Hi again,
There is a guy on here paulmallaratt, he owns heaven bar in Alykanas, pm him, he's nice and it's not too far from Tsilivi, I was living in Alykes but worked in Alykanas as well.
We were hoping to go visit friends in September too.
Poor money working in hotels(for your partner)it tends to be locals that get these jobs. Better money selling tours, try Pelargos(Yolande) or Spring tours(Jimmy) they are usually looking for peeps to work a season and being english speaking is a plus 800euros per month(roughly) thats a good wage in Zakynthos !
My friend Vassilis has an internet cafe in Alykes, he goes home to the mainland in winter time, he said last season was pretty poor money wise, and that Tsakis in Alykanas didn't do well either.
So do lots of research, people are very friendly on the island.
Just be careful not to step on anyones toes, business wise !
Best of Luck, Nance.
