All inclusive holidays to Zante


Table of contents

Zante, or Zakynthos, is an island of surprises. Soaring cliffs stand upon crystalline waters, beckoning scuba divers and avid sailors alike. With a wildlife refuge to nesting turtles, cosy villas and a thriving nightlife epicentre, all sides of Zante’s shores provide different perks. For those seeking relaxation, you’ll discover powdery beaches and sun-kissed resorts. While some resorts can become the centre of attention, it’s always a quick stop to Zante’s beautiful hinterlands for tranquil hikes and cycling adventures through traditional villages.

The top 5 things to see/do in Zante

1. Discover Shipwreck Beach

This highly Instagrammable viewpoint is one of the island's most dramatic. Located on the northwest tip of the island, the ship was stranded in the 1960s along a scenic stretch of secluded beach. You can visit from all angles by cliff, beach or sea. The earlier you come, the fewer crowds. Be careful when navigating the cliffs on windy days.

2. Scuba inside the Blue Caves

These gorgeous sea caves vibrate blue, creating one of the most serene swimming experiences in the world. Discovered in 1897, these caves were formed by natural erosion, producing a unique natural phenomenon that reflects azure blue across the water. It is like swimming through a painting! Visit in the morning when the light is abundant.

3. Relax on the beach

Zante boasts many world-class beaches with the most accessible resorts found in the south. Near Zakynthos Town, nothing comes close to the beauty of Gerakas, Porto Zoro, Kalamaki and Banana Beaches. They get popular in the high season for a reason; stunning crystalline waters lap perfect golden shores with ample sunshine and tourist facilities. For a more secluded and rugged experience, the narrow Porto Vromi Beach is a dream.

4. Visit the Byzantine Museum

This five-star museum in Zakynthos Town should be at the top of your list for cultural visits. Located in the town’s splendid waterfront plaza, it’s bursting with fascinating artefacts from the 16th-century monastery of St Andreas. The monastery perished in an earthquake but its legacy lives on with these rescued frescoes and paintings.

5. Go turtle spotting

Zante's most famous citizens can be spotted in their natural habitat. Loggerhead turtles populate the beaches of the Marine Park and breed from April to August. One of the most exciting ways to see these cute creatures is on a snorkelling trip to Cameo Island. Organised excursions are also available with experts who know exactly what they’re doing.

When is the best time to go on holiday in Zante?

Zante is a stunning Ionian Island with year-round sunshine. The summer months are the most popular, with scorching weather from June until August. It’s such a popular time that the island is populated more by tourists than locals. If you’re looking to avoid the crowds but benefit from the location and weather, try booking in May and September. Spring and autumn can be delightful times to visit, with leafy trails and quieter shorelines. Winter is the off-season in Zante with reduced services and attractions. Still, this might be just what you’re after if tranquillity is on your mind.

Going on holiday in Zante

Most arrivals to Zante arrive by air with direct seasonal flights to many European destinations, including airports across the UK. Served by Zakynthos International Airport, you'll also find connections to mainland Greece and beyond. Alternatively, sea ferries from Kyllini take just 1 hour, among other options from Greece. Once you’ve arrived in Zante, nothing beats the freedom of having your own set of wheels. If you don’t fancy driving, excursions are bookable and you can enjoy the scenic landscapes on foot or by bicycle.

Enjoy your holiday in Zante

Most visitors spend at least a week in Zante, offering ample time to visit the attractions and enjoy the facilities of your all-inclusive resort. At the very least, you’ll want to tick off the main viewpoints like Shipwreck Beach and the Blue Coves at a relaxed pace, giving yourself time to soak up the atmosphere. Given that the island is small and easily navigable, it doesn’t matter where you base yourself to see the sights. Zakynthos Town and the southern resorts are preferable, however, if you want bustling local attractions, bars and restaurants. It’s not unheard of for Zante-lovers to spend a whole 2 weeks on this gorgeous sun-kissed island. However, Zante is just as delightful on day trips for those cruising the Greek islands.

The Voyage Privé travel expert’s opinion on Zante

Home to iconic beaches that range from the bustling to secluded, Zante is an ideal break from modern-day life. Breath-taking scenery is matched by lively nightlife and a wide range of day trips to suit all traveller types. Looking for a listless poolside stay? Then, Zante is perfect. However, it would be a shame not to explore its stunning wildlife, which includes, turtles, butterfly forests and friendly seals. Slow down for a fun stay on this island of flowers and vibrant colours.

The lady in charge of the kitchen was very efficient and clearly proud of her food, which had a large variety and differed every night, was well presented and tasty. Plenty of seating. We had a late arrival and theyd set aside dinner for us (11pm) which was great as we were quite hungry! The poolside bar man was pleasant and chatty, and quick at serving, (also knew good english) Not too much to do in the evening, no games room or anything that we found, could perhaps offer bike hire as an extra.
