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.
Bill S — Google review
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)
Alberto A — Google review
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.
Emily R — Google review
Lovely bay, crowded at this time of the year as the majority is closed for the turtle nesting and beware the far end as it is frequented by nudest bathers. The bay is shallow and calm offering great safety for children.
Big G — Google review
Very scenic beach, nice if you want to be in touch with nature. No amenities on the beach, you need to walk around 500 back to the road to find anything. The prices for sunbeds are high (40 E/day).
V Z — Google review
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.
Alice — Google review
Maybe the best beach in all Zakynthos. Only flaw: full of large stones where the sunbeds are, a bit risky walking there. But the sea and the landscape are simply amazing.

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Zakynthos Sea Turtle Rescue & Information Center is located in Zante, Greece, which is a crucial nesting area for loggerhead turtles. The center aims to preserve the natural environment and raise awareness about these ancient creatures. It operates as a charity rather than a tourist attraction and offers a free and informative exhibition on local marine life and the threats posed by tourist boats. Visitors can support the cause by making donations or purchasing souvenirs.
The Rescue Center deserves more attention for the work they do! Definitely worth a visit. After our visit to the Garakas beach we were able to use the Sand Showers. We also had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant next door, which also supports the center
Melina D — Google review
This is a must see when on Zakynthos. Telling you everything about these gracious creatures you need to know. There is a museum that tells you everything important and the entrance i free. You will also find a restaurant here with good food, beer and service. The view over the surrounding area is great too. Most importantly you can also see live turtles aka guest in the Rescue Center here. One of the most important things you learn here is that we (humans and mass tourism) are their biggest threat. Do NOT disturb the turtles on the beaches and do NOT hunt them at sea as this can stress them to not lay their eggs. Instead respect the turtles at a distance and help these endangered creatures instead.
Rene N — Google review
Great FREE to enter, educational place. Great to learn more about the turtles and the impact of tourism. Has a little gift shop where profits go to the charity. Some terrapins there- I think they do occasionally have rescued sea turtles when needed too, has a cafe/restaurant. Has toilets and sand showers that collect the beach sand to help combat erosion. Lots of parking.
Katie S — Google review
Loverly place with Free entry, clean toilet cubiclea for men & women (VERY clean & well maintained). The place is edicational and has some fish and they had 3 terrapins in the tanks on the day we visited. The place has daiy timed activities listed on the board. We only did a fly by walk through visit, then headed to the beach. There is a gift shop, cafe (profits go towards supporting the place) and some other tourist shops on the road. Loads of parking (Free) opposite side of the road and close up to the beach entrance there is disabled and parent toddler parking. There are also toillets. The beach is down a bit, however the wooden ramp/walkway leads down, so suitable for a wheel chair. Beach is amazing, there are sunbeda and umbrellers, not sure if free. The view is beautiful, there are areas marked to protect the turtle eggs, we had missed thia years lot. Nice little drive on the traditional greek roads as well to gwt there.
Paul C — Google review
When visiting the beach of Gerakas, I would say it is really worth it visiting. It has a free entrance and has some nice information about the sea turtles, and has also some rescued ones you can see from close. It also has a nice gift some which is worth taking a look. I would say it is a really initiative, so visit it for sure if you find the time
Jannis P — Google review
This place has a free entry as well. You can see and learn about the turtles in and around the island. They could clean the tanks a little better and the turtles you see there aren't the turtles you would find on the beaches of the island. After this we went to the beach, which is a couple of hundred meters away, where we found some turtle nests. You can buy souvenirs here as well
Richard S — Google review
i think this place is so worth visiting, not because you’re going to see turtles, but because you’re going to learn their story: how our actions as tourists impact their way of living and how important it is to donate in order for them to get a MRI scanner since the only one available is located in Athens, way too far for an injured turtle to get to. the center is located right next to Gerakas beach, which is another important spot for turtle nests and the parking on the right is free of charge. there are showers if you just got back from the beach and clean toilets as well, the staff is very friendly and on our way we came across a swallow’s nest 😊 this is definitely a must-see place that is going to change your perspective on many things 🐢♥️
Elisa M — Google review
A wonderful and inspiring place! The Zakynthos Sea Turtle Rescue Center is doing amazing work protecting and caring for sea turtles. The staff and volunteers are passionate and informative, and it’s heartwarming to see how much they care about the animals. A must-visit for anyone who loves nature and wants to support real conservation efforts!

Nestled on the stunning Vasilikos Peninsula, Porto Roma Studios offers a serene escape for travelers seeking tranquility away from the bustling crowds. This charming destination is close to some of Zakynthos' most popular beaches, including Banana Beach and St. Nicholas Beach, where adventure seekers can indulge in various water sports like kayaking and jet skiing. Despite its smaller size, Porto Roma beach is a hidden gem known for its pristine waters and exceptional service.
I had an amazing time at Porto Roma as a solo traveler. Everyone was really kind and helpful, the food is great with an amazing view, and the breakfast is very peaceful. It feels like everything is set out for you to build a relaxing routine, and the managers play their role very well in that :)) Would love to come back xx

There are much better options on the island than this beach. It is very narrow, and the water was not clean as in other places. Perhaps it's okay for a quick swim if you are nearby, but it's not a beach to spend quality time on.

