CARRIER.IT DIDNT SPOIL ANYTHING ABOUT THE HOLIDAY AND WOULD DEFFINATLY GO BACK TO ZANTE NEVER BEEN TO SUCH A WARM WELCOMING PLACE.JOYCE ,CAMARON,BRIAN,ANNE AND ELLIE THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS .MAYBE SEE YOU BACK THERE ONE MAY?
