Whether you prefer a quiet spot to soak up the sun or a busier beach with a lively atmosphere, the island caters to all preferences.

A holiday in Zante is not complete without sampling the local hospitality. You will find that life revolves around the town of Zakynthos and its surrounding areas, where traditional tavernas serve fresh, local produce. It is the perfect environment for long, slow lunches or evening meals under the stars. For those who enjoy a bit of activity, the island’s clear waters are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. A stroll through the old town centre of Zakynthos offers a glimpse into the island’s character, with its distinctive architecture and local charm.

Getting There and When to Go
