Zakynthos Holidays and Hotel Information

Go on holidays in Zakynthos, also known as Zante, and visit the 3rd largest of the Ionian Islands. It has retained much of it's Venetian heritage and whilst the resorts themselves are largely man made, the natural beauty of the lush green landscape holds secrets of its past just waiting to be rediscovered and explored. The rugged green hills of the interior and the dramatic coastline, make Zakynthos holidays a must for beach lovers and night owls as well as those wishing to find some peace and serenity.

Perhaps the most the most famous landmark on the island is Smugglers Cove; a crescent beach of fine white sand surrounded by a dramatic cliff backdrop, and perhaps one of the strangest features to be found on any beach anywhere in the world; a ship wreck half entombed in the sands.

It's not only the Zakynthos holidaymakers who find the beaches an irresistible attraction. For as long as time has existed, Loggerhead Turtles have chosen Zakynthos as the perfect place to lay their eggs. Protected by the WWF, visitors can still see for themselves this miracle of nature. Added to all this, a holiday in Zakynthos still offers numerous watersports off the beaches, great nightlife in Laganas, culture and fine food in the Capital and the opportunity to explore by car or by organised excursions, the dramatic natural interior.

Beaches

On the eastern peninsula long sandy beaches are perfect for long days of soaking up the sun and enjoying the numerous watersports organised in the area. In the south, the beaches are protected by trees.

The west coast is far more dramatic, with steep cliffs falling into the crystal waters. It is here you will find small coves where, if you're lucky, you will find your own personal and private beach. Note: Smugglers Cove due to its location and lack of roads can only beach reached by boat.

Shopping

When on holiday in Zakynthos souvenir shopping is low key, so head for Zakynthos Town to pick up local and Greek crafts as well as some of the locally made produce such as wines, cheeses and honey.

Nightlife

Nightlife on holidays in Zakynthos like in all Greek islands varies from place to place. Laganas is the undisputed centre of 'full on' nighttime activities with pubs, clubs and local bars providing some excitement for all. Argassi is also very lively with Tsilivi offering more low key but fun opportunities.

On the rest of the island, Tavernas serving Greek specialities vie for trade with international style eateries. Specialities in Zakynthos, are Ionian in flavour with Saganaki (Grilled Cheese) stuffed vine leaves and pasta dishes being the favourites. You will also find all the other Greek dishes known everyone and some excellent wines to assist the digestion!
