About this property

Votsalo 2 - Alykes, Zakynthos

Votsalo is a seaside resort at Alykes bay in the Eastern part of Zakynthos. Driving through a wonderful olive grove you will find yourself in a quiet and peaceful spot where you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the mountains and at the same time the tranquillity of a private beach. The location is ideal due to a combination of desirable isolation and easy access to the fully equipped village center.


The votsalo resort is located at Alykes of Katastari. Alykes, which means salt lake, is known for the long coastline with beautiful, sandy beaches and warm, shallow, crystal clear waters. It is also one of the most well-organized areas of Zakynthos offering a plethora of exciting water sports, trips to the world famous shipwreck and blue caves, vibrant night life, delicious local food, carriage rides with horses, ideal for families and couples. The village center provides all kinds of services like supermarket, cafe, restaurants, pharmacies, public health center etc.

The votsalo resort is developed on two levels. The main building which is a semi-finished new construction lies on the upper level offering an amazing view where you are able to see the sun rising from the sea. At the lower level extends a 500 m² open space suitable for relaxation, reading, enjoying the sun and playing games. Sunbeds, umbrellas, beach tennis rackets, canoe kayak, masks for diving, wind surf and inflatable water toys are at your disposal. You will have the unique opportunity to experience the convenience of your almost private sea.

The apartment consists of two master bedrooms with double beds, a fully equipped open-plan kitchen and a bathroom. The place is accommodated with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi access. Free parking and washing machine are also available.

Upon your arrival you will find the apartment with a clean set of bed linen for each bed and a clean set of towels (for body, face and feet) for each guest. You can clean the apartment by yourself since everything you need for cleaning is provided (broom, dustpan, mop etc). You will be provided with a clean set of bed linen and clean towels every five days. Please bring your own towel for the beach.


Zante's landscape variety provides a wonderful scenery of traditional villages in the mainland, where you can explore mediterranean architecture, wineries and extended olive groves. You can taste the local wines, raisins, oil, food and desserts. The Southeast part of the island is characterized by beautiful, sandy, well- organized beaches with warm, shallow waters, such as Gerakas beach (one of the last protected areas in the world for the Caretta-Caretta turtle), Banana beach, Azzuro beach, Alykes and Alykanas. In the northwestern part of Zante the ionian sea sculpts the edges of the island forming breathtaking beaches such as the world's famous Shipwreck Cove, the Blue Caves,Porto Limnionas and Porto Roxa.

Sehr schöne FeWo und Garten

Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Alles war vorhanden, was man in einer FeWo braucht. Ruhige Lage, aber Lokale und Geschäfte nah. Der Garten ist auch toll.

Magical stay

I was excited for the stay at this property – the pictures looked stunning and I loved easy access to the beach! Out of my 12 days island hopping in Greece, this was the nicest property I chose for my partner’s birthday. However, despite seeing all the pictures, this cute apartment still surprised me! It’s extremely spacious, beautifully decorated, and the hosts are just amazing! We didn’t meet Kostas, but his mom – the sweetest lady – greeted us, gave us a tour, and even baked a yummy cake for my partner’s birthday! They also gave us plenty of recommendations for things to do on the island! This stay was absolutely unforgettable and I hope to come back one day. The ability to use kayaks, floaties, and a bunch of other stuff was a nice touch! Just be aware of the fact that the beach is pretty shallow on that side of the island and you have to walk for a bit to get to deeper parts. The drive to the property is through an olive tree grove and you have to park under olive trees…it was so picturesque, I didn’t want to leave! Oh, and while you’re there, check out Skinos restaurant. It’s a short ride from the property and the staff over there made our stay in Zakynthos so much more fun!

Einfach herrlich!

