As a young female solo-traveler looking to have a relaxing vacation and enjoy the beauty of Zakynthos, I felt comfortable and at home in Spiros Family Apartments. The beds were comfortable and the air ventilation kept the room dry and cool on humid days. The hosts were lovely, treating me like family. I think a true testament to their hospitality is in how comfortable I felt during one-on-one interactions. My week in Zakynthos was part of a culinary and yoga tour. It was well organized and I got to sample a a wide range of Greek cuisine and learned quite a bit of cooking from Effie (host mother). Her homemade breakfast was delicious. At each meal, the family was very generous, always offering me more food, even when I was stuffed! Andriana (host daughter) led my yoga classes, which were easily some of the best I have ever taken! Highly recommend taking a cooking and/or yoga class while staying here. Antonio (host father) was my lead guide for excursions (to Zakynthos Town, olive oil production press museum, viewpoints, boat trips, etc). He went out of his way to organize the itineraries based on the weather and even added a few extra stops along the way. Each day was the perfect balance of activities and rest. I left Zakynthos feeling like I got a relaxing vacation but also learned a lot about Greek culture and saw some beautiful places around the island. Could not have asked for a better experience.
