Navagio Beach Viewpoint

4.5
(10621)
Scenic spot
Located on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Zakynthos, Navagio Beach Viewpoint offers a stunning vantage point to admire Shipwreck Beach. This famous cove is home to the remains of a ship that ran aground in the 1960s and has become a favorite spot for Instagrammers visiting the Greek islands.
The most beautiful view! Go once before sunset and second time after 12 o'clock at noon. Absolutely stunning water views! Be careful though with your pictures! Apply sunscreen if you go at noon! Highly recommend to wear sneakers instead of flip flops and sandals. At sunset the parking is mostly free but around noon it's an absolute nightmare to find place to park. The view is worth it though.
Антония М — Google review
A very impressive view. Plan on going 5 to 7 pm so that the sun is shining in the best direction, and there are no tour boats in the bay to detract from the amazing nature in your photos. The walk back is up a steep hill, so only try it if you are in condition enough to handle it. I would NOT recommend bringing young children because you will probably have to carry them up the hill back to your car, and the viewing point is too dangerous for them.
Alexander H — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely stunning spot! The views at Shipwreck Beach in Zakynthos are breathtaking — turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, and the famous wreck make it feel almost unreal. We were lucky to visit when it wasn’t busy, so it felt calm and untouched. It can get quite windy, so be careful if you’re feeling daring near the edge 😉. Definitely one of those places that looks even better in person than in photos. A must-see in Zakynthos!
Ricky D — Google review
Navagio Viewpoint is hands-down the most jaw-dropping coastal view I’ve ever seen, so breathtaking that I visited twice—once at sunset and once during the day. Each time felt like stepping into a completely different world! During the day, the turquoise waters of Shipwreck Beach shimmer in 50 shades of blue, revealing every vibrant detail, while at sunset, the scene transforms into a warm, golden spectacle that’s pure magic. I could also see and hear wild goats in the distance, their calls echoing through the cliffs, adding a raw, wild charm to the experience. The best views come just beyond the official barriers, where the scenery is even more spectacular, but extreme caution is needed—there are photos commemorating several people who tragically lost their lives here, so stay safe and avoid risky areas near the cliff edge. The sheer beauty of the scene, framed by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs, left me speechless—it’s an absolute must-see in Zakynthos. The viewpoint is easily accessible by car, with a small parking area nearby, but it gets crowded, so arrive early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the rush and enjoy the view in peace. A tip: bring a camera or phone with a good zoom to capture the shipwreck details, and watch your step near the edge, as the drop is steep with only a basic fence for safety in the main area. There’s a small snack bar nearby for drinks, but it’s pricey, so pack your own water. Highly recommend visiting both at sunset and during the day for two unforgettable perspectives of this iconic spot!
Hristiyan V — Google review
Amazing views if you walk past the gate. Some dude started yelling at people and telling them, "get back. Don't you understand that Zakynthos is an earthquake island". Well, if an earthquake hits, it won't matter what side of the fence you're on. Regardless, this spot lacked a lot, tons of trash, too many people, etc... If you want to have the best experience, rent a boat to see Navagio Beach!!
Edmond M — Google review
The place needs a bit of a workout. Installing some bins would be ideal for uneducated tourists as there are lots of bottles and rubbish at the edge of the cliff. And the fence should have a different design as it stops you from seeing much. Good parking lot but when crowded probably it is a problem.
Crina — Google review
First of all: The actual view is beautiful. Everything else - such as getting to that view - problematic. Just be aware of that. I can recommend getting there between 9:30 and 10:30. Not too crowded, parking possible. There is one big parking spot - if that one is full you can park on the side of the street. There are some shops where you can get ice cream or drinks. From the „legal“ path its basically impossible to get a nice view. And we all want that perfect photo. So sadly there is no real way but to go a bit beside the fence (safely!) to get a quick look. Obviously its very crowded but worth a visit anyways!
Marc K — Google review
This is one of the most famous beaches in Greece! It's on many postcards! The actual beach is now closed for visitors because of safety concerns as the cliffs have been collapsing recently. The view point is amazing! They have built a safe path to it! The views from there are just stunning 🤩!!! Highly recommend visiting! It can get busy so you need to get lucky otherwise just a bit of wait till your turn 👍. There are couple of coffee shops where you can get refreshments and ice-cream and have it while enjoying the stunning views.

Outdoor Activities
NAVAGIO,也被称为走私者湾,是扎金索斯岛上一个著名的卵石海滩,坐落在高耸的石灰岩悬崖之间。该海滩只能通过船只到达,拥有清澈的碧绿海水和一艘沉船,增添了它的魅力。帕纳约提斯号在上世纪八十年代搁浅,据信是为意大利黑手党走私违禁品,这也为该地区的昵称提供了来源。这个如画的环境提供了令人惊叹的拍照机会,是一个受欢迎的旅游景点。
Unfortunately, the beach itself is no longer accessible, but you can still visit it as part of a boat tour. The water has a stunning color and is incredibly clear, making it a truly beautiful place to see and enjoy.
Levente M — Google review
The beach is beautiful with crystal blue waters and white sand, but it's totally overrated. Also, there are minimum 5 boats in the bay at every time. Since 2024, there are regulations from the Greek Government to not let anyone go on the beach or swim nearby because of falling cliffs (and you can see rocks that fell on the beach on the sides). You can only stay on the boat as they will turn for 15 minutes in the bay, then go to another spot if they have swimming spots included.
Ana-Maria A — Google review
Always wanted to see this since I was a kid. Finally nice to have ticked it off. Shipwreck is cool but the amount of tourists is insane. Do prepare yourself for that. Best to hire your own boat for the trip as it will be more enjoyable. I would do that next time.
Tai T — Google review
Lovely viewpoint, very small area open to be able to take a picture. The queue for the viewpoint platform took about 40 mins. They are doing work in the area so may be better next year. Well worth the wait though, probably best to see from a boat tour.
Mary W — Google review
The place is must see. The contrast between the turquoise water, the white cliffs and the iconic shipwreck creates an unforgettable view
Kamila S — Google review
Iconic place, a must see both from the sea and the viewpoint. Closed to public from 2023 due to limestone landslide, no access to it by car, the viewpoint gets a bit busy, it’s a 10 min walk to the furthest point. Views are incredible. Mind the hike back up, it’s a paved but quite steep, can get kinda hard in the heat. Mind the shadow/sun on the beach for good pics. Water photos taken at 11:20am early June. Viewpoint photos taken 2:30pm. There’s also a military base nearby & you can see F16 flying around super low to the water - spectacular sight
Lolita M — Google review
This famous cove can only be reached by boat, and you cannot go ashore because of the shipwreck remains on the beach. Still, the view of the dramatic cliffs and turquoise water is absolutely breathtaking, and swimming in the crystal-clear sea right from the boat is an unforgettable experience. It is definitely a tourist hotspot and can get very crowded, as it’s one of the most iconic places in Zakynthos. Despite that, the scenery is so unique that it’s worth seeing at least once. Floating in the water with the shipwreck and cliffs in the background is something you won’t easily forget. A good tip is to visit during the week rather than weekends, as it tends to be slightly less busy. There are no facilities here, so come prepared — but that’s part of the adventure. Overall, a must-see location in Zakynthos for the incredible views and experience in the water.
Baran Z — Google review
It's definitely a must-see, but it's impossible to reach by land. The stunning color of the sea and the ship create a wonderful blend. However, going to the beach and swimming in this area is dangerous and forbidden because rocks can fall from the mountains. But I definitely recommend visiting by boat to see the scenery.