Wir verbrachten eine herrliche Woche in Votsalo2! Das Apartment verfügt über alles was man benötigt, ist top gepflegt und die Aussicht vom Balkon ist einfach traumhaft. Vom tollen Garten, der nicht nur für Kinder perfekt zum Spielen ist, sondern auch zum Entspannen einlädt, kommt man direkt zum Stein/Sandstrand. Dieser Strand, den wir oft quasi als Privatstrand genießen durften, wurde heuer zu unserem absoluten Lieblingsstrand von Zakynthos! Wer den Trubel sucht, hat es bis zu den Örtlichkeiten nicht weit, teilweise auch zu Fuß erreichbar. Ansonsten kann man sich auch von den zuvorkommenden Gastgebern Restaurantempfehlungen geben lassen. Die Herzlichkeit und Liebe, mit welcher die Apartmentanlage geführt wird, war überall spürbar: bei unserer Ankunft war bereits Wasser im Kühlschrank vorgekühlt, wir bekamen einen phantastischen Begrüßungskuchen überreicht, unsere Töchter wurden gleich mehrfach beschenkt und in der Mitte der Woche bekamen wir noch ein komplettes Wäscheset zum Wechseln. Es gab einfach jederzeit einen freundlichen Blick oder ein freundliches Wort und genoss gleichzeitig absolute Privatsphäre! Wir haben uns in Votsalo 2 sehr wohlgefülhlt und sollten wir Zakynthos ein drittes Mal besuchen, dann bei Kostas und seinen Eltern! Vielen Dank für Alles!!

Perfect

Prior to arriving we had seen the wonderful pictures and read the positive reviews but still our stay at Votsalo managed to exceed our own high expectations. The property is managed by Kostas & family and therefore benefits from a personal touch. Every detail and convenience has been considered, all making for a very comfortable stay. As a couple and now a family of 3, we have been coming to Alykes for almost 20 years. This property is up there as arguably the best we have been fortunate enough to stay in while holidaying in the area. Location wise it's ideal with unobstructed views of the sea and access to a private beach. Downstairs the garden is a great place to relax. Kayaks are provided should you want to kayak in the clear waters of the Ionian. For restaurants, bars and shops, the property is an easy 10-12 min stroll into town. Communication with Kostas before and during our stay was always excellent. We very much hope to return to Votsalo in the not so distant future.

Awesome stay!

We enjoyed every minute in Kostas apartment. Everything was clean , nicely decorated and his family is very lovely. Our kid didn't want to leave either :-). Especially, the small little things I would like to highlight which are not very common in apartments - Water in the fridge when we arrived, fresh fruits almost every day, plenty of anti-moscito sticks, dish soap... I'm sure we will be back.

Amazing apartment at an amazing location

The sea just a stone-throw away, a beautiful sunset every evening, swimming with turtles, relaxing at sunbeds in a wonderful garden. All available when you stay at this magnificent and clean apartment hosted by friendly Kostas and his wonderful mother. I recommend it highly!

Amazing stay with even more amazing hosts! ❤️

We had a great week in Alykes. The Apartment was very nice and clean and the look over the sea is just amazing. There are many restaurants and shops near the apartment who can be reached in a few minutes by foot. The hosts were more than friendly and greeted us just as friends and we instant felt there like home. So once more, a big thank you for the amazing stay on this great island! ❤️

Perfekte Ferien

Alles äußerst sauber und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, in der Küche war alles vorhanden. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist paradiesisch, auch der Blick vom Balkon. Supermarkt, Restaurants, Bars sind zu Fuß sehr gut erreichbar. Die Vermieter waren sehr aufmerksam und nett, es gab als Willkommensgruss schon kalt gestellte Wasserflaschen und griechische Leckereien. Wir haben auch einen frisch gebackenen leckeren Mandelkuchen und eine Flasche Prosecco bekommen. Für die Kinder stehen im Garten Kanus und diverse Luftmatratzen, Schwimmringe usw. für das Badevergnügen bereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wären gerne noch länger geblieben...

