Laganas Holidays

Find your perfect holiday

A lively Greek island resort

In just a few decades Laganas has transformed from a sleepy fishing village to the Greek island of Zante’s answer to Ibiza. Home to a mile-long bustling strip packed with bars, clubs and lively restaurants, it’s impossible to get bored here. There’s an effervescence that underpins Laganas holidays, thanks to the youthful crowd that come here to dance the night away to tunes spun by internationally renowned DJs.

Despite its party reputation, holidays to Laganas aren’t just about nightlife. The local beach, which stretches for nine glorious kilometres, is not only one of the longest beaches in the Mediterranean, but also one of Zante’s loveliest. Its white sands are home to nesting loggerhead turtles, which you can catch a glimpse of throughout the year. Holidaymakers can also take a boat to nearby Marathonisi Island, another breeding spot for turtles. A place where the wildlife is as vibrant as the nightlife, this Greek island resort is about as full of life as it gets.
