Alykes Tourist Train

(Excursions on Zante)

We have just got back from a week in Alaykanas and the highlight of our week was a trip on the little train. Brenda is an amazing and funny guide and Spiros is so cute! His passion for the island is infectious and seeing all his hard work in the museum was amazing and very humbling. If you are going to Zante you must go on this trip. It was 12.5 euros and worth every single penny ( euro ) You can book your tickets at Jammys in Alaykaynas but we also just turned up and managed to get on. Have fun!!

One of the best trips out I have ever had in Greece! The museum is fascinating ( and amazing when you think that Spiros has done it all himself, no sponsorship or government money). The countryside is so lovely, the little church at Pigadakia is interesting and the hospitality at Spiros taverna is overwhelming (you really do have to keep refusing more wine). Spiros himself is a truly kind man, as I found out when my camera ran out of film. "No problem", he said, and when we got to the church and taverna he put me into his own car and took me up to the supermarket in the middle of the village, waited while I bought a new film then took me back to the taverna. He wouldnt even take a couple of euros for the petrol. Thats the kind of thing that just doesnt happen in the UK.

By the way, you can buy your ticket at the train/excursion office opposite Montes supermarket in Alykes main street, and I think theres another one in Alykanas main street.

	Can U Help?
Thanks for your help Hayley. Do you happen to know if there is somewhere in Alykanas to book the trip as I am sure we booked it from there last time. If not, it is no big deal walking up to Alykes to book.
