Search hotels in Zakynthos Town

The city is gorgeous and packed with good restaurants. HOWEVER, there is absolutely not enough parking in its narrow cobble stone streets. I highly recommend either walking, or getting a scooter to go out for dinner.

Zakynthos is a very pretty Island. Laganas, however, is very touristy. The hotel we stayed at was very nice, but the neighborhood wasn’t particularly pretty. It’s perfect for people how enjoy nightlife though.

Zakynthos town is not very big . It has a fine esplanade to have a leisurely walk and admire the landscape the boats and the fine eateries along the waterfront . Dionysiou Solomon’s Square is excellent with its large open spaces and cosmopolitan vibe. Further along Marks Square is the highlight of the town with the abundance of world- class bars ,cafes and restaurants. A stroll along here leads to the pedestrian only road of Alexandrou Roma which is vibrant and beautifully lined with interesting shopping stores and cafes. One could stroll and see the town in a day however there are museums and places of interest one could take the time to explore longer. Driving can be tricky around Zakynthos town as many streets are narrow. There are car parking facilities however .We avoid driving in Zakynthos town ,we park on the outskirts and walk to our in-town destinations . One of our favourite bars in Zakynthos town is the ‘Base’ where one can view the beauty and vibrancy of the town from a large upstairs balcony while sipping an amazing cocktail or brew . Bochali , up high on the hill looks over Zakynthos town and is worth a visit to admire the views over Zakynthos town and also for its own interesting offerings . All business matters can be easily accessed from town but then a visit to Zakynthos is not complete without branching off in any directions to marvel at the plefora of pristine beaches, beach cafes and green undulating countryside. Zakynthos is an olive grove island and very ecologically minded as you will find when you seek out the local Caretta Caretta sea turtle and the dramatic cliffs , caves and resting place of the infamous Navagio shipwreck. We love the island of Zakynthos and hope to return again and again .

It's a nice and lovely seaside town, with big squares and nice restaurants. There is a long pedestrian street with many shops and souvenirs. It has an excellent marina and the town is big enough for long evening walks.

I would definitely recommend staying In Zakinthos main part (town). We traveled a little around but lots happening here from being able to rent a boat for the day and tour the swimming coves only accessible by boat, see caves and turtles in the national park, to the massive long strip of shops with different varieties catering for all ages. Kids, teenagers and adults with cheap and very expensive stores alike. At night, the town comes alive with trendy bars, cafes and restaurants with live music in the square or Greek music at restaurants, it really is worth the stay. We only had 2 nights and regret not staying longer

Zakynthos is a fantastic island. I stayed in Laganas to party during the night. But I visited the most beautifull beaches and places during the day. Snorkeling is amazing and I could easily spent weeks on the island to explore everything. Just google the tips because there is a lot to see and there a blogs all over to tell you where to go and how to get there.
