Zakynthos has become the place it is today following two major events. An earthquake in 1953 destroyed most of its Venetian architecture and had to be completely rebuilt. The reconstruction of the airport has been critical in helping Zakynthos become the tourist hotspot it is today, bringing tourists from all over Europe in their droves.

The major tourist area is Laganas, on the North West coast. It’s popular for its golden sandy beach, but even more so for its nightlife. A favorite amongst the 18-30s holiday goers, there are more than enough clubs and bars to keep you entertained on a two week holiday!

Zakynthos Town, the capital, can be found on the East coast. You will find the main shopping area here and the harbour, which offers day trips to Killini.

Kalamaki is tailored more for families. Although more low key than Laganas it is still full of life, and offers a golden sandy beach which stretches for miles.

Elsewhere around Zakynthos you will find pretty villages and breathtaking scenery.

Zakynthos is only a small island so it’s highly recommended to hire a car during your stay and tour the whole island. You will experience some truly amazing sites.

Ferries also leave regularly from Agios Nikolaos to offer day trips to Kefalonia, giving you the opportunity to explore more of the Greek Islands during your stay.
