Sun, Sea, and Sand, plus the unique atmosphere of the Ionian Islands...
Zante, or 'Zakynthos' is the third largest of the Greek Ionian islands after Corfu and Kefalonia. Its three distinct landscapes and vibrant beaches offer wonderful diversity for the visitor.

Zante is naturally beautiful and colourful. In Spring wild flowers suddenly illuminate the island, and in Summer the rich greens of vines and olive groves warm the visitor's eye. All year round a deep blue sea laps broad white sandy beaches.
Mountains, deserted and beautiful, rise on the North and West coasts. The central lush green plains resemble Tuscany's colourful rolling hills and red-roofed hamlets. The popular East and South coasts have everything a holiday visitor could wish for in the main resorts of Alykes, Alikanas, Ysilivi, Argassi and Lagana, where white sandy beaches are lapped by clear shallow water. There are secluded coves and bays to explore, and Loggerhead turtles nest in the more secluded inlets.
A Venetian-style capital, ancient olive groves and a picturesque coastline have drawn visitors for 20 years now and this gem of an island has something for every taste. The timeless village traditions of the tranquil north and the sizzling summer delights of the South draw our visitors to return year after year.
