Zakynthos (Zante) Beaches
If you have chosen Zakynthos, Greece as your holiday destination, permanent home or rental income investment, you probably know about its spellbinding beaches. They are the reason why so many visitors plan their vacation on Zakynthos (Zante).
In Zakynthos you can swim at long sandy beaches lined with chaise longues and umbrellas, and small coves that embrace sparkling blue waters. Some beaches, such as Navagio Beach, can be reached by tour boat from the island's major seaside resorts. Other Zakynthos beaches offer water sports facilities, cafes and tavernas. Zakynthos beaches are extremely lovely because they are surrounded by verdant hillsides or impressive cliffs. We suggest purchasing a detailed Zakynthos map to mark the island's best beaches.
The eastern coast of the island is packed with beautiful beaches where most visitors spend their days soaking up the warm Ionian sun and taking dips in the crystal-clear waters. North of Zakynthos Town are the popular beaches of Tsilivi (blue-flag), Bouka, Alikanas, Alykes and Xigia. If you prefer quieter Zakynthos beaches, visit Kato Tragaki, Ammoudi and Makris Gialos.
South of the capital town of Zakynthos (Zante) are the cosmopolitan beaches of Argasi, Banana, Agios Nikolaos and Vasilikos. After Vasilikos Beach, you will come across Laganas Bay, which is the location of the much-frequented beaches of Laganas, Porto Koukla, Porto Roma, Porto Zoro, Gerakas and Kalamaki, a major breeding ground for the Caretta-Caretta turtle.
The beaches on the western shore of the island are absolutely stunning, and are accessed by tour or private boat. Hundreds of visitors gather at the ’must see’ beaches of Limnionas and Navagio (“Shipwreck Beach ”), the most popular photographed beach on Zakynthos Island and one of the most photographed in the world, where people lay their towels around a shipwreck.
We also recommend taking a short boat trip to Marathonissi Island (a favourite Caretta-Caretta Beach ) and to the Blue Caves, where you have the opportunity to swim in spectacular azure waters.
