General Comments

Just returned from Alykanas Village. A great hotel with all facilities you need. One minor issue. There is a snack bar but no restaurant in the evening so you do need to go into the villages of Alykanas or Alykes to eat. They are not far away and we prefer to do that anyway. The hotel has three pools and a lovely indoor pool which closes end May. It is also fronted by an excellent Beach and a warm clear sea which is very safe for children.
One issue to note if you have a baby. Although you may have booked a cot the hotel claim this is only a request and not guaranteed. Charge is 3 Euros per night. The Horse and cart rides were 5 Euros but believe price increases to 10 in Summer.

The village Tavernas are very good. In Alykanas we liked; Apollo, Matelena, Dionyssos and the Lemon Tree (which you need to access by free Horse and Cart - They will arrange a lift back to the hotel by Horse or Car)
If you walk from Alykanas to Alykes there is a Taverna midway in the countryside which we really enjoyed. (Popa something)
Recommend the Trainakis which is a motorised mini train ride. 3 hour trip for 10 Euros.
Take a walk from the hotel along the beach to the right and you will see the Neraida taverna - good for the kids with videos and a play area. Walk up the hill and eventually to come into the old village of Alykanas - very quite with a couple of Tavernas and a small beach. Lovely.
