The villa is seven kilometres from Zakynthos International Airport, or island hop and arrives by ferry at the port of Agios Nikolaos. Local cafes and bars are within walking distance, and minimarts with provisions for your holiday, are a short drive away. For an evening out, Xirocastelo and Argassi are noted for their fine dining experiences.

The villa is on the Vasilikos peninsula, populated with organised sandy beaches, and the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling. Highly recommended beaches are, nearby Argassi, and Tsilivi to the north, and Gerakas and Kalamaki to the south. A fifteen-minute drive will take you to the holiday resort of Tsilivi, with banks and supermarkets, cafes, bars, and restaurants, and a beautiful sandy beach. Have fun on the pedaloes, take to the water on jet skis, and the air with a spot of parasailing. Laganas is famous for its seafront shops, bars and restaurants, bike and boat hire, sandy shores and water sports, thermal springs and nesting turtles, and lively nightlife. Feel the beat at Zante’s famous ‘Pure Beach Club’, party all day to the vibes from their state-of-the-art sound system, and discover the delights of a Champagne Spray. Go north to the unique Shipwreck beach, accessible only by sea.

The island is renowned for its excellent hiking, trek the local countryside to discover nature’s flora and fauna. The main town of Zante is only five kilometres away, visit the Byzantine Museum, the church of Agios Markos with its imposing belfry, and the impressive church of St Dionysus, the patron saint of the island. Go on a guided walking tour from Solomos Square, and be impressed by the historic Venetian architecture. Shop in the souvenir stores, and sip an ouzo in a Greek music bouzouki bar, as you watch the world go by. Take to the water with a catamaran tour around the coastline, join a day trip from Zante harbour, or hire your own private yacht complete with the captain. Southwest of the island is Keri Lake, a village that combines the sea, forests, valleys, and streams, and is abundantly rich in agriculture. Walk through the scented pine forests, pick grapes and olives in season, be amazed at the bouquet of natural wildflowers, take a boat trip to the Keri Caves, and then dine by the waterside.

The picture-perfect village of Bochali has an ancient Venetian castle with stunning sea, coast, and town views, and a tiny church, charmingly named Zoodos Pigi with beautiful Byzantine icons. Make sure you take a tour of one of the many vineyards across the island, sample the wine, and take a bottle or two home with you. You may be there for the Zante Carnival, inspired by the island’s Venetian heritage, the festival starts with drinking and dancing, and ends with eating cheese – need we say more!
