Zako Apartments Reviews

Zako apartments are a great base to stay at during a holiday to Thassos. The whole family is absolutely fantastic. Paniota, mama works non stop to make delicious food and make you comfortable as well as cleaning and keeping the grounds ship shape. Costas, papa cooks a fab BBQ on monday night, which just keeps coming and then plays the bazouki. It's a great night lots of food, drink and party games! George is the person to see if you want a bike to get round the island, which is a must as there are beautiful coastal areas and mountain villages full of character. Themis is an absolute star and good friend while we were there. Doesn't usually see the mornings but when he arrives at the bar the mythos just keeps on flowing! You can be assured of a brilliant holiday if you decide to stay at Zako.

excellent holiday! loved everyday ! themis and his family are sooooooooooo lovely ! wish i where there now ! I miss you themis moro mor xxxxx

We have just come back from two weeks stay at the Zako Apartments in Limenaria and we have had a wonderful time! Firstly I have to say the apartments were basic in furnishings but that did not matter one bit! They are run by a lovely family Mama, Papa, Themis and George and they could not do enough for us to make our stay their comfortable, relaxing and memorable. Although the rooms were basic they were spotlessly clean and towels and sheets changed every 2/3 days (sheets were ironed) and the rooms cleaned every day. There was a fantastic pool and childrens pool which again was spotlessly clean.

Mama works hard all day and although does not speak a word of english she smiles at everyone and trys hard to understand you. Themis was just fantastic! His english is excellent and he loves to chat while he is busy in the bar. He will even ask if you need anything in the village when he scoots off on his scooter to get the shopping for mama.

Monday night BBQ night - not too be missed! It is only a small apartment block (8 rooms) and we all were there. Papa cooked some wonderful food - and then cooked some more - and more and more!!!! Mama baked cakes and prepared salad and the best cheeps in thassos (home made not oven stuff).

Limenaria was a good village, although nearly a town. We never had a bad meal while we were there. The beach by the village in very clean but we also used Trypiti beach which was a 5 minute walk from Zako this was also clean with nice sunbeds and a small beach bar.

You may find you need to hire a car or scooter whilst you are there as it is a bit far out if you want to explore (although bus stops outside). If you do hire a car speak to George he will make sure you have the BEST (so he sez).

Zako Apertments has got to be the lovliest place I have ever stayed. As its a small family run place, you are made to feel very welcome indeed, and the family are incredibly helpful and friendly, especially George and Themis.

Situated just 3Km from Limenaria the second largest Town on the island, Zako is perfectly placed. Not to close to the town, yet not too far. A walk into town takes just over 25min, and can be achieved almost entirely by walking on the beach, and a taxi back is just 3 euros, so its nice and cheap. The nearest Beach is only 500meters from your room, and boasts fantastic white sand and a great little bar.If you require a car to hire then I would suggest that anybody staying at Zako ignore the brochures from Thomas Cook about the company AVIS, and talk to either Themis or george as they can get you a MUCH better deal through their own contacts.

Best resteraunt has to me 'Moragioe' in Limernaria, you cant miss it, as its opposite a large marble monolith with carvings from Greek legend.
If yout thinking of a nice qiuet break, in what has to be the friendliest Apartments complex ever then you cannot do any better than this. Five stars all round!!

Although it was the first week of the season the weather was extremely hot. Zako apartments are wonderful. George and his Mum and Dad gave us such a wonderful time and the Monday night BBQ will be remembered for a long time. The apartments were scrupulously clean as was the whole complex. The beach at Tripiti is lovely although the sea can be difficult to get into in places because of the rocks. Tripiti is so peaceful and quiet and there is nothing to do, you will need transport if you want to go into Limenaria itself, although a taxi was only 3 Euros. It is a beautiful island and the mountain villages are well worth a visit, especially Kastro. This certainly rated as our best holiday yet and we have visited lots of the Greek Islands.
