Called the "Flower of the East" centuries ago, Zante or Zakinthos, offers an island of contrasts. There is stunning scenery, white cliffs, sleepy olive groves and dusky mountains.
This picturesque, charming island has a
distinctly village atmosphere with friendly tavernas, shops and bars.
Laganas has possibly the best beach on the island, where the endangered
loggerhead turtles nest, and you've the chance to venture to famous
Smuggler's Cove.
Zante lies off the coast of the Peloponnese, where the Ionian Sea meets
the Med, lies Zante. Holidays to Zante (or Zakinthos) are perfect for
those looking for great beaches framed by an even more stunning coastline.
Clubbers and night owls are well catered for on a holiday to Zante with
Laganas being the focus of all the fun. A Holiday to Zante can also
encompass those looking for peace and quiet and families too - Argassi and
Tsilivi are the contenders here.
Modern bars, traditional Greek tavernas and boutique shops, holidays to Zakynthos' golden shores really do have it all. But, at the end of the day, it's the beaches that are the biggest draw for Zakynthos holidays. Beautifully tranquil coves, broad white-sand bays and resort beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Holidays in Zakynthos have got your needs all wrapped up. Sun-drenched days in secluded coves move on to nights in clubs and bars spilling big beats and 70's disco tunes into the night. Or, on the flip-side, days are packed with seaside adventure and evenings are a low-key affair filled with intimate dinners and quiet cocktails. Whatever you're looking for, summer holidays in Zakynthos are just the ticket.
When you rent a holiday home in Zakynthos through ownersabroad.org, you deal directly with the owner, who is your best source of information for local attractions, restaurants, entertainment near your accommodation in Zakynthos. Local knowledge helps to make the most of villa holidays in Zakynthos. But here is a quick guide to Zakynthos.
Tragaki, a sleepy little village, is the place to head if you're
looking for a real traditional Greek relaxed atmosphere, plus it's a great
base for exploring Zante's breathtaking scenery and resorts. Tragaki, ten
kilometres north of Zakynthos Town, is where people come to find peace and
quiet. It's a small village that is relatively untouched by tourism and
would appeal to walkers, cyclists, swimmers and sunbathers. For tourist
sights and shops, go to Zakynthos Town, easily reached by local bus.
Tragaki's handful of tavernas present a taste of traditional Greek-life and offer mouth-watering Greek specialities including plenty of fresh fish dishes or a traditional meze. Apart from marvelling at the amazing views, why not take a short drive into Tsilvi, approximately ten minutes away, where there's a wider choice of tavernas, bars and a gorgeous two kilometre ribbon of pale yellow sandy beach. This gently slopes into the shallow waters, making it ideal for familes and children. Tragaki's nightlife is fairly low-key and most people tend to linger on in the friendly tavernas with a refreshing drink or local glass of ouzo.
Alykanas has beautiful beaches, whitewashed houses and a welcoming atmosphere. This village is as traditional as they come. We're talking three sun-bleached bays, village houses that tumble, higgledy piggledy down the hillside and friendly locals who go out of their way to make your holiday. Authenticity aside though, Alykanas still has all the modern trimmings you could hope for in a charming holiday village – it's the perfect spot for laid-back summer holidays.
On the southeast coast, eight km from Zakynthos Town, Lagana is the largest and liveliest of the island's resorts. It is a magnet for lovers of nightlife who are spoilt for choice
Agios Dimitrios, full of rustic charm, is in the centre of the island near the spectacular mountainous landscapes of the interior of Zakynthos. Traces of an ancient temple to Artemis have been found at Agios Dimitrios although sadly most of the remains have long since been plundered. However, being in the centre of the island gives an excellent starting point for exploring in all directions around Zakynthos.
Car or moped rental is necessary to tour the island and there is a good road network here. Unfortunately most roads are badly signposted, so even with a good map you need to be careful nnot to get lost. The island's capital, Zakynthos Town, is 10 km away to the southeast where you can watch the fishing boats and ferries docking alongside the luxurious cruise ships.
Or nearer still are the two excellent beaches of Alikes and Alikanas that stretch along 3 km of the east coast. Alikes has one main street filled with a variety of shops, bars and tavernas, while Alikanas is spread out across the fertile plain. Further south is Tsilivi with its long, safe beach
Who could resist the stunning scenery and peaceful atmosphere of Alikes, whose away-from-it-all allure is irresistible? A small village, it has managed to resist the trappings of tourism and retain an air of authenticity. Named after the salt fields that surround the resort centre, sunbathing, walking and hiring a car or bicycle to explore the island are the most popular holiday pastimes in Alikes, and there are watersports on offer on the long, sandy beach. Equally popular with couples and families, with older travellers and young children, Alikes is an all-encompassing holiday resort for those who like tradition, natural beauty and a splash of entertainment.
Holidays in Tsilivi bring you bags of
bars and eateries, a fabulous beach of fine sand and a great range of
accommodation. Yet the resort's also a really genuine Greek village –
friendly, rural, easy going. And just 5km from the island's capital, it's
quiet but not cut-off. Small wonder that holidays in Tsilivi are such a
popular choice.
Perhaps a bit peaceful for party people, Tsilivi holidays seem just the
right tempo for couples and families. In the centre, there's a choice of
disco's, music bars and family-friendly karaoke and quiz nights. And the
variety of shops, restaurants, pizzerias and tavernas may surprise you.
About a quarter of a mile away, the beach will definitely delight you. A
broad sweep of soft sand slopes oh, so gently into a clear blue sea –
water's edge strolling grounds for grown-ups …sun-soaked playground for
children … watersports centre for active fun.
Zakynthos Town is the capital and there are two interesting ways to see the sights - canopied dual cycles for the energetic or horse-drawn carriages for those preferring a more sedate tour. Solomos Square – a large open area with graceful arcaded buildings is the main pivotal point - named after the famous poet Dionysios Solomos who wrote Hymn to Liberty, the stirring Greek national anthem.
On the edge of the square is the church of St Nicholas on the Mole whose bell-tower was once used as a lighthouse, and beside the church is the Cultural Centre featuring an interesting display of miniature dolls in national costume together with a photographic record of Zakynthos before and after the recent earthquake. The town was completely destroyed and you will be fascinated to see how everything has been reconstructed to its former layout.
The liveliest square however is St Mark's, originally a meeting place for
the nobility. This is a cosier square with friendly restaurants, tavernas
and souvenir shops to ensure its popularity. The main arcaded shopping
street leads off from here with rambling side street shops vying for
trade. On a crest above the town is Kastro, the huge ruined Venetian fort
– the only remaining historic site on the island.
The ruined walls contain remnants of several churches and there is an abundance of wild plants along with the vivid bougainvillea and highly scented jasmin. The walk to the top takes approximately forty-five minutes – 3 km away by road – but it is possible to cut through a small wood north of the town that takes fifteen minutes off the walk.
Even if you'd rather see whole buildings than ruined ones, the effort to
reach the top of the hill is worth it – the exceptional views over a large
part of the island will leave you breathless – as well as the hill climb
to reach it!
