Disabled Person Holiday Discussions

Are you disabled or know someone who is? What are your experiences of hotels and resorts as a disabled person?

Hi Aish.
We visited Zante in 2008, stayed in Tsilivi.
My wife has mobility issues and uses a wheelchair.
Tsilivi in itself is nice enough, but not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.
The main area has no pavement and has a few nasty/blind corners.
The kerbs are ridiculously high and some of the shops have no access for wheelchairs.

We eventually had to be moved to another location, Kalamaki.
Which was a self-catering complex and suitable for our needs.

Now i cannot comment on Zante as a whole, but Tsilivi was not for us.
Hope you find something suitable.

Thanks Jimmy

Will avoid Tsilivi so. Where did you stay in Kalamaki?
Was it easier to get around?

Hi Aish, we stayed in the Macedonia Hotel. http://www.macedoniahotel.gr/
The place itself was flat, and we had a disabled room. Plenty room for the wheelchair.
As it was self catering there is a 20 min walk to the town for food, although there is a food bar in the hotel.
Easier to get around than Tsilavi.
The flight path is within touching distance overhead :really
