Zante is a very beautiful island. When I went we stayed at the resort of Alikanas at Dannys hotel (near kali pigi).
I regard this to be one of my most enjoyable holidays! The local people were very friendly, and the food was inexpensive.
One location I would strongly reccommend going, would be 'Shipwreck Beach' (as featured in the photo) The photo does not exaggerate what it is like on this beach. In fact it is understated!! however, if you go there be sure to take some sandals that you can wear in the sea, because although it looks like a soft white sandy beach it is very pebbley on hurts your feet. We went on a coach trip around the cliffs, which take you round the top of shipwreck beach for great scenic views. we also took a boat trip to the beach itself!
The restaurants here are fairly inexpensive, and the staff are very welcoming. When I went we stayed at Dannys hotel, which was excellent. Complete with swimming pool, garden, bar, quiz nights and a small supermarket.
A great way to travel while your here is the local horse carriages, which act like taxis with a small fare.
Another great place to travel is the blue caves. You can easily book a boat trip in the town to visit these caves, and they are very beautiful!
But I gurantee you will love this island!!!!!

Hiya,
It sounds like you really enjoyed yourself in Zante, I went a while back and thought it was great too. You're off to a good start on the review, but I'd maybe expand it a little, which will get you a better rating. Maybe include som restaurant/hotel/bar recommendations, travel, nightlife, some more sights etc. I think it would be a blinder then, because you've got the passion to write the review. I'd be happy to come back and re-review. Hope this helps. Take care x