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. You can eat a water sports if you want to. Be aware that this beach is used for tourists companies to send bus loads of tourists at once. Bit they arrange this good and its okay.

The beach is nice and clean, but not very quiet. Water activities and sports take place throughout the day in the area nearby. You need to pay 20 euros for the sunbeds, or if you walk a few minutes, you can find suitable spots for your own umbrella.

It is an excellent sandy beach with many nearby amenities. The waters are crystal-clear, and there is a lovely church nearby where you can make beautiful photos. There is free parking behind the beach, but it gets crowded quickly, so plan in advance. Personally, i didn't like that almost the entire beach is occupied with sunbeds and parasols from the bar, but there are some free spots on the sides for own towels and umbrellas.

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

Restaurant
Taverna Gerakas, situated near Gerakas Beach, is a convenient stop for those exploring the island. It offers local delicacies like rabbit stifadho and grilled shrimp. This establishment is an ideal getaway from the heat of the beach as it eliminates the need for car travel due to limited parking availability after 1 pm. The tavern's staff is welcoming, amiable, efficient, and engaging. They promptly greeted customers and presented a tempting array of fresh seafood dishes.
We had a really pleasant meal here. The staff was very welcoming, and the food was excellent. A special highlight was the fried aubergine in the starters — absolutely delicious! The kebab was perfectly seasoned, and both the octopus and calamari were cooked just right. You can really tell they prepare everything with great care. The restaurant also has a relaxed atmosphere — perfect after a day at the beach. Next time I’m in Zakynthos, I’ll definitely come back!

We only visited this tavern for breakfast coffee and a smoothie for a snack. These two experiences were enough to appreciate the quality of the place and the staff: excellent!

If you’re searching for perfectly cooked fish and a dining experience that lingers long after the last bite, look no further than Gerakas Taverna. Nestled in the heart of vasilikos, this charming spot delivers seafood with a level of care and finesse that’s increasingly rare. From the moment we walked in, the warm, attentive service set the tone. The staff was knowledgeable, especially when it came to the fish offerings—eager to explain sourcing, preparation, and wine pairings without ever feeling overbearing.

Located by the seaside, Nikos Beach Bar Restaurant is a hidden gem accessible via a short stroll along a dirt road. It provides a laid-back and relaxing atmosphere for visitors to enjoy. The sun beds can be used throughout the day for a reasonable fee, ensuring value for money. Additionally, guests have the convenience of ordering drinks and snacks from the bar, which can be promptly delivered to their spot on the beach.
The best local and authentic kitchen in Zakynthos. We come here since 5 years , a lot of local people come here and they consider it as one of best restaurants in town. All products are local and cooked in oven same day. All done by Yianna the owner with her local recipes. It’s a family resturant with her daughter and relatives working here . You should be patient coming here and if you are in hurry ask the waiter what already in the oven so you don’t wait too long . As they prepare everything as per order so it takes sometimes long time if what you ordered is not in the oven already 😅 it’s a concept but once you know it you get more relaxed . The size of the dishes are big and not expensive at all comparing to other restaurants in town. I honestly don’t understand the other comments people comparing Zakynthos with Mykonos prices or kefalonia as I have been in these other islands and the prices there are much higher and much smaller portions than the prices and portion at this restaurant !

Absolutely fantastic experience. The food is incredibly fresh, grilled on natural charcoal just outside, which gives it an authentic and rich flavor. Both the fish and the meat are simply outstanding. The staff are not only welcoming but also genuinely beautiful people, adding to the warm atmosphere. You can enjoy your meal and then relax on the sunbeds right by the beach just below. Don’t miss the sangria and the freshly made lemonade – they are truly a piece of art.

Had lunch here while down at the beach. Lovely setting overlooking the sea with a proper beach vibe. Plenty of staff. We weren't hurried. Fresh food cooked very well. Best Greek salad...which was large. We had sardines and chicken off the barbecue which was delicious 😋. Their own lemonade was spectacular. Definitely recommend 👌

Great location near the beach. The food was amazing. I tried grilled calamari and was really tasteful. The saganaki cheese and feta cheese with honey were amazing, as well as the greek salad. Would have been nice if they would have let us use the sunbeds after we had lunch.

This is such a beautiful little restaurant. Incredible food and a great location. Please be patient with the staff, it’s very busy sometimes so service can be slow but also always with a smile. Don’t go if you’re impatient, relax and enjoy the views. The food we ate was fresh and homemade. The small homemade bread rolls are just delicious. We enjoyed fresh fish, sardines, beef cooked in the oven, chicken on the bbq, stuffed tomatoes & peppers and the homemade zucchini cakes are just to die for. Thank you for the most wonderful evening and food. The Pina Colada’s were delicious too! Enjoy.