Eine perfekte Wohnung in traumhafter Lage bei wundervollen Vermietern

Die Wohnung ist original so, wie auf den Fotos dargestellt. Die Ausstattung ist wirklich perfekt. Alles ist sehr liebevoll & mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet und dekoriert. Der Balkon ist wirklich ein Highlight... Wir haben jeden Morgen mit wunderschönem Meerblick gefrühstückt. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet, alle benötigten Gerätschaften sind in guter Qualität vorhanden. Der Kühlschrank ist groß und hat ein geräumiges Gefrierfach, was uns das Einkaufen sehr erleichtert hat. Die Klimaanlage funktioniert, genauso wie die Heizung und das Heißwasser-System problemlos. Sämtliche Funktionen wurden uns bei der Ankunft gründlich von Kostas und seiner Mama erklärt. Die Gastfreundschaft und die Hilfsbereitschaft der Vermieter-Familie ist einfach nur fantastisch. Wir konnten uns jederzeit mit allen Fragen an sie wenden. Zwischendurch wurden wir mit kleinen Leckereien verwöhnt, sogar einen selbst gebackenen Kuchen haben wir geschenkt bekommen. Dafür nochmals herzlichen Dank ! Die Lage ist perfekt, schön ruhig am Ende der Bebauung, zum Einkaufen hat man es trotzdem nicht weit. Wer Unterhaltung braucht ist in wenigen Minuten im Ort, wo es reichlich Restaurants und Geschäfte gibt. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist einfach nur perfekt ! Einige Schritte durch den Garten und man ist am Meer, Badeschuhe helfen, weil am Ende der Treppen ein ca. 1,5 Meter breiter Streifen grobe Kiesel kommen, die jedoch am Wassersaum sofort in feinsten, hellen Sand übergehen. Der Strand fällt sehr sanft ab, man kann sehr weit ins Wasser laufen und man hat wirklich das Gefühl in der Karibik zu sein, weil das Wasser in allen Türkisfarben schimmert. In der Gartenanlage stehen Liegen und Sonnenschirme in ausreichender Zahl zur Verfügung. wir haben hier viel Zeit verbracht, weil wir auch hier keine 3 Meter vom Wasser entfernt gemütlich liegen konnten. Wir haben uns extrem wohl gefühlt und können diese Anlage wärmstens empfehlen. Nochmals ein herzliches DANKESCHÖN an Kostas und die ganze Familie. Zakynthos bietet zahlreiche, sehr interessante Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Da wir im Mai dort waren blühte die ganze Insel . Wir waren jeden Tag mit dem Mietwagen unterwegs und immer wieder von der Schönheit dieser Insel begeistert.

Echt top!

De ontvangst bij het appartement was zeer aangenaam en de eigenaar regelde voor de rest ook alles goed. Het appartement ziet er goed onderhouden uit en is mooi modern ingericht en beschikt over alles wat je nodig hebt. Je kan lekker genieten van het uitzicht vanaf je balkon of achter het appartement lekker relaxen op een van de bedden, om vervolgens binnen een paar stappen de zee in te lopen.. Zeker genoten van ons verblijf!

Beautiful apartment and view

We had a lovely holiday here with our 2 young children. The apartment is really well furnished and the gorgeous warm sea down some steps. The sea is shallow for a long way. We enjoyed using the kayak’s provided by the apartment. Kostas’ family were all incredibly kind and welcoming.

Wunderbarer Urlaub!!!

Die Ferienwohnung ist wie auf den Bildern - sehr sauber und außerordentlich modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wunderbar ist auch der große Balkon mit Blick auf das Meer sowie die Sonnenaufgänge. Der Garten kann mitgenutzt werden und Parkplätze sind vorhanden. Zum Kieselstrand braucht man nur die Treppe hinuntergehen. Das Wasser hatte im Juni 25 Grad - ein Traum. In näherer Umgebung gibt es jede Menge Restaurants sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Ein Mietwagen ist zu sinnvoll, um die vielen schönen Strände und Aussichtspunkte auf der Insel zu erkunden. Ein ganz besonderes Lob gilt der Familie von Kostas, sehr sympathische und nette Leute! Wir wurden mit selbstgemachten Kuchen versorgt und für unseren Sohn gab es jede Menge Spielzeug zur Mitbenutzung. Wir können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und bedanken uns für die Gastfreundschaft!

Situated at the waters edge sunrise to view every morning

I was a little apprehensive because there was no reviews being a new property, so for us it was a little risk, I'm glad to report the two weeks we had were fab, just a little walk into Alykes strip which we all enjoyed anyway, the family that lived and worked close were all lovely, even brought over a little home cooking and always very pleasant, our bed was a little firmer than we are used to but the children were fine, over all a friendly place to stay in Alykes with a wonderful sea view, we would love to visit again... Well done :-)

Amazing Rental with Stunning Views

I honestly cannot say enough good things about our stay at Votsalo 2. It was our first time visiting a Greek Island and we will be back! The apartment was immaculate and well stocked and the owners were very gracious and accommodating! Everything you need is walking distance (approx. 10 mins) from the apartment including a grocery and shops to pick up any incidentals, as well as a place to book any excursions you might want to take. We booked a boat tour to Shipwreck Beach and the pick up was only a 15 min walk from the apartment. There is a gorgeous view of the sunrise every morning from your balcony and you have your own beach access! If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay on the island with all of the comforts of home, this is it!!
