We went to alykanas but not the other one so I can’t compare. The beach was incredible and lovely. There were tavernas, some lovely and some touristy. Not much help I’m afraid but we loved it and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. ps my husband was ill and the doctor was superb.

Si la spiaggia libera è a pochi metri dalla struttura con servizi ma veramente 50 metri. Comunque io opterei per la struttura con servizi che costa pochissimo per tutto il giorno e ti da accesso ai vari giochi acquatici e anche se vuoi una insalata o un pranzatto proprio di la dalla strada c'è c'è il punto di ristoro. saluti Stefano

hello, We was there 1 month ago and if you stay at the hotel Alynakas Viilage you have the sunbeds included; if you consume some drinks also you have it included(the sunbeds). We was very excited by the place, because it's very quite and nobody disturb you. Some recomandations if you permit me, visit the area because has a lot of beutiful things. Don't stay only at the beach. It's a shame. Visit the blue Caves, Navagio beach, Navagio View, Laganas beach, Banana beach, the capital- Zante with her wonderful views, around Alykanas, visit Alykes, beaches around the place. Have a nice trip! Best regards from Romania and come here too, is a wonderful country, despite the fact are saying about us.

hello, yes there are still horse and carriages that go thru alykanas to alkes in the evenings, not sure they go up the mountains, but you can visit the villages via the white train.

Hi, the beach where the turtles are is between Laganas and Kalamaki which isn't near the beach as it's the other side of the island. :)

Well I wouldn't say this is a shopping destination but there are a few tourist shops and supermarkets. Enough to mooch around