Blue Caves Zakynthos

4.8
(7272)
Located at Cape Skinari on the northern tip of Zakynthos, the Blue Caves are a stunning natural wonder. The caves feature bright blue waters that reflect the sky's color, creating an enchanting azure and sapphire light inside. Visitors can explore these large geologic arch formations and hidden caves by boat, departing from Agios Nikolaos or as part of a round-the-island cruise from Zakynthos Town. The largest cave, Kianoun, is a popular spot for exploration.
Superb caves with amazing turquoise - blue waters in all shades and colors. It can get a bit busy with boats coming to the same spot around the same time. There is also a swimming point very close to the caves that is perfect for snorkeling (many fishes there)
Ana-Maria A — Google review
Absolutely gorgeous place to swim from ,once boats have left,although I can imagine it being very busy in peak season.there is a makeshift board to dive into the crystal clear waters where we watched a pod of dolphins fishing. There are a fair amount of steps to traverse, so only go if you're able bodied. At the top there are 2 large carparks and eating places.
Isobella H — Google review
One of the best spots on the island, when the sun enters the caves, a very unique effect is visible, the water inside the caves hits the rocks and turns into ice blue before splashing back. This effect is only reserved for your own eyes, cameras are unable to capture it. 100% worth a visit!
Diederik D — Google review
One of the nicest spots in Zante, visited from the windmill stair that goes down directly to the sea. Can be crowded and filled with boats depending on the day/time, better be there early in the morning.

Good place to visit on a boat but book your own as I personally didn't like how they all put the boats round a turtle for an hour so you could see it.

The Old Olive Tree is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Zante. This ancient tree, believed to be nearly 2000 years old, exudes a timeless charm and serves as a living testament to the rich heritage of the Mediterranean. Its gnarled trunk and silvery-green leaves tell a story of resilience and history, making it an impressive sight to behold. While it may be just a short stop, the experience of standing in its shade is truly special.
Lovely experience, we joined the tour in the factory to learn about the olive oil process, very interesting and lots to see on the outside. Bring water and a fan as it's very hot with limited shade outside. We stayed for around 30/40 minutes.

It's truly remarkable to stand before a tree over 2,000 years old, steeped in such rich history. There's a small square nearby where parking is convenient. The area is bustling with charming local shops offering a variety of delicious, authentic local products. A must-visit spot to experience both nature and local culture!

The oldest tree of the island. Visiting it is for free. There are stores next to it that provides according products, so if you are interested in that, there’s probably something that you could visit too. The way this tree has grown towards every possible direction is incredible. It is worth a short stop to have a look.

It's an interesting place, but once you've seen all the olive trees on the island, it's not that impressive. But the fact that this tree is over two thousand years old gives you food for thought.

Porto Limnionas Beach

4.6
(7492)
Porto Limnionas Beach is a rocky inlet with clear blue-green water, surrounded by cliffs and caves. Accessible only by boat, it's a secluded spot popular for swimming and snorkeling. Visitors can rent sun-loungers from local restaurants with seafront terraces. Boat tours are available from various towns around the island, offering trips to Shipwreck Cove.
Very beautiful place, water is clear, beautiful blue /turquoise. The water is cold. There were caves where people go snorkeling. The beach part is actually a rock formation and you need to go down to reach the water and up to reach the sunbathing area. End of July you pay 20 EU for umbrella and two sunbeds. Staff is kind and friendly. There is no shower. Clean toilets with everything needed are available. You can reserve place in advance. Lots of people go there and finding a parking spot it's challenging if you come later in the day. Parking is available there and when full cars stop on the streets.
Nicole D — Google review
4.5 is a fair rate for this beach. It’s super picturesque with torques clear water. Great place for snorkeling. By the way, there is a rental spot for scuba diving and snorkeling. We also have had a great experience of searching and catching for crabs (I have released them subsequently). The only drawback was its overcrowds and dirtiness on the ground (mostly from smoking).

The color of the water is magnificent, changing throughout the day. It becomes more and more beautiful towards the end of the day when the sun's rays create some gorgeous colors.

Absolutely gorgeous beach and one of my favorites. Very good for snorkeling and it has shallow waters as well, it's gradual and it's ranging from 30cm to 5-6m or above. It's not suitable for kids since you can't really sunbathe and it's kinda hard for kids to reach the shallow water zone.
Mr F — Google review
Beautiful cove with cliff jumping and caves within swimming distance. Small parking lot with additional parking available along the road. Gets quite busy but it doesn’t take away from how incredible the spot is.
Brianna M — Google review
Porto Limnionas Beach is a breathtaking hidden gem on Zakynthos’ west coast, offering a unique and unforgettable experience. This isn’t a typical beach but a stunning fjord-like cove with crystal-clear, emerald waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. I was blown away by the vibrant marine life and the dramatic rocky cliffs surrounding the cove, which made every swim feel like an adventure. The water was noticeably colder compared to other beaches on the island, adding a refreshing thrill, especially on hot days. There are plenty of spots for jumping into the deep, invigorating waters, with rocky ledges and platforms that make it a paradise for thrill-seekers. A few tips: the descent to the water is via steps, so wear sturdy shoes and watch your step, especially with kids. Ignore any pushy parking attendants trying to charge for free spots—park closer to the taverna instead, where you can often get free parking with a meal or drink. The nearby taverna offers sunbeds for a small fee (around €5-6 for a set with an umbrella) and serves delicious food with amazing views—perfect for a post-swim meal. Arrive early to snag a sunbed and enjoy the tranquil vibe before it gets busy. The sunset here is pure magic, making Porto Limnionas a must-visit for nature lovers and those seeking a serene escape!
Hristiyan V — Google review
Very crowded, a lot of trash. But beautiful 😁 You can begin your diving here. A lot of fishes, 🦀 crabs and caves! Its hart to find a place to lay. A lot of empty bottles, cigarettes and other trash around. Nevertheless you must check it out 🫡 There are some cold streams in the water and different depths for different goals. Also you may rent diving equipment here. Hard to get into the water. The beach has jumping spot ~3-4m

Outdoor Activities
Laganas Beach in Zakynthos is a 7-kilometer long sandy beach, perfect for sunbathing and water sports. The shallow, crystal clear waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling, with the chance to spot loggerhead turtles. There are plenty of sunbeds available for relaxation and waterfront tavernas for a light lunch.
The absolute jewel in the crown of Zakynthos Island. The beach is massive and stretches from the main party strip if that is your scene all the way across to the much quieter Kalamaki beach which is a protected reserve for sea turtles. Whether you are looking for a loud party atmosphere or somewhere to chill with the family this place has it all.

Busy yet lovely sandy beach. The sea is a few meters from your sunbed (should you wish to rent one... 10 for 2 and umbrella) and as smooth as a pond. The beach bars are reasonably priced for a snack. A view to enjoy and if you like planes, a good spot yo see them come in to land!!

Laganas Beach is a wide sandy beach with shallow and clear waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. The area is lively, with many bars, restaurants, and water sports options, so there is always something to do. It can get crowded, especially during peak season, but the atmosphere is fun and vibrant. A great spot if you enjoy long walks by the sea, good food nearby, and a mix of relaxation and entertainment.

