Latest Reviews for Tragaki

Apartments brilliant, staff friendly especially the bloke in the supermarket across the road. My kids were fascinated with him. We hired a jeep for a week and went to alikes which has the most gorgeous beach and clear warm sea, definatley the best beach. The best restaurant we found was as you come out of the apartments, turn left and down the road past the iberostar turn left and it was on the right at the bottom of the road. it overlooks the small beach, food brilliant, staff so friendly.

I would definately go there again - no doubt.

We sought reviews on the apts from Holiday's Uncovered before finally booking and promised ourselves we would submit s review for others to view.

Firstly, I would definately recommend the apartments to couples or familys wanting a quiet relaxing holiday which will leave you feeling rejuvenated! The Thomson Rep assured us on the transfer from the airport that we had chosen well and we were definately not disappointed. The apts were spotless, the owners Miltos and Effi were very friendly and couldnt do enough to ensure a perfect stay. The meal in the bar were fantastic and so cheap, the owners regularly sat with the guests which was lovely. We were there during the Football 2004 season and it was great that the Greek's, English and Dane's were united and supported each other.

The resort itself has a supermarket opposite with a fantastic and friendly owner and isnt overpriced considering you need it on a daily basis for provisions. There are other supermarkets along the road. We did walk into Tsillivi a few times which was a nice walk and took around 20 mins. Tsilivi is full of nightclubs etc and we enjoyed our visit but were glad we didnt stay there. There are 4-5 fantastic taverna's, our favourites were a 5 minute walk from the apts at Ambula Beach Ambula Beach Taverna and the Fish Taverna. Eating out here was an absolute pleasure and very romantic. Meals were very reasonable with a 3 course meal and wine costing around £25.00 per couple. Fish is so cheap here and cooked to perfection. We couldnt believe how much food you got.

The only recommendation I would give is to get in to the Greek way of life and out of the English one where you think you must hurry your meal and vacate your table, this is definately not the case and the Greek's way of life is so chilled, never rushing you and an evening meal to them should last 2-3 hours. Leonardo at the Fish Taverna is superb and really welcomes you, my Husband and I regulary drank Sambuca with Leonardo and the Chef!

The Ambula beach is fantastic and my Husband and I were there whenever possible, its golden sand and clear water make it feel safe especially for those with children and it was so shallow and you had to walk quite far out before any depth. We went snorkling which was a great way to see all the fish due to the clear water.

I wouldnt recommend the Thomson trip to the blue cave/shipwreck its a very long journey by boat around a full day travel with about 1/2 an hour at the shipwreck which is a rusty boat with loads of grafetti on it mostly in English too. The best trip for us was to Zante Town it was fantastic and full of many bargins. It felt very safe and the people were so friendly. We were told there is no crime rate in Zante and this was reflected on the news where the most horrifing story being someone doing a u-turn on a motorway!

All in all it was the best relaxing holiday I've ever had, met some wonderful people, ate fantastic food and came home mellowed.

A definate recommendation A+++++
