The island is the third largest of all the islands situated in the Ionian Sea and is well known for being a centre of Greek culture. Indeed, the island is home not only to the countries patron saint but also the writer of the national anthem. If you’re worried that travelling to an island rather than the mainland might mean you see less of what Greece is really about as a country, if you choose Zante holidays, you can think again.

Even if the culture doesn’t excite you, it’s pretty likely that the amazing beaches will. The smugglers cove on the island is one of the most photographed beaches in the world and one stroll down its idyllic sands make it easy to see why. The cove is accessible only by boat but it’s a part of the island that’s too beautiful to be missed on your Zante holidays. A national marine park and the nearby uninhabited island of Marathonisi round off Zante holidays from a sightseeing perspective.

If you’re more interested in the nightlife however, there’s something in Zante for just about every type of holiday maker from simple tavernas and beach front restaurants to the much more party and clubbing style attitude found Laganas and Zante Town where the party starts early and often doesn’t finish until very early the next morning. Zante Town is also the best place on the island to catch up on a spot of holiday shopping between the busy nights!
