  • In the 9th episode, we take you around some of the best restaurants in Kalamaki, Zante.
    We take a look at some of the main restaurants on Kalamaki's main strip, many of which were in Tripadvisors top 5 at the time of filming.
    Sit back and enjoy the Kalamaki nightlife dining experience with us as we show you the menu's of the restaurants we visited, as well as a break down of the costs of each.
    We give you our honest opinion and review of each and share with you the dishes that we ordered.
    The ratings on these are completely subjective and are our opinions so we understand not everyone will have the same opinion as us. Obviously we were only there for 10 days so only got to a limited number. However, these are the 5 we liked the most.

      Kalamaki is probably perfect for a first visit. There's plenty to ifnlife there but it's not like Magaluf at all, just a nice level. Magaluf style would be Laganas which is about 3 miles away. Kalamaki probably more for couples and families. Just a nice atmosphere. Some fantastic restaurants.

    Brilliant videos and loads of information. I intend to visit shipwreck beach, so can I drive there and walk down or is access only via boat? My tourist provider advised me to use cash card when paying (its like your bank card) but do they prefer cash? Holiday cant come quick enough having seen these vids. Downside, I'm going solo.

    • @continentalcoxons
      @continentalcoxons  Рік тому

      Thank you, pleased you are enjoying them and helping you out. You can only access the actual beach itself by boat. We actually preferred seeing it from the cliff to be honest, looked spectacular from up above.
      We use a Revolut card which is great, can top it up through the app and just about everywhere accepts them. Think everywhere we went we used our card without problems. If you need any you can always draw some out from the card. The Greeks are always really welcoming so you won't ever feel alone.
