- In the 7th episode, we hire a car and take you up the eastern side of Zante.
First we take you to Hermes Rentals in Kalamaki and show you how much it is to hire a small car/quad bike for a few days.
Once we have our vehicle, we embrace our freedom by firstly stopping at a special place to us, Vardiola Restaurant. This being the place we tied the knot back in 2015.
After a look around here, we move on to Amoudi, a sleepy little greek village resort, walking down towards a small beach.
From here we move on to Alykes for a spot of lunch, but first we show you the main street of Alykes with the bars and restaurants within the resort. We stop off at Alykes Beach and try some food at Palm Tree Beach Bar.
Once our stomach's are full, we take some time out to relax at Xigia beach. The sea here is a natural spa, containing healing elements from the sulphur off the surrounding rocks.
We then drive to the most northern tip of the island, Cape Skinari. Here we visit the lighthouse overlooking Kefalonia. We also take a walk around to the Windmill Taverna, where 2 flour grinding mills have been turned into places to stay. We also walk down the steps towards the sea and get sight of the Blue Caves.

Another fantastic video guys we go to Kalamaki in September your videos have got us so happy we're going thank you both
Ah you're welcome Mark. Pleased they have struck a note with so many people, especially those who haven't been able to travel for the last few years and those that haven't been for many years. About another 3 videos to come, including tomorrow's then it's all done 😦
Really enjoyed this video, being going to Kalamaki for many years and love the island, thanks for a great tour of zakynthos
Aww thank you, pleased you have enjoyed it. There's more of the island next week too so keep an eye out for that one 😊
Hi new subscriber
Great video. We go to Alykanas for the 1st time in June. Can't wait
We normally go to Corfu
Hello there, welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing. It means a lot to us.
Glad you enjoyed the video, you'll absolutely love Zante, I'm sure of it.
Great quality camera work went to the blue caves about year ago x
Thank you, just did it all off my phone. Pleased to know I am doing things right 😁
ps your wedding and wedding dress were gorgeous xx
Aww thank you, it was a great day. Everyone that went said it was the best wedding they'd been to.
I bet it was xx
Loving this Zante series 👍,also rewatching your Skiathos vlogs because we've booked for next year, our third visit 😀
Thank you Jackie, pleased you're enjoying them. It always hard to picture how they're going to turn out when you're capturing stuff as sometimes ideas just come up as you put them together. Pretty pleased woth the outcome so far.
Keep them coming!! Especially Greece 🇬🇷
@@jackiefletcher860 only got 2 more to do now. Already finished the one for this week.
I broke my toe at the 'healing beach' wasn't as calm when we were there!!
Ouch, how on earth did you do that?
@@continentalcoxons it was really wavy and the stones in the water all shifted..I went one way, my toe went the other - stuck under some stones. The other half was laughing till the purple toe made a full appearance later on that night. Been loving these videos.. been to Tsilivi many times, considering Kalamaki for next year so thanks
Oooo sounds painful, hope it fixed quick.
Thank you, pleased you have enjoyed these, always nice to hear they've been appreciated and makes it worthwhile doing them. Kalamaki is a lovely resort, highly recommend it
Good episode, think I need one of them T Shirts so I can be in the geek brigade 😉
🤣 you can continue to spread the word next year if you had one too.
@@continentalcoxons definitely, I'm back at the gym now so might need a vest 🤣
Have to look into that and see if they do any.
Thank you for your video!! I enjoyed it very much! 😍🥰🥰 and BTW - you guys are very inspiring; you're such a cute couple ❤
Aww thank you so much K, quite overwhelming being called inspiring but really nice. We just see ourselves as a normal couple and never think of ourselves that way but it's really nice to hear. You've made our day 😊
Really pleased you enjoyed the video, hope you enjoy the other Zante videos too.
@@continentalcoxons 🙏 thank you - I'm flying tomorrow from Birmingham, UK and will be on the island until Sunday 🥰🥰🥰 again, thank you for the guide; who knows, maybe for my next trip, your videos could be the guide too 😉 you guys have a lovely day 😘
@@KeepLearing we hope you have a lovely time in Zante, I have no doubts you will. Where are you staying on the island?