The photos are taken after a storm. The beach is covered with sand and a few clams. You don't need special shoes for going into the sea as the first meters are with sand and clams, but after that it's only sand. There are multiple restaurant/beach clubs which offer sunbeds for 10 euro/person, drinks not included.

The greek restaurant Porto Limnionas Tavern has a rustic feel, with its red roof-tiled houses clustered around a stocky 14th-century church, and offers delicious seafood.
Amazing place! Views are spectacular if you can get to the bottom beach area it's stunning, but still great views from top, very steep hill to climb down so avoided that! Only people eating food can sit at the balcony tables, so if drinking only it's an internal room, so advice would be to get food there and enjoy the scenery it's beautiful and worth it! Lots of sunbeds available too on the decking areas,
Wendy D — Google review
Well the setting is absolutely stunning, the taverna is located in a very beautiful location. We arrived just before 10am and there was ample parking in the car park (we visited at the end of June), the drive down is on a windy narrow road. There are terraced areas with sunloungers and cabanas that take in the wonderful views of the coastline, these cost us 30 euro for 3. A cabana is 40 euro. The loungers are comfortable and there is plenty of shade. You need to get here fairly early as by 11am all of the loungers were taken. You can order food and drinks to you seat, from the friendly young staff. We did notice one of the more senior members of staff constantly shouting at the young staff which seemed unnecessary and wasn't very relaxing. The sea here is beautiful but it can be quite chilly, beach shoes are ideal to climb in and out off the rocks. Unfortunately there is no shower to wash off after swimming in the sea. The toilets were good in the morning but needed a clean by about 3pm. The taverna served very tasty food but the service wasn't great, we felt rushed even though the place was only half full. We spoke to senior staff as there was a slight problem with the card transaction and they were very unhelpful, which was a shame. This place has the potential to be a 5 🌟 location but I feel the service let's it down.
Lizzy B — Google review
The setting at Porto Limionas is absolutely stunning the views and crystal clear waters are by far the highlight and worth the visit on their own. We booked a cabana which was comfortable and gave us a great spot to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. When we arrived, the lady who greeted us came across as quite condescending and even a little rude, which was not the warm welcome we were hoping for. The waiter who looked after us later was genuinely kind and attentive, which made a big difference, but sadly this wasn’t consistent with the rest of the staff. The waitress we interacted with also seemed unfriendly and dismissive. As for the drinks the cocktails were disappointing for the price. Given the location and cost, we expected better quality and balance in the flavors. Overall, Porto Limionas is worth a stop for the breathtaking views and waters, but the tavern itself really needs to improve on both service and drinks to match the beauty of its surroundings.
Jack C — Google review
The view at Porto Limnionas Tavern is beautiful, but the food was only slightly above average. We also felt a bit rushed by the staff, and the lady who welcomed us came across as a bit rude. The service could definitely be improved. For now, I’d recommend visiting just once, mainly for the scenery rather than the overall experience.

Beautiful bay, but very disappointing service We only wanted to have a coffee and a glass of water during lunchtime, but unfortunately, the staff was unfriendly and dismissive from the start. We didn’t receive any sweetener with the coffee, and when I politely asked for it, their attitude became even worse – as if we were bothering them. The bay itself is absolutely beautiful, but the poor atmosphere made us decide not to stay for a swim. We waited over 30 minutes for the coffee, which was overpriced and not even good. Several other guests around us were also complaining about their lunch, so we didn’t feel like ordering any food ourselves. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Please beware, they charge for the bread that you bring to the table even if you dont ask them to. A food is OK, I was not really the fan of it, however the wait time was a little bit too much, and the staff was not so kind either. There was always a huge line at the bathroom and there was no warm water or any paper towels to dry your hands. I would not really recommend it to be honest.

The food was excellent and reasonably priced – we had sausages with fries and a delicious Frigania for dessert. Highly recommend! Sunbeds were €20 per set (July 2025). However, a heads-up: while the setting is idyllic, some staff members are quite unfriendly and more focused on chasing away non-paying visitors than creating a welcoming atmosphere. Luckily, we were served by a kind and helpful young woman, a great reminder that it’s the people who truly make a place special. Despite the mixed service experience, I recommend Porto Limnionas and truly hope to return one day.

If you're on the hunt for authentic Italian cuisine in Laganas, look no further than Bonanza. This charming eatery is renowned for its homemade pizzas that truly stand out, alongside a delightful selection of pastas—all offered at incredibly affordable prices. It's no wonder that Bonanza consistently ranks among the top dining spots in Zante. Plus, if you have an Uncharted Zante wristband, be sure to flash it for some fantastic discounts!
We ended up eating here because we saw the place a bit crowded and the people must go to a place where you can eat well. The service was awesome, the waiters were very polite, helpful and joyful. What I can say is that the gyros tasted good but it was a bit chewy. The prawns with tomato sauce came half peeled on the backside, and you had to do a lot of messy work to get the meat outs mind you while fully covered in tomato sauce . The bathroom was clean.

We had a Seafood Pizza, some pasta and two times the salmon and prawns dish. The prawns on the pizza were not peeled. It looked like a pizza margarita with some seafood dropped on top and it had no flavour. The same applies for the salmon and prawns dish, the prawns were not peeled and also difficult to peel. The potato wedges and rice was also very dry. The salmon itself was ok though and the pasta was also nice. In general it was kind of disappointing.

Porto Schiza is a highly recommended spot for witnessing one of the most breathtaking sunsets. The staff is known for their exceptional politeness and helpfulness, adding to the overall experience. The restaurant offers delicious grilled squid with Greek-style baked potatoes and tender fried squid. It's advisable to arrive early to secure a table with the best view as it can get busy during peak times. Additionally, visitors can enjoy authentic Greek cuisine, warm hospitality, and a romantic ambiance while taking in the stunning sunset.
we traveled acroas the whole island just to catch the sunset there… it was such a memorable experience, I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. The same family has been running the place for 40 years, putting their hearts and souls into every table, dish, to every welcoming smile. the food was outstanding and the view… breathtaking. thank you for making our stay so memorable, I truly cannot wait to visit you again! :)

We had an amazing time at Porto Schiza Tavern! The food options are wide and local-based and the staff was really friendly. But the most special thing was the view, we enjoyed an impeccable sunset and a beautiful atmosphere.

Food was really good! Portion sizes were good for what you pay for. Service was really good and friendly- we had a 3.5 year old who was getting a bit restless and they immediately came over with a game for him to play. We went there slightly earlier than normal so there wasn’t many other people there. But the music was still playing and had a very good atmosphere. Thank you so much!

Gerakas Beach is a picturesque sandy beach with a backdrop of plant-covered hills, offering opportunities for swimming and sunbathing. The area is home to the endangered loggerhead turtle population, and there's an information center providing insights into their plight and conservation efforts. The beach boasts crystal clear turquoise waters and is considered one of the top five beaches in the region. It features a convenient free car park for visitors exploring by car.
So pretty, well kept and the turtles nest are just so cute! Free parking outside! Beach opens at 7am and closes at sunset to give the turtles some freedom and privacy to put the eggs. Water is very shallow and calm ideal for kids

Lovely beach, very busy so it's best to get there early. It's a large deep sandy beach but as you can appreciate half of it is closed off because of the turtle nests. The waters Lovely a clear. Three huge parking lots next to bars, restaurants and the turtle conservation centre.

