Argassi Holidays

A seaside idyll in Greece

The quaint seaside town of Argassi is blissfully peaceful. Nestled at the foot of Mount Skopos on Zante’s east coast, it’s a picturesque destination with wonderful views across the Greek countryside and Ionian Sea. There are enough bars and evening entertainment spots to keep the whole family happy, yet it doesn’t feel too built up, making Argassi holidays a quieter alternative to some of Zante’s busier resorts.

The main draw is the kilometre-long golden, sandy beach, which is fringed by crystal-clear, shallow water – great for young kids. If you’re after a little more excitement, there are also water sports and boat-rental facilities. And if you fancy a livelier evening, Argassi is only about 4 kilometres from Zakynthos Town, with its cosmopolitan cocktail joints and restaurants. So whether it’s a sleepy Greek getaway or nights on the town you’re after, holidays to Argassi combine all the right ingredients.
