Great scenery and soft sands, plus fantastic pools and a splash park – Alykanas Beach Village has cracked the code for laid-back family breaks.
Alykanas Beach Village has things nicely worked out in the family getaway stakes. There’s no long trek to the beach here – just pad past the pool and you’re there. It’s a thin band of sand that shelves down to calm waters that are perfect for little swimmers.
It’s the pools that really catch the eye, though. There’s one that looks out over the beach, one that's geared up for sports, and one that’s large size makes it ideal for swimming. The icing on the cake is the splash park, which is home to a sunken pirate ship with a swinging tyre, octopus slides, and mushroom showers.
When it comes to food, everything has been kept fairly simple. There’s the pool bar serving cooked and continental breakfasts, and salads, pizzas and snacks throughout the day. At dinner time, most guests make the ten-minute walk to the restaurants in Alykanas.
Lastly, as you’d expect, the complex has plenty going on activity-wise. As well as a Thomson Kids' Club, there’s a playground, a children's pool, and a paddling pool for toddlers.

Your guide to Alykanas, Zante
“Whitewashed houses dazzling in the sunshine. A sweeping curve of soft of sand. And nothing louder than the sound of the waves to disturb a light lunch al fresco… It’s a retreat that people come back to year after year.”
If you’re looking for discos, fast food parlours and booze cruises… forget this place. Alykanas is several miles and a world away from all that. In this small, but growing, village is life has stayed firmly in the slow lane. Traditional tavernas serve typically Greek food and horse-drawn carriages take you at a trot to neighbouring Alikes – setting the pace for an unhurried, hassle-free holiday. There’s a choice of café bars and little local shops to browse in – that is if you can tear yourself away from the sea and sand. Nightlife is noted by its absence – unless you count taking all evening over a table groaning with stuffed tomatoes, swordfish steaks, honey-soaked baklava and light white wine. And the whole place is enveloped in a friendly informality, a sort of camaraderie of like-minded sunseekers. You could hire a car to explore the rural interior. Board a boat trip to swim at Smugglers Cove. Or you could just sip a sundowner as you look across the sea to Kefalonia… and plan another idyllically lazy day.

We spent a great (if initially very wet) week from 18th Oct. My children are 8 and 4 and loved the clubs and the reps. Us adults also enjoyed the entertainment and found all the team very pleasant. The guys did make it fun and were still enthusiastic... more on this review
