This area is named after the salt factory that has been operating
there for many years.It is one of the most popular holiday centres
on the island.
Alikes offers a good variety of watersports, jet skiing, paragliding
and water skiing.
Alikes has some of the best beaches north of Zakynthos
Town and is a busy access route to the north of the island.
The
long beach at Alikes is divided by a long jetty which is the starting
point for the local fishermen.
From the cypress-lined foothills, the salt-pans and the narrow sandy
beach, this is an excellent starting point for mountain biking and
hiking. The stone bridge was built by the British during their occupation.
