You can take a fantastic boat trip to the islands’ famous Blue Caves where the sea waters inside the caves are a stunning turquoise colour. The caves are situated at Cape Skinari in the north of the island near the lighthouse. The boats travel right inside so you can view the magnificent marine life below.

Zante Town

Zante Town is reminiscent of Venice, with its historic St Mark's Square and Solomos Square lined with reconstructed neo-classical buildings. The picturesque town even curves around a bay, dominated by a Venetian Fortress and the St Dennis Cathedral. In and around the town, holidaymakers will find a range of activities to partake in, from shopping and sightseeing to visiting the excellent local wineries.

Argassi has a stunning mountain backdrop, a long sand and shingle beach and a wide selection of bars, tavernas and restaurants.

More About Zante

If you fancy Greece and your idea of an ideal luxury holiday involves a beautiful beach and a relaxing getaway, you should seriously consider Zante, which is also known as Zakynthos. Zante is the most southerly of the Ionian Islands and the third largest behind Corfu and Kefalonia. The island boasts mountainous landscapes in the north and gentle hills and rolling countryside in the south. You will find lush countryside rich with olive groves, lemon trees and bougainvillaea plus a stunning coastline and plenty of beaches just perfect for lazing your days away. Zante is an important nesting spot for loggerhead turtles (also known as Caretta Caretta turtles). One of the best places for spotting these amazing creatures is Marathonissi Island, particularly at sundown between July and August. Kalamaki is a peaceful resort close to Zante Town and within easy reach of the airport, ideal for travellers that like short transfer times! The beach is excellent and there‘s a wide selection of bars and tavernas plus there's a large waterpark nearby. Those seeking a more lively resort should choose Argassi which has plenty of clubs and bars, excellent watersports, fantastic gastronomy and a good choice of historic sights within easy reach. For a stunning photo opportunity, take a trip to Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach). Only accessible by boat, you'll find this is a very popular spot but it's well worth taking the time to visit. Other beaches of note include Alykes Beach which is incredibly clean and has shallow waters ideal for families and Porto Limnionas Beach with its crystal clear waters and a wonderful local restaurant that enjoys amazing views.
