70 miles of sandy coastline make hitting the beach in Zante a real treat. This island is known for its washed-up old shipwreck, but its inland draws include quaint villages to explore, and a bar scene to rival them all. There’s plenty to enchant all ages, whether you’re with family or friends.

Sparkling emerald and turquoise waters have given Zante its reputation for being brilliant for a beach break. Laganas is where you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of sea turtles, while Argassi and Kalamaki are popular resorts with pristine stretches of sand. There’ll be water sports to try out too.
Arguably one of Zante’s most well-known landmarks is Navagio Beach, with its time-treasured shipwreck sitting pretty on the sands. It’s nestled within chalky cliffs, and won’t be hard to spy. The Blue Caves are another must-see, and are best enjoyed by boat. Monasteries, museums and festivals throughout the summer await inland.
Family-friendly attractions aren’t in short supply – who’s up for water parks and mini-golf? Parks with hundreds of acres are great for walks with the kids. If you’re more interested in food and drink, you can feast like the Greeks in traditional tavernas. Don’t miss Zante Town or Laganas Strip for bars.
