Spread the love for Zante

Zante 2025 will be the best season ever in Zakynthos, the Greek pearl of the Ionian Sea! Find out everything, absolutely everything that will happen from June to October on the island that gave birth to the poet Ugo Foscolo.

Do you know a place where a green meadow laps against the sea, a beach of fine white sand caresses your feet, the geometric lines of the rocks draw perfect harmonies with nature, the hot and cold sulphurous water takes care of your body, the sea mud regenerates your skin and the caresses of the wind open your breath and you can finally feel free?

This dream place really exists and it’s called ZANTE, a Greek island in the Ionian Sea, which is maybe the island with the most unique landscapes you will ever see. A popular tourist destination, which is fortunately still not completely explored. We will take you to discover enchanted beaches that are not often visited, where the sea has a such intense turquoise colour that it will open your heart. We will show streets where you can still see a flock of goats grazing, holiday resorts that are perfect for families, couples in love and young people looking for fun. A land where seaside restaurants with delicious, local food will delight your palate and give joie de vivre to all your cells.

Zakynthos is the most multifaceted island you can visit: if you are hot you can move to the north and find relief, if on the contrary you love the heat you can go to the south and bathe together with turtles. You can find peace and silence as well as the swirling energy of the night clubs, one day you can walk on a sandy beach, or on a stony beach on the other day. You can stay in meditation in your accommodation as well as you can participate in one of its famous THEMATIC ROUTES, which offer more than 50 activities, excursions, historical places to visit and new passions to discover. Legends are also awaiting you, such as the Legend of the Bridge of Lost and Found love. You can find everything about this fantastic island at www.zante.info, where nature and a new adventure in your life await you!

Useful news about Zante:

But let’s start by talking about the reason for this title: “Zante: the Best Season Ever”. Last year in October, as we were leaving the island, our friend Dionisio, from the Advantage bar in the center of Zakynthos, shouted at us: “next year will be the best Season ever” and said it with incredible joy that it was truly contagious.

We will return as usual to our beloved island and we think that perhaps Dionisio will be right and maybe there will be no more masks, pandemic prohibitions or restrictions and we will finally be able to say goodbye by shaking hands, hugging and greeting each other with much affection and through the streets of the city it will be really nice to walk with the sun warming you and joy in your heart.

You who read us will think that we are exaggerating, but we are sure that from the first moment you set foot on the island you will be enchanted. Whoever arrives in Zakynthos once returns forever, this is what happens. Life here awakens. An island where the sun, colors, nature, food and people will be able to reach and bless every cell of your body. Those who come here do it mainly for its sea and it really has a reason, given the beautiful beaches that there are, but the real energy of the island is given by the millions of olive trees that inhabit it. This site is a tribute to them, timeless millennial creatures we had the honor of meeting, many of which were swept away by arson, but still visible here in a breathtaking tree gallery [click here].

In order for it to be a really beautiful season, we would like to give you some little tips. Maybe you are tired after such a heavy winter, maybe you have little time, but please do not miss all the beauties of the island, which, if you stay in just one place, you will not be able to do.

In addition to the joy in the heart that is a gift received from the mother earth of Zakynthos, it is recommended to have a means of transport such as a rented car or a scooter or a quad but with an adequate displacement, since there are several climbs and often the road is slippery so it requires a lot of attention for driving.

The choice of the place for the stay in Zante

But let’s start with the accommodation, your “home” on the island. Whether you find a Studios / Apartments or a hotel room, a small house in a village or a villa of your own, pay attention to your choice:

Are you a family that loves tranquility during the day and a minimum of nightlife? Your choice is Alikes or Alikanas.
Are you a family who loves quieter places away from the noise? Your choice is Keri. Peace and tranquility will accompany you throughout your stay.
Are you a family who loves comfort, shopping and evening strolls? Tsilivi and Kalamaki are for you.
Are you a group of young people looking for fun? Excellent choice will be Laganas and its surroundings such as Litakia or Agios Sostis
Are you a diving lover? Surely Keri where the most important diving center of the island is located
Are you a lover of silence and regenerating sleep without ever suffering from the heat? the whole north-east coast is for you: Xigia – Makris Gialos – Mikro Nisi – Askos – Agios Nikolaos in the Northwest

The sea and the choice of beaches based on the weather of the day

The first thing you will do when you arrive will surely be a swim in the sea. The sea everywhere on the island is clean and regenerating. There are sandy, pebble and cliff beaches, so there is no problem for all tastes. You will find dozens of sites ready to tell you about all the possible beaches, but no one offers you any suggestions on which beach to visit on a given day, based on the temperature, the wind and the strength of the sea. This is why we suggest you instead visit this page Zante Weather and Wind [click here] every day of your stay, in particular to avoid finding strong wind that in recent years laps the island with more energy than usual. So if you wake up one morning and there is a great wind outside, know that there is certainly a place on the island where the wind is almost absent, just consult our page. However, here is the list of all the beaches:
