PRIVATE VILLA TO LET IN ZAKYNTHOS, GREECE: Zakynthos, or Zante as the visitor more commonly knows it, is also referred to as the “Flower of the Orient” for it truly is an island of exceptional beauty. The locals are renowned for their true Greek hospitality, which probably accounts for why so many holidaymakers return to the island time and time again.Geographically the island is the most southern of the six Ionian Islands located off western mainland Greece. It is approximately 40km long and 17km wide giving an area of over 400 sq. km and hosts a population of approximately 45,000 with an extra 300,000 holidaymakers during the summer months. The island has a Mediterranean climate providing long hot summers and warm wet winters. Zakynthos gets a lot of rainfall during the winter months and this is the reason it is very green and fertile. The countryside is covered in wildflowers, especially in the spring, and the island has rich vegetation including raisins, olives, vines and citrus fruits. Kalamaki Court is a newly built (completed June 07) private holiday complex in the resort of Kalamaki (which is very near the airport) and consists of a total of 14 private villas, providing the holidaymaker with a budget holiday whereby they can rent independently their own home in the sun! The complex of two storey private villas includes also two swimming pools, children's pool, BBQ area and outside showers set in enclosed landscaped gardens and is Fully Air Conditioned. The complex is located in a most desirable area on the edge of the resort of Kalamaki.

Kalamaki is 4 kilometres from the main town on the island Zante, which can be easily accessed by public transport or by taxi at a very reasonable cost. The complex is a 2 minutes stroll to the nearest supermarket, Hotel Dollas, internet cafe and the the traditional Greek Taverna 'Christos' owned by Christos and his wife Emily who not only cook and serve their own fresh home cooked traditional and european food, but will sit and chat with customers and even teach you a few Greek words.
