Zante - Discover Kalamaki In 2024: What's New in Kalamaki?

In episode 2, we look around Kalamaki to discover what changes have been made for 2024 and compare it to our last visit in 2024.
We're starting down at Kalamaki Beach where we are looking at sunbed prices and changes to the old Kalamaki Beach Taverna.
We then take a walk back up the road towards Airport Cafe and show you what hotels are on the street leading up to the main road.
We stop at the Airport Cafe for a light breakfast and watching some of the flights arriving on the island of Zakynthos.
It's then time to head up Kalamaki's main street, or strip as its known. Along the way we show you some of the menu boards, pubs and restaurants, as well as new additions ahead of the main 2024 summer season.
We then hit the old Beach Road down towards Crystal Beach to see if there have been any changes.

We are thinking of returning to Zante next year. Just so many places to holiday it's hard to choose but videos like this really help.

    Hi Jamie and wife forgot your wife’s name ? Well yet another great video well presented and documented, it’s like being there when you both show us around kalamaki.We go every year and yes there are some more different places opening up. Some of the bars and restaurants aren’t there long before being taken over by someone else must be difficult to earn a living in the current climate. Those sun beds have rocketed up in price 20 euros is expensive and it seems there aren’t many takers now also the hotels have had there tourist tax doubled at the Macedonian it was 21 euros last year now we have been told it’s 42 euros this year . Well once again thank you for a well documented and presented video we look forward to the next one.👏👏👏🙏

Kalamaki has changed a lot since I was first there in 2008, same layout but places have changed. And yes, the sunbeds are ridiculous now. Not sure of its just there at the old Beach Taverna or if other parts of the beach charge the same.

    Ah, that was a brilliant episode yous two! We loved the Puzzle Restaurant,!.. been there every year since 2012! The lady who ran it was just lovely to us. The Look-up Bar where we met up for a few Beers in 2022, just our Favourite Bar on the Island..Bar None! is now no more?! Such a shame as Tasos Tranakas the owner put So much into it, it deserved a Lot more custom than it got,. Probably due to the out of sight location above a Very Busy Restaurant. Had some great times in the Look-Up, and will never be forgotten, .. actually brought a tear to my eye! Great Drone Video by the way, you're really getting the hang of this now! Great stuff Jamie & Jaqui! Cheers, til next time.

    Hi Jamie & Jacqui, another great informative video for our favourite resort, Thank you!! FYI, Remedy Bar which is now run by our friend Skopy who used to be in Drunk Corner, was formally Fergus Sings the Blues I think you’re right about Nectar cafe bar, I’m sure it was Puzzle Restaurant Yes the full English at the Airport Cafe is definately very good, & the walk back afterwards burns off the calories 👌🏼 We can also recommend Sizzle & Grill next to Buon Amici which is also great, hope you get to the Cave Bar on your next trip, it really is beautiful, & finally if ever book Sofias apartments you’ll love it there, that’s where we stay 😎 Look forward to your next video guys, look after yourselves Andy & Ally Swansea

    Trying to remember the name of that restaurant (puzzle). Got me and the wife thinking/discussing/arguing. Over the various restaurants that have changed over the years. For example Greek stories used to be fanari and also something else. Bull horn was yamas. But before that it was like an Italian style restaurant. (Around 2004) I can’t remember what Ellie’s place was before she took it over after working at ambrosia. Just wondering if any of you kalamaki lovers can remember any of these older places. Think there used to be one called two brothers near the rose and crown. And there was about three yo-yo’s cafes doted around.