Additionally, the area offers local amenities such as tavernas, beach bars, and small shops for convenience.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at this stunning seaside restaurant, and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that made us feel instantly welcome. The view was simply breathtaking — panoramic scenes of the sea stretching out before us, with the sound of waves creating the perfect background to an already relaxing atmosphere. Whether you’re catching a sunset or enjoying a moonlit dinner, the setting alone is worth the visit. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the chefs take pride in using fresh, high-quality ingredients. We tried a variety of items from the menu, and not a single bite disappointed. From the seafood to the desserts, everything was top-tier. The service was impeccable — attentive without being intrusive, and every member of the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening. It’s rare to find a place where hospitality feels this genuine. If you’re looking for a place that combines stunning views, top-quality food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is it. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be coming back!

The beach is wonderful, the staff are a true delight and the facilities are splendid. We are not party people - we were looking for tranquility and a place to relax, this place truly delivered! The food is also delicious and very comfy sun-beds which were never packed (in mid-August). A true gem!

Amazing service and amazing food. Stunning location of the restaurant. Got there around 7pm and was empty and then started to fill around 8-9pm. Best food our our holiday and portion size was huge. Had starters and mains but could have likely just had mains as starters nearly filled us. Some of the best prawns ever had.

This restaurant is fantastic – stunning views, delicious food, and exceptionally friendly service. We’ve been to many places on the island, and most were disappointing, but here we gladly came back twice. Strongly recommend!

had the pleasure of dining at this stunning seaside restaurant, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by a warm, gracious staff who made us feel genuinely appreciated. Their friendliness and attentiveness added a special touch to the entire evening. The atmosphere is simply perfect—relaxed yet elegant, with the sound of the waves in the background and a gentle sea breeze creating an almost magical ambiance. Whether you’re there for a romantic dinner or a relaxed meal with friends, the setting is unbeatable. And the view? Absolutely breathtaking. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while enjoying a delicious meal is something I won’t soon forget. If you’re looking for a place that combines great food, exceptional service, and a spectacular seaside setting, look no further. Highly recommended!

We went here spontaneously and the food and view were truly amazing. The staff was super friendly and we enjoyed this evening very much. The terrace and view were fantastic so were to cocktails we had (Gin Basil Smash and Pornstr Martini we can recommend 100%). The starters were delicious especially the crunchy mix seafood plate unbeatable as well as the grilled vegetables. Salmon Pasta and grilled Sea Bream cooked perfectly. If you like a calm evening with perfect food and service do come here, if only we came here sooner…

We had the absolute best lunch at Porta Roma. The views from the patio were stunning! Everyone was very friendly. The fish of the day was the best we had during our stay in Greece. We look forward to coming back

Restaurant
Dopia's House is a charming family-run restaurant in Vasilikos, offering a quiet and relaxing dining experience. The classic Greek dishes, such as baked feta and fried zucchini, are highly recommended. Guests often find themselves over-ordering due to the delicious food and end up taking leftovers home. The homemade olive oil is a standout, often purchased by visitors to take home. The friendly husband-and-wife team provides attentive service at reasonable prices.
Eating straight out of their own vegetable garden. Self made olive oil. Self made everything! Thats whats happening here. Good quality for what you pay. You sit under the vines on the terrace. Friendly and informatieve staff. Oh and you get a free olive oil sample. See the fotograph. For me I rated this 5 stars. Try this one you will not regret it.

We had a wonderful experience at this charming family-run restaurant. We sat under the thick shade of grapevines, which created a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. They brought us some delicious homemade olive oil to start with. For the main course, we were served the catch of the day — freshly grilled barracuda — which was incredibly tasty and perfectly cooked. A true hidden gem with authentic flavors and warm hospitality.

Very friendly family and host. You have to try the fish of the day, the fresh catch, which varies naturally from day to day. The ambiente of the place is very calm and without music. A true place to relax and enjoy the best food zakynthos has to offer.

Really delicious, authentic homemade greek food. The tavern is owned by a friendly, welcoming gentleman and his family. Every time we went there, we had that feeling that we are coming to eat at home. The tastiest calamari, souvlaki and greek salad on the island. We truly appreciate the homemade olive oil and bread as an appetiser and portokalopita as a dessert. Thank you Mr Stefano and Andreas for unforgettable memories.

The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. The olive oil was exceptional – rich, fragrant, and clearly of top quality. We loved it so much that we decided to take some to go! ❤️

✨The best restaurant we've been to in Zakinthos!✨ 🫒 Dopia is a 1000 year old olive tree which grows in front of this family restaurant! The most delicious Greek salad and souvlaki we've tried, very friendly service and very reasonable prices! They grow their own vegetables and making olive oil, which you can buy as well, so all food is incredibly tasty, feta is perfectly balanced. Highly recommend to visit! 🤩

We were sold on the promise of the hike made food and found an absolute gem, authentic experience and lovely owners! We absolutely enjoyed the freshest fish of the day (barracuda) grilled with herbs as well as seafood stew, topped with fresh bread with absolutely amazing olive oil made by the owners. A must try!
