Zante Town : Holiday Accommodation

Lying on the eastern coast of Zante between the beach resorts of Tsilivi and Argassi, Zante Town is a bustling harbour town full of typical Greek charm. The town is nestled between lush hills and the majestic Mount Skopos, with fantastic views across the Ionian Sea to mainland Greece. Many parts of the picturesque town centre have been tastefully rebuilt following a devastating earthquake in 1953. Today, Zante Town holidays are focused around two main squares and a string of sandy beaches, set against the verdant backdrop of rolling vineyards and cultivated farmland. A choice of excellent restaurants and lively nightlife completes a relaxing holiday experience, with the marble plaza of Agios Markou a great place to spend a lazy day soaking up the tranquil atmosphere.

Cheap holidays to Zante Town also feature the best shopping opportunities on the island, with local specialities including delicate embroidery and lace, handmade jewellery, pottery, leather and delicious honey. The serene Bochali district is a great place to take an afternoon stroll, with colourful flower-decked lanes and traditional tavernas. Walk above the town centre to the ruins of the Venetian Castro for stunning views across the bay, or spend an afternoon browsing the historical artefacts at the Byzantine Mueseum. Popular day trips from Zante Town include excursions to Marathonisi Island and the breathtaking shipwreck at Smuggler’s Cove.
