Alykes is an absolute gem of a place. Beautiful beaches. Very friendly locals. Love the mode of transport in the evening. Plenty of restaurants and food is delicious. It has enough to keep everyone happy. Not over commercialised. and not too busy. Just nice. We went early June. Temperature perfect. Fishandia and paradosiako restaurants are well worth a visit. Hakuna matata is just down from Golden Dolphin apartments is great for a spot of lunch. Plenty to choose from and lovely staff.

I have been staying in Alykes for 35 years. It is a beautiful village with very friendly people, plenty of restaurants and bars without being overly noisy and a great base from which to explore the island.

The warmth of the Zakynthians. The food and the easy-going relaxed atmosphere. Take some time to talk to the waiting staff, as well as the owners of the establishments. You’ll learn so much and begin to feel the place. If I had to mention any negatives it would have to be the tourists who expect too much, too quickly and are surly and rude to the hosts. Try Anatolikos Apartments Bar. It’s Al fresco and totally peaceful. Olga, Tina, George, Yota and Adonis will make you feel right at home. Try No Name Bar or Hakuna Matata Bar or Paradisio or the Palm Tree. All are so welcoming and friendly. The Apoll Taverna is excellent and Jani, Angela, Haris, Kiki and all are too much fun. Our go to place. Fishalida is also excellent. Always recognised from previous years and always warmly welcomed. Your meal with the sea and views of Kefalonia are a must do. Whispers Bar for a drink and dance and grand traditional music playing, live. Nikos is a skilled host for whom nothing is too much trouble.

This village has grown considerably over the last 30 years. To a purist this might not be the best thing but the people are every bit as friendly as ever. Plenty of restaurants and taverns. It’s up to the individual to find the attractions but they are all advertised and within easy reach.

Superb area. Not so pricey as laganas, quiter also, but many possibilities to eat and drink. We came here for the fifth time. We switched the alykes to agios sostis during this summer and are very disapointed. Maybe kalamaki could be better then alykes/alikanas, but we didnt stay in kalamaki so could not say (maybe next year). There are also some hilly climbings, you can do with a quad.
