Zante —
A sun-drenched Ionian paradise, Zante (Zakynthos) is an island of contrasts—where dazzling turquoise waters meet dramatic cliffs, and lively beach resorts sit alongside serene olive groves. Famed for its breathtaking coastline, rich Venetian heritage, and thriving marine life, Zante offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.
Must-sees:
- Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Cove) – A postcard-perfect bay with powdery white sand, sheer limestone cliffs, and the famous shipwreck.
- Blue Caves – Sail or kayak through these mesmerising sea caves, where the water glows an electric blue.
- Marathonisi (Turtle Island) – A nesting haven for endangered loggerhead turtles, best visited on a boat tour.
- Bohali Hill – Overlooking Zakynthos Town, this scenic spot offers panoramic views and Venetian-era charm.
- Kampi Sunset – Experience one of Greece’s most spectacular sunsets from the clifftop tavernas of Kampi.
Culinary culture
Zante’s cuisine is a delicious blend of Greek and Venetian influences, with fresh seafood and local produce taking centre stage. Try sartsa, a rich beef stew in tomato sauce, or ladotyri, a tangy cheese aged in olive oil. For something sweet, indulge in frygania, a layered dessert of rusks, honey, and cream. Pair it all with a glass of Verdea, the island’s signature white wine, or a shot of locally distilled tentoura liqueur.
Good to know
Zante enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and mild winters, making it an ideal destination from May to October. The island is well connected via Zakynthos International Airport, and local buses link major towns and beaches. The Euro (€) is the official currency, and boat hire is a fantastic way to explore the island’s hidden coves at your own pace.
