Our Airtours MyTravel Aspro Holiday Nightmare at Ioannis and Danny's in Alykanas, Zante (Zakynthos), Greece.

This website is here to inform others about our holiday nightmare at Ioannis and Danny's Apartments in the resort of Alykanas, Zante. It is hoped that anyone planning on holidaying there will use this as a reference to assess whether the accomodation is up to the standards you expect. Also this may help you to decide on whether or not the Airtours 'My Travel' package is one you really feel happy to trust with arranging your accomodation abroad.

I have been to Greece several times and I am fully aware of the standards one is to expect in Greece, which many describe as more basic than places like Spain for example. However,  those standards have nothing in common with what is to be found at Ioannis and Danny's Apartments.

This is what the Aspro (MyTravel) brochure promised that our accomodation would look like...

Typical room - NOT!

This complex is great for independent families and couples who want simple, friendly accommodation with an easygoing atmosphere. Peacefully positioned within an Olive grove setting, the Ioannis and Danny's is just 900 metres from the sandy beach and only 300 metres to the bars and tavernas in the resort centre.

Please note: A breakage deposit will be required on arrival.
Facilities Outdoor pool - Furnished sun terrace - Gardens - Bar serving snacks
Accommodation Studios sleeps 2, 2/3 or 2-4 and two bedroomed apartments sleep 2-5 adults or 5 adults and a child, both include a kitchenette with cooking rings and fridge, a bathroom with shower and wc, plus a furnished balcony or terrace.
Size 56 studios/apartments on 2 floors.
Board Basis Self catering.
Official Rating C.
Child Prices Applicable to Children 2-16.

As you can imagine, we were quite looking forward to spending a relaxing week in an apartment like that, which would be more than adequate for our stay. The description also added to our expectations as the words, "Peacfully positioned within an Olive grove setting" was exactly what we were looking for.

We arrived in Zante, several hours late and a little worse for wear due to a delay with the flight. But these things happen, and now we were on our way to our room at Ioannis and Danny's Apartments and we were quite happy with the first impression...

Danny's - Looks Good huh?

So far so good, now on to the room with its " kitchenette with cooking rings and fridge, a bathroom with shower and wc" etc. But it was downhill all the way from here...

The disgusting "kitchenette" units

 The filth and scum in which we were expected to stay!
 		Would you cook a meal on this?
Note the fridge near the back.

 		Has this ever been cleaned?

 		Covered in scum from previous usage, uuurgh!
A safety hazard!
It's only a bin, so why didn't they clean or replace it?

 Cracked and dirty with a broken light unit.

I have added some basic comments about this holiday to the following websites:

Airtours did nothing to compensate us, which is what I came to expect having read about the state of the company in the press. However, since I created this site and added my comments to the above review sites I am aware that many people have avoided Ioannis and Danny's because they found this site. Job done!