@@continentalcoxons I'm staying at Anemomilos Studios, Ano Vasilikos, Greece. I haven't been abroad in 4 years and I've made a few whoops in booking this - as many people said it could have been a lot cheaper! 🙈 - because I have no idea about Greece and by the looks from the map, I didn't want to stay too far from the airport and the main area; in terms of seeing things I know I can find my way to travel/explore around the island anyway. I hope I've made the right decision 😅
@@KeepLearing I'm sure you wont be disappointed K, Greece has so many beautiful islands that are all worth exploring.
hi guys gr8 vlog...1 question how was it getting your drone through customs on either side?...i have a sub 249g drone and i ain't got a clue lol...thx both
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it. Absolutely no bother at all getting the drone through. Mine weighs the same as yours so can just take it as your hand luggage.
thx Jamie for the reply.1 more ?..did you have to register your flight details to the local Police and the Greek aviation authorities..and if so was it for each flight ?..thx m8
@@Agt-Fox-Mulder no I never did anything like that
Hi Jamie and Jacqui This is Fox-Mulders wife. We want to send our best wishes to you both. My husband had to have his eye removed when he was young so knows what you are experiencing. You are a lovely couple and we look forward to more videos from you. We are returning to Alykes Zante this year so we sit and watch all your Zante videos every night as we are so excited. Take care both and keep doing what you are doing x@@continentalcoxons
Nice vid mate, we got back from alykanas last month, can’t beat the island, also that nasty smell wasn’t the sulphur it was your wife after eating that double burger. Just kidding. All the best
🤣🤣 that's what I was worried about.
Yeah its a great island, been many times now and will probably return again at some stage.
Pleased you liked the vid.
Looking forward to the next one,has the petrol price shot up just as much as in the uk?
Thanks for watching. It was well over 2 euro when we were there so more expensive than the UK.
In kalamaki now for a week love the videos thanks! What do you do about petrol for the car does it come full do you have to take it back full? Thanks for the recommendation x
Hi Emily and thanks for the lovely comments. For the car we had it was quarter full when we got it so we just had to return it at the same level.
@@continentalcoxons perfect thanks! X
@@emilyannmanders1474 you're welcome.
I've 5 days on this stunning island and we keep toying with idea of a car. Honestly how are the roads and other drivers like? Did you feel safe enough
It was absolutely fine Siobhan, we didn't encounter any issues at all. Some of the roads and be a little bit bendy up in the hills. Take your time and you'll be absolutely fine.
Helo, i want to see Ammoudi beach:)
You may get to see a bit of it in this week's episode 😉
hi i love Zakynthos can i ask when you hired the car how much the excess was to hire it please
Hi Susan, it's been a few years since we made this video now, so prices may ha e changed, but it was about 20 euro for fully comp insurance. I think it might actually be mentioned on the information ation in the video if I remember rightly.
Thanks so much really appreciate it I'm going to look into it for this year only problem is I'm worried about driving opposite side of the road but if you don't try eh x
@susanmitchell3516 honestly nothing to worry about it. Just take your time and you'll be good.
I’m going to Tsilivi in two weeks, and I’ve not been away since covid. Just wondering if it’s best to bring cash like I would normally do or bring a card with me? I’m sure every business is different but just wanted to ask for an opinion x
Hello. We used both cash and card when we went so ots your choice really, most places take both. We use a revolut card which is great and easily manageable through the phone app. Can add lonely on any time and exchange. If you lose the card you can block it as well. We'll worth looking at.
@@continentalcoxons amazing!! Thank you very much for that😊 love watching your videos, I’ve been Zakinthos a few times so it’s great to see another couple who love it too🥳
@@abbix557 thank you abbi, tha ks for your support and so pleased you are enjoying the videos.
did you have to put down a deposit on the car??
From what I remember, I don't believe we did as we took out the fully comp insurance option, which I think was about an additional €20
@@continentalcoxons thx .. we are going in start september .. cant wait.
Sure you'll have a lovely time.
