Greeka.com: Zakynthos Reviews - Greece and the Greek Islands

General: Truly amazing

We were pleased to stay in a beautiful hotel in Argassi last July. This resort is close to the town, quite developed with various things to do on holidays. Zakynthos has a good reputation, tourists are spread around the island, especially on the southern side but there are also few resorts on the north eastern. We...

General: A place for fun

The trip to Zakynthos was great but quite tiring. Four days in such a big island are not enough, although we all agreed that it is one of the best places to spend your summer holidays. Calm beaches and fantastic paths to walk through are some of the characteristics of Zakynthos. This island covers all tastes. You can find remote beaches, secret coves or many organized beaches with cosmopoli...

General: Enjoy the peace and beaches

Last year I visited Zakynthos, one of the most beautiful green islands of Greece with nice people and magnificent beaches. Zakynthos is much bigger than I thought. We traveled mostly at the eastern coast of the island with the peaceful coves and golden sandy beaches. One is Porto Zoro, it is very popular among the...

General: Zante has changed over years

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:46 GMT

We have been coming to Zante for many years and have seen many changes, some for the better, some not. Zante is still one of the most enjoyable islands in Greece. And simply put if you don't want to be with the noisy crowds, then it's easy: don't go to Laganas in the high summer season. Although the major tour com...

Beaches: Enjoy the silence

Loved the fact that Porto Roma was not developed, even better it was very quiet, the idyllic place for some privacy. I saw a lot of families coming there, as the shallow waters are very safe for children. The beach is small and it is a tourist attraction but it never gets really crowded (at least before noon). The crystal water combined with the green landscape offer a feeling of refreshment.

Beaches: Loved the sand and watersports

Not matter how many people will go to Banana, it never gets packed! It is such a long beach that you feel ample and spacey to lay your towel and relax. Children loved the soft sand and made some gorgeous castles! This was their favorite beach and my adult daughter loved the watersports. First time to ride a banana (on the Banana beach, ha!) and she is still excited about it. She keeps asking me...

General: Top beaches and water games

I just returned from a week long holiday in Zakynthos and I am already planning my next holiday there. My apartment on the beautiful coastal region of Limanaki, about 6 kilometers from the town of Zakynthos, was a charming one, perched in the middle of a verdant olive grove and very close to the sunny beach and a quaint little port. I did some beach hopping on the narrow peninsula on Zakynthos is the most beautiful island in Greece but only for its west coast that has managed to come out untouched from mass tourism. The southeast coast of the island is totally spoiled by mass tourism. This is not th...

General: Most relaxing days ever

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:46 GMT

It definitely has the best beaches I have seen and the best water colour: light blue! The crystal beaches, the wild capes, the fish food, the nightclubs... I had the best time for years in Zakynthos, probably the most relaxing days compared to much travelling... Yes, I enjoyed the fun of Laganas and the boat trip to the Shipwreck, but mostly I enjoyed the small villages we passed by whe...

General: Take the boats trips

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:46 GMT

We came by car from Romania, stayed 3 nights in Parga, 3 nights in Kefalonia and a week in Zakynthos. It was our first time in Zakynthos and we were trully happy to see such a wonderful island! Zakynthos is obviously more crowded than Kefalonia and more organized. There were places that were exclusively for tourists. ...