Nice beach where turtles lays their nests. Part of the beach (Fortunately) is still reserved for the turtles, but it's still big. Nice sand and crystalline water, highly suggested Just outside there is a big parking spot and a free to visit small turtle museum to spread awareness (must visit)

Beautiful loggerhead turtle hatching spot even though we weren’t visiting during the hatching season. There were some people flouting rules such as using drones, but there were equally some weirdos telling people off without having a clear understanding of the rules. We were visited by the massage guys every 10 minutes once and it added to the anxiousness of the day. But the beach is shallow, beautiful and after speaking with the staff, hopefully gets more cordoned off during hatching seasons.

Nice sandy beach, we like to snorkel and tried to do that at the end of the beach where we noticed rocks. Nothing special from marine life to see. Warning - many nudist people here, they walk around with no swimsuits touching their private parts. We were disgusted. Don't take your children there.

St. Nicholas Beach, located in Vasilikos, is a popular destination for water activities and snorkeling. The sandy and shallow main beach area is perfect for families, while the rocky corner near the Agios Nikolaos Greek Orthodox Church offers clear waters and interesting underwater landscapes for snorkeling enthusiasts. Visitors can also enjoy flyboarding and jet-skiing, as well as relaxed shack bars and stunning sunset views from the church.
The best beach I've been to so far on the island. It's actually a sandy beach with lots of room to place your towel. Probably 75% for the public, 25% for a handfull of businesses. The water has a shallow entry, sandy as well. Free parking, depending on how busy it gets. Otherwise, you can park at the taverns around if you purchase something. Highly recommended!

Nice to visit but a bit to many tourists for my taste. Beds are 30 euro per set and that is high for the area. But the water and beach is good! Sand and kristal clear water.

A very nice Sandy beach, clear waters, plenty of people and sunbeds, but still a limited space for people to use their own umbrella and towel on the sand. Not as much as it should be, and the two bars have illegally placed ropes closing off a portion of the beach but that's up to the city to investigate and prosecute, and they wouldn't go against business interests over the environment and the visitors

Banana Beach, located on the Vasilikos Peninsula in Zakynthos, is a popular destination for vacationers of all ages. It offers ideal conditions for families, water sports enthusiasts, and those seeking vibrant beach parties. The well-developed infrastructure and natural beauty make it the perfect place for a true beach holiday.
Banana Beach has the softest golden sand. We visited in mid May before the season so it was really peaceful with only a few people there. Loungers are €15 - €25 for 2 for the day, worth it. The restaurant at the top of the beach has great staff and good selection of food and drinks and we could order drinks from the lounger. A wonderful lazy day on a stunning beach with the clearest crystal water.

Free parking onsite with very comfortable beach chairs for rent. There is also a free section. Showers, changing rooms, toilets and beach bar onsite as well. They differ in price from back to front of beach. We paid 25€ for a set of two chairs with umbrella, which is more or less the current going rate throughout the Ionian as we visited both in Lefkada and Kefalonia as well. Food and service were great and reasonably priced compared to other beach bars. The water is shallow and very warm so perfect if you want to bring kids or a family. There was nice music and vibes as well. Would recommend visiting! Corina took great care of us.

Nice, clear and clean water. Good service and very fast, the food was also very good for a beach! Sunbed pricing is based on distance from water - starting at €30 next to the water, all the way down to €20 further away. There might be a minimum consumption per person, of about €10-€15 per person, but if you get food, there’s no problem in getting to this. Overall, great experience, no wonder it’s one of the most popular ones on the island.

Shallow clear water running up to a sandy beach strip. Safe for small people. Access only from sunrise 7am to sunset due to nesting turtles 🐢.

Pedalos etc, for hire, along with sunbeds,& parasols - at €20 a hit!

Lovely, long and wide beach. A lot of the rear of the beach is roped off where the loggerhead turtle nests are. A lot of the nests are covered with a small wooden wigwam to protect them. The sea starts out shallow so it is ideal for children. On the day we visited there were volunteers excavating a nest and there was a small turtle starting it's journey to the sea.
Andrew W — Google review
It's...ok. It's not the nicest beach, if I'm honest, by my opinions, it's a bit of dive (and I'm not talking with a snorkel). However, I imagine that is due to it being a nesting beach, so there is likely little you can do to it in terms of doing it up a little. It's a nice walk from one side of the beach to the other, between Kalamaki and Laganos ( I'd say about 40 minutes but feels shorter). I did also accidentally got chance to swim with two turtles one evening (they are huge) which was nice. If you're in the area, it's not a bad visit - but I wouldn't make a special trip for it.

As you stroll along its shores or swim in the crystal-clear waters, keep an eye out for sea turtles that often grace these waters during early mornings and late afternoons.
Outstandingly beautiful place to visit and swim.. the scenery is beautiful, 2 nice bars to choose from on either side of the island.. only €5 to enter the island across the wooden bridge (a short walk over) which also gets you a free keyring with your picture for each person in your party! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a visit but beware it can get busy at the beach area (sometimes closed for private events so check first!) and take swimming shoes as the beach is shingle and rocky under water

Cameo Island is a place that is difficult to compare to any other. This small, rocky island connected to the mainland by a wooden bridge makes an incredible impression from the moment you set foot on it. During the day, Cameo invites you to relax in a cozy café with a breathtaking view of the Ionian Sea. If you're lucky, you might encounter Caretta Caretta turtles swimming around the island, which have taken a liking to this place. But the real magic begins when Cameo becomes a wedding venue. Weekends here often belong to young couples from all over the world. The island can be rented exclusively - the ceremony takes place by the bay, surrounded by white decorations floating in the wind, with a view of the sea and the setting sun. It is not without reason that it is said to be the most beautiful wedding venue in all of Greece.

Well worth the visit, although not very well signposted if on scooter/car. Great situation and scenery on a sunny day. Wooden footbridge over to Cameo Island, difficult passing oncoming people when busy, especially with prams,children or disabled. When you get to the island step off bridge onto rough ground then have to climb two sets of steep steps and then pay a charge of 5€ per person to go onto viewing point and small restaurant, this isn't advertised before you get on the footbridge! Definitely not recommended for young children, elderly or disabled. When you arrive in the bay there are countless ticket touts offering boat trips, which can be annoying.

“Zakintos “ The island is beautiful and definitely suitable for a holiday. However, staying in the same hotel for more than a week feels too long, as there is practically no offer outside the hotels, so it’s good to change location a bit. Before booking, it’s worth checking if the hotel really matches the description – I had an issue myself and had to switch on the same day. Otherwise, everything is well organized. A highlight is the trip to the turtle island, although it is overly promoted.”

We stayed for 12 nights just outside Zante town in a villa on the hillside. It was the start of October so the intermittent weather was to be expected. Hiring a car gave us the option to travel around a bit and do some shopping. Roads were fine, sometimes a bit narrow but parking a struggle so expect a walk in the town centre unless you are lucky to find a space. We ate out around 7 nights and found some real gems. Ones that stood out to us were... TAVERNA AKROTIRI: for traditional Greek food and amazing service and family run. Ill never forget the sample tray they bring out, very helpful, and the homemade vanilla ice cream, made with love ADEMAM; delicious modern food with low lit courtyard seating. The soup of the day was amazing. Definitely try the pressed lamb! ZAZU: tucked away in a back street, this tapas stye experience had everything. The food was delicious with traditional and new flavours. We ordered 4 which was plenty BELLO: an Italian restaurant on the front by the marina.

