Anyone know of a nice Island that I could get to that would make a good holiday for a young couple?


Hi ,We live in Ireland,Cork. We have been to Kalamaki in Zakynthos the past 3 yrs and loved it,lovely beach,the turtles lay their eggs there too,a beautiful island and lots to do too. We always stay at the Caretta Beach Hotel,it has a new part adjacent to it the Caretta Bay,the bay being quieter,both have lovely pools, flights are from Cork on a Sat night,and the manager is there to welcome you when you arrive,the hotel is owned and run by a lovely family,nothing is to much to ask,the cleaners are so nice too and the hotel is very clean,rooms are basic but nice. We are going to Stalis Crete this year just for a change but will def go back to Zante again next year.
