This is a large long and extensive sandy beach and gently shelving shore with sun beds and umbrellas supplied. Some areas of the beach are off limits as a result of turtles nesting and the seashore is closed at dusk for a similar reason.


A Walk Along The Harbour In Zante Town


Although a busy resort its much less of the all night celebration space than Laganas and is more suited to households. Most of its buildings and outlets are located on the primary road that runs between this resort, past the airport and in direction of Laganas. Like Laganas it shares a really long sandy seaside that stretches for a lot of miles across the south part of the island. The Zakynthos Informer is a Facebook group that was created in 2010.
There is a steep hill or steps leading from the cliff high to get down to the seaside. A automotive park is supplied however in busy periods this will refill.
Professionals base jumpers come to Navagio beach every year to leap with a parachutte from the 200meters rocks and clifs. Gerakas - the primary loggerhead turtle nesting seashore located on the far south of the vassilikos penninsula inside the whole marine excusion zone.





  • The square is filled with espresso outlets, bars and gyros cafés the place folks sit outdoors and take within the environment.





There's also a "shipwreck", a sunken wooden crusing yacht sitting in fairly shallow water which children (and grown-up children!) can wade out to and climb throughout. A walk of round 1km from Alykanas resort centre, via "Old" Alykanas village, brings you to the peaceful Xehoriati Beach. This slim stretch of nice sand has beautiful views across to Kefalonia and the Peloponnese, and shelves out very slowly offering safe swimming with a number of rocky reefs for fascinating snorkelling. Xehoriati is served by 2 restaurants vying to have essentially the most incongruous name. There's also a mini-market about 150m from the beach for snacks, chilled drinks etc.

Zante: More than a Party Destination. Zante has a reputation for being a party destination, but it's much more than that. The Greek island in the Ionian Sea has some amazing family friendly resorts and one of the most picturesque beaches in Europe.














Alikes/Alykanas - A lengthy stretch of beach in front of the 2 resorts with loads of services, sunbeds, watersports. To the west of the Skourtis river mouth is Alikes, to the east is Alykanas. The Alikes part is kind of narrow and in addition fairly stony in places, backed by quite a few bars and restaurants, mostly competing to be the least Greek.

Zakynthos, like its neighbour Kefalonia, was closely affected by the massive earthquake of 1953 and subsequently a lot of its gorgeous Venetian structure was sadly destroyed. The major town was utterly rebuilt and still has an uncanny resemblance to Venice's San Marco square; it's properly value having a look at. Zakynthos, as a result of gentle winter rainfall, is a particularly lush island; the Venetians referred to it as Il fiore del Levante-- the Flower of the Levant. Kalamaki - Located to the east of Laganas past the turtle "no build zone".