Where to eat

Under a 2-minute walk from Zakynthos, here are a few close by recommendations for when you get hungry exploring around.

Phoenix Hotel Zante Town

(727)
Hotel
Located in the heart of Zante's famous Dionysios Solomos Square, Phoenix Hotel offers a laid-back stay with stunning sea views. The hotel is situated next to the harbor and just 200 yards from the beach, making it an ideal choice for those looking to be close to the action. The rooms are simple yet elegant, featuring sleek cream and grey furnishings. Guests can enjoy free breakfast at the modern restaurant/bar and take advantage of loaner bikes for exploring the area.
Well renovated. Great staff. Managed my group of 28 very professionally. Rented rooms for a birthday and had many day trips based from their lobby haha. Planned a 40 person dinner on their beautiful terrace in the Solomon’s square. Was super nice with good service.

I wanted to reschedule check in dates to a few days after (I’m well before free cancellation) however the hotel did not review my request and took my money.

My recent stay at the Nikon Boutique Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and a genuine eagerness to assist, setting the tone for a wonderful visit. The lobby was elegantly appointed, blending modern aesthetics with classic comforts. It was clear that every detail was meticulously curated to create an inviting atmosphere. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, which I appreciated after a long day of travel. My room was a delightful surprise. Spacious and impeccably clean, it boasted a comfortable bed.

The room is a little bit small but it’s really well located and you will find a lot of lovely restaurants and shops next to you!! The cleaning service is not great as they just do the bed and they don’t even hover the room! The breakfast is good but there is not a lot of variety as a lot of the hot food is pork based!! But I recommend this hotel if you are visiting zante for the first time!! The location is perfect to go everywhere!!

The central location drew us to this hotel and it really was in the middle of all the action. Staff is friendly and helped as needed. Rooms are adequate and extremely clean. The breakfast buffet (included with our room) offered lots of variety. There is limited parking for hotel guests; however, parking is available within the surrounding area. Great access to restaurants and cafes as well as the waterfront. Would highly recommend a sea-view room to really enjoy the location of this hotel.
George K — Google review
Awful service. We trusted this venue for a family wedding and they massively let us down. Promised they would be accommodating and on the wedding day wouldn’t allow drinks to the room. DO NOT BOOK! Promises are always broken. Even when staying in the hotel they still charge €25 for sun loungers!

Restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Zakynthos, Prosilio Restaurant is a modern dining spot that offers a new gastronomical experience to the island. Chef Kristy Karageorgou and sommelier Yiorgos Kampitsis have curated a menu featuring unexpected ingredients and original combinations.
Absolutely magical evening. The staff is amazing, the food even more so and the price is a steal which made us tip generously instead. The visit to Prosilio really made our vacation in Zakynthos perfect, and we both wish to go back one day!

Simply amazing! From the moment we arrived at the restaurant until dessert. The atmosphere was enhanced by a DJ who created a great vibe without the music ever being intrusive. We enjoyed a truly fantastic wine, with an impeccable starter, main course, and dessert. Service was flawless. Absolutely worth the price.

We just loved this place and stumbled across it based on reviews. It's rare when the ambience, food, service and music are aligned for a simply stunning evening. The food is definitely creative and plating is gorg. Service is super friendly - Costadina and Stavros were great to get to know and we appreciated their recommendations. The restaurant wasn't even super busy last night as it's the beginning of the season but the garden setting was still magical with the dim sexy lighting. The music was the icing on the cake and honestly made last night one of my fave dining experiences - and we've been around! Kudos to the team - I would come back to Zakynthos just to dine here again! Definitely go! X

We had noticed that a well-known Norwegian public figure had visited the place a few weeks ago and shared very positive feedback. This piqued our interest, and we were eager to try it ourselves. The food was absolutely exceptional, and the tables were set in a charming courtyard surrounded by beautiful, natural scenery. The service was impeccable. Unfortunately, we had indulged in a rather large lunch earlier in the day, so we only had a main course. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend coming prepared to enjoy a three-course meal—or even more. This place comes highly recommended. Thank you for a truly unforgettable experience!

If there’s one dish on the menu you should order, it’s definitely the Sugo starter. I love that for every dish served, the waiters and waitresses give a brief explanation of what you’re about to enjoy, like how a course menu would be done. Very attentive staffs as well.

First I must mention that I am French and that my expectations might be different. As for my relation with time (and money). The place is great, the staff is friendly. And the food is exquisite. Nevertheless tonight it seems like there were huge organizational issues. For a table of 6, it took us 3h for a stater-main-desert. As I said, staff was very sympathic but we have seen like 5 or 6 of them. Not to mention the software issue where our orders had not been properly registered.This explains the somehow hectic service. All in all, taking into considération the value for money, i put a little 2/5 because with such prices (especially on this location), you should-could improve the expérience (As an example and like the icing on the cake, another (new) waiter had us pay the bill. Bill totally in Greek so impossible to check and then it was automatically selecting a 15% tip that we refused. We would have rather considered apologies for the long service and some shots tbh.)

Restaurant
Kostas Brother is a remarkable, concealed oasis with impeccable service. Despite an inexperienced and anxious server, they managed to excel at their job even when we were the ones who made a mistake with our order. The appetizers were delectable, especially the cheese pies and courgette fritters, although the squid was slightly overpriced compared to local standards in Zante. The ambiance was absolutely charming, enhanced by pleasant live music that didn't overwhelm.
Very beautiful place with cats everywhere. The food was delicious, I recommend the starter for 1 person, everything was homemade. Main dish was excellent and very tasty. We received watermelon after dinner, nice gesture! There were two guys singing and playing mandoline and guitar, amazing atmosphere. Thank you!✨

We saw the restaurant sign on our way to the beach, checked the reviews, and since they’re so good we stop on our way back. It didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere in their garden was a 10, the food was delicious, good portions too. I would suggest booking in advance if possible since we were lucky enough to walk in and get a table, but most of them were booked.

If you’re looking for more than just a meal but a truly authentic Greek experience, this taverna is the place to be. From the very first visit, when my future wife and I tried the lamb, moussaka, and octopus, we felt as though we’d stumbled upon something unique and unforgettable. Each dish was not only delicious but prepared with a touch of care and tradition that made the flavors stand out. On our most recent visit, I decided to try the pork chop and pork souvlaki. Coming from a country where pork recipes are deeply rooted in our culinary traditions, I wasn’t expecting to be impressed — but I was proven completely wrong. The meat was grilled to perfection: soft, tender, juicy, and yet fully cooked. The portions were so generous we couldn’t finish them and happily took some to go. What elevates this place far beyond the food is the people. The owner took the time to meet and greet us, instantly connecting with us on various topics while generously sharing the cooking secrets behind their incredible dishes. Alexandros explained how their octopus turns out so tender on the grill, and how the lamb is slowly prepared to perfection before serving. Conversations like these made us feel more like family than customers. Over multiple visits, that feeling has only grown stronger. Each time we’re welcomed with genuine smiles and enthusiasm from the owner, his father, and the entire team. Our server Christov added another layer to the experience — with thoughtful recommendations that sometimes surpassed our own choices, enriching the whole dining journey. The taverna is always bustling, and for good reason, but we’ve always managed to find a table for two even without a reservation. That, paired with the warmth of the staff, left me truly feeling special every time we dined here. This is not just a restaurant — it’s a place where you come as a guest and leave as a friend. Wholeheartedly recommended.
Teodor R — Google review
If you’re in Zakynthos and want to experience real Greek hospitality, Kostas Brother is a must! The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, the mousaka was rich and comforting, and the octopus was simply unforgettable. What amazed me most is that everything our waiter promised about the dishes turned out to be true — no exaggeration, just honesty served on a plate. We weren’t treated like “customers,” but like friends and family sharing a meal. And then, as if the food wasn’t enough, the atmosphere came alive with live Greek music, sung straight from the heart by the owner and his brother. Their voices, sincerity, and warmth filled the night with something magical. The whole place feels natural and green, like dining inside a little piece of paradise. Now, for the “cons” (which aren’t really cons at all): Portions are generous, you may need a small siesta before moving again. The music is so joyful you might find yourself clapping along before you realize it. The friendliness is dangerously addictive — you might just want to move in and never leave. In short, we loved everything. If you want delicious food, genuine people, and a place that feels like home, don’t miss this taverna.

