We spent 2 lovely weeks at Clear Horizon which was recommended by friends. It's a simple but clean hotel, directly overlooking the sea and from our balcony we had wonderful views over to Kefalonia. Hosts Andy & Martina and daughter Pamela were very friendly and made sure we had all we needed. Andy picked us up from the airport free of charge. (There is no airport bus.) We booked half board and enjoyed copious breakfasts and tasty Greek dinners in the evening. As public transport was practically non-existent, we rented a car for three days to explore the island (detailed map essential!) and took 2 tours: a day's boat trip round Zakinthos (take a picnic!) and another one over to Kefalonia with bus tour and a stop for lunch - all very good value and booked through Martina. Our room was a studio with kitchenette, TV and air conditioning. Everything was fine except the mattresses, which were not very comfortable, but we got used to them! The shower was rather narrow and we would have appreciated more ledges or hooks in the bathroom, but we knew it wasn't a five star hotel and everything else was well up to standard. We met up with other guests in the bar after dinner and many of them were regulars, going back year after year! It was so handy to have the beach close by and the lovely clean pool with sun beds for relaxing. Ammoudi is a quiet backwater off the beaten track but with a couple of supermarkets and bazaars selling the essentials and a few other hotels and bars - perfect for a relaxing holiday. We would definitely recommend this address - great value for money!
