Zante Holidays

Zakynthos City on the island of Zante Zakynthos City on the island of Zante
Zante, also known as Zakynthos, is the third largest and most southerly of the Ionian Islands. It has an almost triangular shape with a coastline stretching for over 70 miles.

Most of the popular holiday resorts can be found along the southern and eastern coasts of the island, with the north of the island consisting mainly of mountainous countryside. Resorts such as Tsilivi and Laganas are well known party hotspots with Alykanas and Kalamaki offering a slower pace and more relaxed holiday.

Weather wise, the island is best visited between June and September where you will be guaranteed sunshine and average temperatures in the mid 20s. This is also a great time to visit to witness the rare loggerhead turtles turning up on Laganas beach to nest.

Flights to the island land at Zakynthos International Airport.