We visited twice in a week. This restaurant is very popular with live music. It can be busy. Serving team are friendly and excellent English. They are attentive, at least until all the food is served, but then can drift due to the large numbers of covers. Food is very nice. We enjoyed all our meals. Atmosphere very lively for a small village and hugely enjoyable.

Very nice garden patio with bougainvillea flowers. Right next to banana beach clubs, so it is nice place have dinner after a long beach session day. You can immediately notice it is old hard working family establishment. Local cousins and selection of local cheese which i don’t see often in the other island restaurants. Around 10pm owner and i guess a friend of his starting play bouzouki and guitar which is nice for a enjoyable evening. Highly recommended if you are nearby part of the island. Reservation is recommended.

Fine dining restaurant Essence is a must-go for anyone visiting Kalamaki. The amazing food and breathtaking views are unmatched in the area. The wine list is top-notch as well.
Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed this restaurant. Great outdoor seating, very quiet and sophisticated. More of a classy dining experience. Lemon & ginger still water on the house. And also a special octopus dish on the house! Extremely great price for the food and experience. Thanks.

My partner and I visited Essence on our first evening after falling in love with the place when we walked past. We made a reservation and indeed, were very warmly welcomed into the restaurant, which was very much appreciated and immediately put us at ease. Both ladies looking after us were very kind in helping us choose our food items, and they made sure everything was okay throughout - but without us feeling as if our personal space was being invaded. The food was absolutely exceptional. The ambience was very very special as well: Beautiful birds tweeting amongst glistening fairy lights as the last of the summer sun set. We loved it so much that we visited for a second evening, and everything remained 10/10! (A rare surprise nowadays). Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. P.s., we felt the prices were definitely lower than the whole quality and experience, which is why we tipped on both evenings. In England we would have for sure been expected to pay at least 150-175 for the whole food and experience.

Finally, after being a bit disappointed with other restaurants in Kalamaki I found this gem and visited twice. This is a fine dining experience and therefore the prices are a bit higher compared to other restaurants in the area, but the quality, service and atmosphere are so much better. This is the best restaurant that I found in Kalamaki during my stay, absolutely recommended.

Visited Essence for our second experience of the holiday our last night. This time instead of having a starter and a main course we decided to stick to the tapas having six dishes between the two of us. Prior to getting our order we had the on the house food aperitif to get the taste buds going. The dishes we decide to have were: Cauliflower steak (cooked thick slice of cauliflower in light spices, Greek yogurt, egg, breadcrumbs) Crab Kataifi (hand picked crab meat rolled and fried in Kataifi pastry, sesame mayo) Sea bass sashimi (cured sea bass with soya and sesame seed sauce which I think has treacle mixed in with it) Albondigas (duck meatballs, almond aioli, fresh mint) As I said we had six dishes so to make it up to six we had two off the crab Kataifi and ordered up the Paella arancini (seafood rice croquettes, tomato confit, Parmesan. For drinking we had a bottle of wine Service was great, food was great, and the ambiance was great. A very nice place to have a special meal. Will be back again.

Perched on the cliffs near Keri village in Zakynthos, the Keri Lighthouse Restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea and the Keri Caves and Cliffs. The restaurant's terrace provides a romantic setting to enjoy stunning sunsets over the deep blue sea. Visitors can capture memorable photos against the backdrop of vibrant sunsets and admire the two huge rock cones, known as Mizitres, flanked by a deserted island rising from the blue sea.
The food was excellent, and although the service was a bit slow at first, everything was resolved quickly. The view and the charm of this restaurant are truly magical. It’s very aesthetic and has a special ambiance. The staff was kind, and they even filleted my sea bass for me. As a small suggestion, they could invest a bit more in the bathroom area, as it doesn’t quite match the overall experience.

We had a lovely meal at Keri Lighthouse Restaurant with an incredible view over the sea and cliffs — absolutely breathtaking during sunset. We ordered a traditional Greek salad, fresh fish, and lamb. The salad was crisp and refreshing, with generous chunks of feta and ripe tomatoes. The fish was grilled to perfection - simple, flavorful, and fresh. The lamb was tender and full of rich, savory flavor. Friendly staff and a peaceful atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommend for both the food and the unbeatable view!

Ok so going into my visit at the Keri lighthouse I had high hopes for the experience and glad to say they were largely met. Let’s start with the view, we booked for food about few days in advance and good god. AMAZING views like I’m sure if you’re visiting here you’ve seen it but it’s truly as good as it looks online - perhaps better. I found the service to be lovely, all the gents went out of their way - especially what looked to be the host in helping us get a taxi hope - do yourself a favour if you’re not driving BOOK a taxi there and back in advance.. we were waiting about an hour for a taxi. Food was pretty good price wise compared to Ireland I found it about the same as a normal restaurant here - €20-40 for a main starters about €11-13, €35 for a bottle of wine. It was our only “dinner out” as we had all inclusive so I can’t compare to other restaurants in the locality. We got the steak and the lamb shank for our mains, I LOVED the lamb shank - might have been some of the best lamb I’ve ever had. The steak had a lovely flame grilled flavour - it was a tad overcooked but the grill flavour made up for that - a bit of additional seasoning wouldn’t have gone a miss but all and all a good steak. Some reviews don’t speak highly of the food here I have to say the mains were great. Starters we had the meat balls, some bread and chips - all of which were just fine We loved.. and I mean LOVED the Greek wine that we got. We ended the dinner with some lovely cocktails. Throughly enjoyed the evening.

The Olive Press Museum Zante, located a few kilometers from the airport in Zakynthos, offers visitors an immersive experience into the history and production of olive oil. The tour takes you through centuries of olive oil making, showcasing antique implements like wooden presses and grindstones alongside modern stainless steel vats and centrifuges. Visitors can learn about the art of olive oil making and sample local oils with fresh bread.
A Magical Experience Such a magical place! The olive oil tasting was delightful, and there’s a great selection of products available for purchase. The setting is incredibly picturesque — with olive groves surrounding the factory and majestic mountains in the background. The people were warm and welcoming. Highly recommended for a visit!

First stop on a day long tour with TUI and we found it really interesting. The guide from the museum was clearly spoken and very informative and explained the whole process from the local farmers bringing in their olive harvest to the end product of olive oil and the options the farmers then have. The tasting session at the end of the tour was also very enjoyable.

