Holidays in Zakynthos Town

An introduction to Zakynthos Town

Holidays in Zante Town put you right at the heart of island life. Sights, shops, lively nights …they're all here. Spread behind a big harbour, it's the biggest (some would the only) town on the island. And while there's an obvious emphasis on tourism, you still get the authentic atmosphere of a provincial capital in Zante Town. Holidays here could see you climbing to castle ruins in the cool of the morning, lazing about at the lido in the afternoon sun, and planning a route round the music bars for after dark partying.

Summer holidays to Zante Town tend to focus on the seafront. Playing host to ferry services and round-the-island boat trips, the harbour stretches from one local landmark to another – the hubbub of Solomos Square at one end, the peace of Aghios Dionysios church at the other. Within the town, narrow streets lead into wide open squares – with bags of shops and a great range of eateries from fast food bars to fish tavernas. On a hill behind the town there's an amphitheatre for open-air concerts, and the historic Kastro – with fantastic views from its ramparts. And as this is the hub for local buses, it's easy to get to nearby beaches and independent exploration is cheap. Holidays in Zante Town make an excellent base.
