Zante 2024 - Newcastle Airport Changes, TUI Flight & Hotel Macedonia Review

In episode 1 of our latest Zakynthos series, we travel from Newcastle Airport to the island of Zakynthos.
In this episode we tell you about some of the changes at Newcastle Airport for the 2024 holiday season.
We then board our TUI flight to Zante, where we show you the onboard prices for drinks, food and snacks.
As we arrive in Zante, we are met by our great friend Claude, from the Melon Bar in Zante. He drops us at the Hotel Macedonia in Kalamaki, before taking us to Melon Bar, where he provides us with lunch.
With our bellies full, we head back to the Hotel Macedonia where we show you what the hotel has to offer and then show you our room.

    We actually said that same thing when we were back in Melon Bar, its bizarre. Never actually associated any place like a second home but when we stay in Kalamaki, although it's a holiday destination I do get a feeling for the village life there for some reason. I think its the local kids hanging about the street with their mates, bit not causing any bother, which is nice to see.

    Hello there, thank you. No we'll be reverting back to usual Saturday slot. Gave ourselves a bit more time for the next episode incase of any discrepancies. Also, as we've been away from KZread for a while and it's a Bank Holiday, we didn't want to keep you all waiting 😅

    We are actually back home now, we were there in early May for 11 nights. We chose it as it was one of the cheapest and best deals about at that time. Was a really nice place to stay.

    Good video, the hotel rooms are too basic for me. No doubt value for money. I prefer Cystal Beach or the Meandross. But a different price point.

    Thanks Glenn. To be honest we hardly spend any of our time in the room anyway, so would be pointless for us to spend a lot of money on something we'd only be getting showered, changed and sleep. As long as its clean and facilities are half decent, that's all we need.

    Hello. That would take an awful lot of research and time. That's not to say it's not possible and something we could look into. It's something we'd probably have to do if we were back in Zante sometime.
