Things to Do in Zakynthos

Zante is the sunniest island in the Ionian Sea, with an average temperatures of 28 degrees throughout the year. It's a great place for all types of holiday – from family getaways to romantic escapes and everything in between.

The island has something for everyone: stunning beaches, lush forests, rugged mountain ranges and traditional tavernas.

The Greek island of Zakynthos offers guests plenty of reasons to come back again and again. The picture-perfect coastline is only the start when it comes to our Zakynthos villa holidays.

There are charming villages set back in the hills if you want the authentic Greek experience, and Zakynthos Town itself doesn’t hold back from delivering the bustle of bars and restaurants for the fast-paced getaway.

Blue Caves

Explore the Blue Caves along the island's northern coast. These natural sea caves are known for their stunning blue waters, created by the reflection of sunlight on the limestone walls.

Zakynthos Town

Spend some time in Zakynthos Town, the capital of the island. Explore Solomos Square, see the Byzantine Museum, and visit St. Dionysios Church, where you can find the tomb of the island's patron saint.

Agios Sostis and Cameo Island:

Relax at Agios Sostis, a charming beach with a small island connected by a wooden bridge known as Cameo Island. It's a great spot for swimming and enjoying the view.

Vineyard Tours

Experience the local flavours by taking a tour of one of the island's vineyards. Try some traditional Zakynthian wines and learn about the winemaking process.

Traditional Villages

Explore the charming traditional villages of Zakynthos, such as Keri, Anafonitria, and Volimes. These villages offer a glimpse into the island's rich culture and history.

Beaches in Zakynthos

With over 50 beaches and 20 miles of coastline just waiting for you to enjoy, walk these sandy beaches barefoot, then end the day gazing out at the gorgeous sea from the comfort of one of our villas in Zakynthos.

Bright white sand and tempting turquoise waters backed by rugged cliff faces make the beaches in Zakynthos some of the best in all of the Greek Islands.

Most resort beaches to the east and southern coastlines offer tavernas and water sports facilities, whereas the wild west coast is home to more natural and rockier beaches and hidden coves.

Agios Sostis Beach

This beach is located on the east coast of Zakynthos, close to the village of Agios Sostis. This is a beautiful sandy beach but there aren't any facilities there. However there is a small taverna nearby.

Dafni (Navagio) Beach

Dafni - also known as Navagio Beach (or Shipwreck Beach), is a small beach with a rocky cove, on the west coast of Zakynthos. It is one of the most photographed beaches in Greece for good reason - dramatic cliffs surrounded by mountains, black sand, and an idyllic-looking shipwreck in the middle of the beach. You might have seen the beach before as it was featured in Game of Thrones and Baywatch.

Gerakas Beach

Gerakas Beach is the longest, most popular sandy beach in Zante. Located near the main town, you can easily access it by car or bus. The beach has two different sections: one with a restaurant, taverna and lifeguards; another with sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent.

Agios Nikolaos Beach

This popular beach is a perfect place for a family with young children. The beach itself is beautiful, with soft white sands that stretch out along the coast under clear blue skies. You'll also find plenty of trees offering shade from the sun, as well as cafes along the waterline serving up drinks and local snacks like souvlaki or grilled fish sandwiches.

Nightlife in Zakynthos

The nightlife here is full of vibrant energy. If you're in the mood to dance the night away, Laganas is where it's at – the beating heart of the island's nightlife. The atmosphere is electric, and the party keeps going until the early hours. It's the kind of place where you can dance until your feet ache and make memories that stick with you.

For those leaning towards a more relaxed evening, Zakynthos Town is the go-to spot. Imagine cosy cafes, rooftop bars with stunning views, and seaside tavernas dishing out mouthwatering Greek food. The vibe here is lively but without the wild intensity of Laganas. It's perfect for those who want to soak in the atmosphere, enjoy a cocktail or two, and maybe sway to some laid-back tunes.

Our villas in Zakynthos are located in many family-friendly resorts which offer a variety of restaurants and bars. Whether you want an easy-going evening or a more upbeat tempo, you’ll be greeted by seafront bars, live music and authentic Greek dancing for you to enjoy at your leisure.

Food and Drink in Zakynthos

Zakynthos is a culinary paradise, offering a diverse range of dining experiences that cater to every palate. If you're a fan of traditional Greek cuisine, venture into Zakynthos Town where charming tavernas serve up mouthwatering dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Picture yourself indulging in classic moussaka, souvlaki, and fresh Greek salads whilst enjoying the laid-back ambiance of your surroundings.

Take a trip to the markets in Zakynthos Town to stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables for your Zante villa, which is equipped with everything you need for a self-catering holiday.

For a more seaside dining experience, explore the coastal villages like Agios Sostis. Here, you'll find charming restaurants overlooking the crystal-clear waters, offering the perfect setting for enjoying the catch of the day. Feast on grilled octopus, succulent seafood platters, and other Mediterranean delights.

Like all the Greek Islands, Zakynthos cuisine consists mainly of fresh seafood, meat dishes and vegetables. One speciality dish is ‘Spetsofai’ – a rabbit stuffed with creamy cheese and herbs which can be sampled in most tavernas on the island. From traditional Greek tavernas to chic beachside lounges, every meal is a journey through the island's rich gastronomic offerings.
