Roulla Apartments Reviews
" Roula Apartments, Alykes "
Submitted By: julie a
I stayed at Roula last month and it was 'heaven!' Set in a quiet location, about 20 mins walk from the beach and centre, with breathtaking views of the wonderful, green mountains. Extremely clean and comfortable apartments (I was very lucky - a single traveller who had a room with a double bed and single bed in it, very spacious) Eleni, the owner is a very friendly, kind hearted person who would sit and pass the time September!!! MAGICAL!!
Advice: Quiet but beautiful.
Activities: All very good.
Good for: Beach

" Excellent "
Submitted By: Wagstaff88
Excellent studios in a lovely location and spotlessly clean too. We had no complaints whatsover. Eleni who runs the apartments is wonderful, nothing is too much trouble. Alykes is nice but was on the quiet side, probably because of the credit crunch. Best taverna by far was To Paradosiako, the food, service and atmosphere were all excellent and reasonably priced too. Also worth a mention was Ponderosa, a very good taverna. Whispers was a good bar to go in after a meal, especially if you are over 35. Beach was very good and only about 8 mins walk away.
Advice: A very nice resort
Activities: To Paradosiako, an excellent taverna

This was such a wonderful and relaxing holiday which far exceeded expectations. Alyces is a lovely, friendly and fairly quiet resort but with a good selection of bars and restaurants. The beach is probably the best in Zante. Eleni who runs the Roula apartments was fantastic - smiling all the time and nothing was ever too much trouble. We were made very welcome. The accommodation was simple but extremely clean. The pool area was great and the views of the mountains superb. Roula is located next to other accommodation where there's a small restaurant and a couple of other pool areas. It's about 10 minutes walk to the beach. We'll definitely be going back again soon!

Excellent accommodation, very clean , lovely pool area, small and friendly. Eleni, the owner is very pleasant and nothing is too much trouble. The area is quiet but within easy reach of the village and backs on to open land. Nice beach.
Can also recommend Alykes car hire.
Try and visit family run "The Olive Tree Story Taverna" in Maries for lovely village food and good company and a sunset, about 12km from Alykes.
If your travelling south in the island stop at Haris And Anna's taverna on the road between Argassi and Porto Zorro as Haris says "its just out of the oven".

Submitted By: Mr J Harris
This proved to be the best bargain I have ever had. I booked 4-5 weeks before and didnt really expect too much. Its a beautifully kept small complex with its own pool, set in a perfect location for peace and quiet, but with the most amazing view up into the hills and only 10-15 minutes walk from the beach and village centre. Eleni, who runs the place, never stops smiling and is hospitality itself, a mine of information and genuinely helpful and anxious for you to enjoy every minute of your holiday.
Alykes itself is quite small but with plenty of places to eat and drink. Speaking of drink, a few minutes away from the Roulla is the S B bar, run by a great guy called Nikos, who not only speaks excellent English but has an terrific collection of good music. Even closer is the Panorama bar/cafe and pool, on the corner. Run by the wonderful Sakis and his family, I can personally recommend this place for anything from a cup of tea, cold beer, bar snack up to a traditional Greek night. The family are truly hospitable people (I should know, I was invited to lunch twice. Its amazing what a bit of dodgy ungrammatical Greek can achieve). Tavernas I can recommend are Anatolikos (on the beach) Maestro (near the big supermarket) and "To Paradosiako" which is by the river halfway between the bridges. Try to get up to Katastari, the little village up the hill (a mile and a half?) there is a great taverna there as well, just near the church.

If you are looking for an affordable holiday, set in beautiful surroundings, ten minutes from the beach and the town centre then this is the place to go.

Loved every minute of my holiday. Eleni, who runs the place is just one of the nicest people I have ever met. The room was lovely. Even had a shower curtain (a real novelty for Greece). Cleaned regularly.
<br><br>
15 second stroll to the nearest pool (either Clio or Panorama). We used the Clio pool, who are also really nice people. Perfect for a family with small children, or a young or old couple who don’t want to be somewhere noisy.
<br><br>
Loved it. Would go back today, if my boss would let me 10/10.

Alykes is Ok but a bit too busy for us - we hired a car for 2 weeks and the north of the island is less spoilt. The local supermarkets have no fresh meat and the nearest butcher requires use of a car or public transport. All in all,if you are planning to eat in then these apartments are only average.
Elena would appear to have a very loyal following with people returning year after year. I hope that this review gives a more balanced opinion of the accommodation and the resort.
Advice: It was Ok but too commercialised for us.
Activities: Three restaurants in order of quality - 1) Paradosiako 2) Anatolikos and 3) Asteria