It's ok to go there and see how it's all made and to taste. It's free entry. Only if you expect to buy the olive oil for a good price you are mistaken. Your better of tasting there and buying it in the local shops because the prices are far to high even though they make it themselves. Check the photo it will prove to you that I am correct.

Nice experience. A small tour in a real factory. You start outside where you find some old machines how they pressed olive oil in the past. Information signs give information about this equipment. When following the route you go inside the factory, were you the unloading dock of the olives, the cleaning, pressing, separation and water separation machines for cold pressed extra vergine olive oil. At the end of the tour you can taste different olive oils, olives and tapenade. Verg kind employees walk with you to explain the different equipment and the process. All is for free. At the tasting station you can also buy different olive oils and products. The real olive pressing seasons starts from about half of October till February. This is done inside this factory.

Water & Amusement Parks
Zante Water Village, located in Sarakinado on the mainland, is an outdoor water park suitable for all ages. The park offers a variety of attractions including towering slides like the 3 octopus slides, Slippery Rabbit and Boomer Bowl. Families can relax on the 300-meter-long Lazy River or experience an adrenaline rush in the Black Hole.
The water slides were incredible – we had so much fun zooming down them! The lazy pool and swimming pool were great, and the cleanliness of the facilities was top-notch. With plenty of sunloungers available, we could relax and enjoy the sun – a fantastic day out! The food was okay, but the best part was that we didn't have to wait long to get it. What really made our visit stand out was that it wasn't busy at all, which made for a really relaxed and enjoyable experience. Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this water park!

From heart-stopping plunges like the Free Fall Plus and Kamikaze to the thrilling Boomer Bowl and head-first Mat Racer, there’s non-stop excitement for all adrenaline levels.    Cleanliness here is top-notch—everywhere felt immaculately clean and tidy, and the lifeguards were attentive, which made the whole experience feel safe and relaxing.   The atmosphere? Perfect. Easy to spend all day in the sun, lounging on free sunbeds under umbrellas, riding the relaxed 300-meter Lazy River, and enjoying the laid-back vibe with minimal queues and plenty of space to chill.

A beautiful aqua park with facilities for all ages. The prices are very fair. The atmosphere is excellent. Large and small swimming pools, slides, a relaxing river surrounded by palm trees and flowers, a jacuzzi and a lot more...

A great day out. Water park was clean and staff were incredibly hard working. FUN FACT : There are two pool bars that only take cash and as a result were not very busy... so take some cash to avoid the long queues. Price of food and drink very reasonable. We booked our trip through Peters Tours, so a coach picked us up from our Hotel (Diana Palace Hotel) and took us back at the end of the day. I'm giving the attraction a four because of the fake La Bu Bu toys on sale. My daughters were desperate and as a surprise, we bought them one each at 15 euros each. Terrible fake imitations and a terrible let down to the end of an awesome day.

Fun waterpark. Variety of slides. Probably only need about 4 hours there. Plenty of sun beds, was very quiet when we went, ? Due to location. Good priced food there. Lockers €5 with €1 back if key returned

Brilliant place, clean and so many options to choose from. Great for families, kids of all ages and adults too. The eatery can get busy at times but they are working at super speed so a little waiting but it's okay.

Decent size water village which is larger than the one in Tsilivi. Was a queue to get in as many coaches arrived at once. Plenty of sun loungers and a wide selection of pools and slides for all ages.

Good value for families, but organization could improve Rating: 4/5 stars I booked our tickets through My Tours, who arranged the booking. On arrival, the ticketing area was extremely disorganized and we ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter despite having pre-purchased tickets. That delay lowered the experience a bit. A practical tip: bring your own towel, as towels aren’t provided. The place is nice and compact, with shorter queues compared with larger parks, which is great for families with kids. Food was decent, but there are no halal options available on the island—the options elsewhere are better, though you can find some good choices overall. Overall, worth trying, especially for families, but be prepared for some organizational hiccups.

Taverna Keri

Greek restaurant
Taverna Keri is a popular spot in Keri Beach, open throughout the summer for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It offers a relaxing seaside dining experience with views of Marathonissi island. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is consistently good. The upstairs area provides great views over the bay, although it can get quite crowded. The restaurant's location makes it convenient for visitors exploring Keri caves and Marathonisi island.
Staff were friendly from the beginning, as soon as you walk through the door. The tavern is right by the sea and has great views! The food was amazing! And don’t skip ordering their fresh orange juice! Perfect for this weather!

Beautiful taverna with a stunning view, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. Everyone was being attacked by mosquitoes because there's a stagnant water next door, and a regular gave us some mosquito repellent. I ordered a fish dish and left it because the quality was like frozen from the supermarket. Dry, tough, and tasteless. My wife's too, but it was still edible. For 20 euros, I don't expect much, but I left it. I guess I'm used to better. We saw that the "no smoking" signs didn't apply to the chef. The 2 and 3 picture is fresh from a other taverne same price, we know kwality to find!

Super delicious and flavorful food, especially the musaka! But unfortunately the fried calamari is not tender and misses some sort of dips, we think. Staff (or owner) is very sweet and welcome. The location is unfortunately very noisy because of all the quad bikes.
Nirvadana R — Google review
The team was really great and the sitting area was great but the same does not go for the food. Our octopus was cold and I personally do not understand why they served red mullets and calamari with french fries. Ok for casual dining but would not recommend it.
Tugce T — Google review
Ate here last night and decided on just ordering a few starters and a few drinks. The food was absolutely amazing and there was so much of it. Shrimps were bigger than King prawns with rice and whatever they were marinated in was amazing. Mushrooms and garlic bread and salad. Wouldn’t have managed a meal after that .

Excellent food and service. If you search for exceptional experience - go to Taverna Keri! We took a table on the balcony and it was good choice because we had better view to the harbour.

The service was good but our food wasn’t. The mixed grill is below average while the price is way higher than it should be. Not recommend. 最好别来

Ole Ole restaurant is a beloved dining spot in Zakynthos, offering delicious Greek cuisine and top-notch service. The charming ambiance, resembling a decorated garden, adds to the overall dining experience. Visitors can enjoy not only delectable food but also the possibility of witnessing a Greek dance performance. The restaurant's beautiful garden provides ample space for guests, with additional amenities such as a playground for children.
Absolutely love this restaurant! The food is so fresh, delicious and cooked to perfection! The drinks are amazing. The service is 10/10!!!! If you want a quieter more intimate atmosphere lunch time is perfect! But the party gets started in the evening, the staff is always so happy, chatty and are just so lovely! This is my favourite restaurant ever!
Ellie M — Google review
Been there 5 nights now. Delicious food, great atmosphere and very friendly service. A real family restaurant. Even when it starts to rain they manage to get everyone sheltered, it was very cosy. The mixed grill is enough for the biggest appetite. But if you have room for more, the desserts are amazing ! Tiramisu, the best I ever had. Chocolade cake, just wow. Baklava, to die for. I might go back tomorrow for my last meal this holiday. Yamas.

Delicious food – everything fresh and perfectly seasoned, just like a homemade Greek meal. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. The garden is beautiful, a perfect spot to enjoy your meal in the shade. The whole place has a truly unique and relaxing vibe.

