Alykes Holidays

Golden Beaches, Great Water Sports and Fascinating Salt Flats...

Alykes holidays provide a relaxing retreat, far away from the stresses of everyday life. The golden beaches stretch lazily into the shallow Ionian waters making it an ideal resort for children. Water sports are easily available with everything from waterskiing, banana boat rides and paragliding, with the warm northern breezes making windsurfing exceptionally popular.

The scenery surrounding Alykes is stunning with breathtaking mountain views creating excellent walking or cycling trails, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach to neighbouring Alikanas, a traditional resort with a quaint little fishing harbour. Translated, Alykes means "salt" and although once a major source of income for the town, the salt flats now lie undisturbed and are well worth a visit during your holidays in Alykes.
