A small village to the north east of
Zante, sharing the stretch of golden sandy beach with neighbouring Alikanas,
Alikes caters for tourism well but offers a more relaxed and quieter side than some of the livlier resorts on Zante. With beautiful scenery and peaceful atmosphere,
Alikes has grown to be a popular resort for a relaxing break away. From this area walking or cycling in the surrounding countryside is a popular pastime for visitors, or exploring the smaller villages inland.
There is plenty of accommodation available in the resort, including hotels, studios and apartments and also a camping ground situated only a few metres from the beach. There are watersports on offer along this stretch of coast and numerous shops, restaurants and bars available although
Alikes has kept an air of tradition, being a small resort, and is not too commercialised. From the hills above
Alikes and
Alykanas, spectacular views of the salt flats and surrounding countryside offer superb photograph opportunities. Boat trips to the Blue caves and famous smugglers cove are also available from
Alikes.