Ole Ole is an amazing family run Taverna in Zakynthos. From the minute you arrive you are greeted with a warm welcome and shown to a table. The restaurant is very popular so always busy so a good idea to book in advance, especially if you are a large party, to avoid disappointment. The staff are very friendly and many speak several languages. There is a large selection on the menu all of which I tried were delicious. This is my second year staying in Agios Sostis and I ate at Ole Ole every evening, I was remembered and greeted like a friend each time. I’m hoping to return to the resort next year and will definitely be eating here again! Can’t recommend enough!

We only stayed in Zakynthos for 3 nights, but we ate here twice, and were so sad to not have gone for a 3rd time. Prices are reasonable, food is amazing and the atmosphere is gorgeous. We will definitely return on our next trip - the Octopus Stifedi and Seafood Tapa are highly recommended.

It’s a lovely restaurant! The vibes were really cozy. Our waiter was kind and so was the owner. The prices were similar to the restaurants nearby. Our food came out quickly and was amazing. I would definetly recommend this place!

Super nice family restaurant! I went to Zakynthos with my parents for a week and we ate at ole ole 4 times that week. Very friendly staff and super tasty food. When we came in and left we were greeted friendly and thanked with a hand. The taverna is beautiful with all the flowers and lights which makes it very cozy and snug. So if you want to go to a restaurant where it is cozy, snug, friendly staff and tasty food, then you should definitely go to ole ole! You should not miss this if you are on Zakynthos!

Nestled in a superb location, Κτήμα Γράμψα (Grampsas Winery & Restaurant) offers an unparalleled dining experience amidst the vines. With a cozy and intimate setting of only 25-30 seats, guests can expect personalized attention from the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food is prepared with passion and care, offering fresh and flavorful dishes that showcase attention to detail.
We had dinner and a tasting at the winery, everything was amazing, the staff was super friendly and helpful and even gave us an impromptu tour! I would suggest shared dining so you can try more of their delicious food, really delicious food, it all tasted amazing! The staff was super accommodating. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who gets to go to Zakynthos. It's an oasis away from the noise. I felt rejuvenated after my visit.

Sophia and Maria were the most amazing hosts! The wine tasting is well worth the trip, but the light menu was exceptional! The best salad we had on the island and the mushrooms and beef carpacio where amazing 👏

Simply amazing! We visited for wine tasting and some nibbles on a hot afternoon and it was great to sit below the grapes and have some chilled white wine. The sommelier was really nice too and explained everything to us. I would highly recommend a visit though keep in mind that it’s aimed towards a mid to high end tourist crowd rather than locals.

Beautiful winery, we came for the premium wine tasting. 6 glasses of lovely wine accompanied by a delicious cheeseboard, nice chilled atmosphere and music playing over speakers. Staff were brilliant, very informative about the wines and attentive. Great value for money- would recommend!

The location is really nice, especially in the early evening. Prices are a bit above average, but the food is exceptional. The gift from the kitchen was impressive, and the dip with the starter was amazing. The main course was just as good, especially the dish of the day. The meat quality is excellent. We've never had such good spare ribs—the meat fell off the bone. Highly recommended! The service is friendly, quick, and gives great advice. I don't usually like many wines, but the waiter picked a fantastic one for me here.

We can definitely recommend Grampsas Winery for a wine tasting in a calm and unique atmosphere under the grapevines 🍇 We tasted five of their wines, we especially liked the Gran Rosé, Verdea and Verdea Traditionelle. The service by Sofia was perfect, she explained everything clearly and answered all of our questions. Thank You so much for this experience, we had a great time🤍

Unfortunately, this was by far the worst wine tasting of my life. The location was beautiful and the waiters were very friendly, but three wines were served at the same time and unfortunately only two minutes were spent talking about them. After about 30 minutes, the next three wines were served at the same time. In addition, there are two dogs running around, which unfortunately have fleas. Dog owners who bring their own dogs should be aware!

The Botanic Garden restaurant received high praise for its outstanding quality and presentation of dishes such as pork, lamb, octopus, and beef. The staff provided friendly and helpful service in the beautiful setting of a garden. The food was described as incredible, excellent, sensational, and perfectly cooked. Stephanie was mentioned as being attentive. Overall, the restaurant is highly recommended based on its food, ambiance, and service.
This is our second visit to the restaurant so have included photos from both visits. We decided to spend the last night of our holiday here because we enjoyed it so much. Absolutely beautiful food on both occasions which we couldn’t fault. Particular highlights were sushi and Pasticcio however everything we ate was beautiful . The cocktails were also beautiful. We didn’t manage a desert because we were so full but they also looked amazing! Very friendly, welcoming and attentive staff. Really nice relaxing place, easy to miss because it’s off the main road but definitely worth the visit. Have recommended to others visiting the area.

The best restaurant we've ever eaten at. The beef tartare was cut right off the bone at the table and was incredibly delicious. The spare ribs were also beautifully marinated and tender. We also ordered some sushi, which was truly delicious. Dessert alone was reason enough to go there. The Dubai chocolate dessert is truly delicious.

We visited the restaurant for dinner and were charmed! We decided to try their sushi too. We ordered two types of sushi, pasta with truffle and gyros. We were very impressed with everything, but we were most charmed by the cocktails they served us. They were simply amazing! During our entire vacation in Zakynthos, we had not drunk more delicious cocktails. The restaurant has a pretty good interior, the service is good, the staff is extremely friendly, they served us quickly, even though they were very busy. I recommend it! We would come back.

The place is top-level. Having dinner here was a very pleasant experience. The food is delicious, the decor is beautiful, and the service is quick and friendly. Highly recommended for a date night. The garden makes a great impression. The sushi is outstanding with unique flavor combinations, and the tartare was tasty and beautifully presented.

The best restaurant I went to during my stay on Zakyntos. Everything is a 10/10, we went back for a second time on our last evening because it was that good. The waiters are all lovely and the service is great. Great price for the quality of food you get. Would definitely recommend.

I usually never write reviews, but for Botanic Garden I make an exception. When we arrived our table was not ready yet so we got offered a place at the bar where we were welcomed very kindly. After 5/10 minutes our table was ready and we immediately got help from one of the lovely waiters. After helping us decide which rosé wine to take and ordering the rest of our food, we were amazed by the amazing quality. Definitely the very best restaurant we’ve been to on Zakynthos!

We had high expectations of this restaurant, but unfortunately these fell short. We were greeted promptly and given our first round of drinks quite quickly. We were seated in a nice area by the small pond in the corner. We then ordered our mains and were offered some bread to start. We quickly learned that bees / wasps would be a problem as we ate, as they were ever attracted to the flowers and bushes that are around. (We did expect an element of this being a garden place). The bread starter was quite nice. We didn’t wait long until the mains arrived, but when they did we were quite disappointed. The portion size on the sea bass was pitiful. We had one small and thin fillet of bass, sat on a bed of what only can be described as tomato soup. There was not veg or side included with this, and would have been enough for a started if I am being completely honest. The BBQ ribs were more of a suitable portion but were 8 euros more expensive. The 3 langoustines were also disappointing as they had a small amount of meat on them and there was no water bowl to clean your fingers. After we finished our mains we did tell the staff that we were disappointed from what we considered a more upmarket and expensive restaurant. After receiving this feedback the lady that served us was apologetic, and ended up giving us 4 free limoncellos and free desert. This did salvage some of the evening for us, however the bill still exceeded 135 euros. The food itself was tasty, however I think there is a lot to learn for this restaurant, and they have focused heavily on design and profit of the place over the customer experience in terms of actually eating the food and what should be the best in town.
