Argassi, Zante Holidays: Beaches and Easy Island Fun
Argassi on Zante is a popular pick for British holidaymakers who want a friendly, all-round resort on one of the Greek Islands. It sits a short hop from the island's main town, so you get the convenience of being close to the action while still having a beach on your doorstep.
It suits couples, groups of friends and families who like a bit of life around them, with plenty of bars, tavernas and shops within easy reach.
Where to stay in Argassi
For this resort the Admiral De Luxe is a solid four-star choice on Zante, within walking distance of the beach, making it an easy base for both relaxing days and exploring further afield.
Getting there and when to go
Most UK visitors fly into Zakynthos airport, which is a short transfer from Argassi. The summer season is hot and reliably sunny, perfect for the beach and the resort buzz, while the shoulder months of late spring and early autumn are quieter and a touch cooler.
Beaches and resorts
Argassi has a long, narrow beach backed by the resort strip, with calm water that suits swimmers and families. Its position means you can easily reach other beaches and bays around the island if you fancy a change of scene, from livelier sands to quieter coves.
Food and things to do
The resort is well stocked with tavernas serving Greek classics, alongside international choices and a sociable bar scene after dark. Days can be spent on the beach or taking boat trips, watersports and excursions around Zante, which is known for its dramatic coastline.
Who it suits
Argassi works best for those who want a lively, convenient base with easy access to the beach, the town and the rest of the island. If you are after total peace and quiet, you may prefer one of Zante's calmer corners.
