Zante Guide · 3 articles
Zante's towns and villages
The nights are in Laganas and Argasi, but you will sleep, eat and spend your afternoons somewhere, and this part of the guide looks at the places around them. Zante Town gets a walk from Solomos Square up to the Venetian castle on Bochali hill, with the official opening hours of the museum and the castle. The north-east coast, from Tsilivi to Alykes, is the calm side with most of the island's Blue Flag beaches, and we explain how the official taxi tariff works for the ride to the strip at night. In the south-west, Keri has its lighthouse, its limestone cliffs and Lake Keri, the largest wetland in the area. None of these pages covers the party itself: each one links to the night pages that do.

Keri, Zante: the lighthouse, the south-west cliffs, Lake Keri and Marathonisi
Keri is the quiet end of the Bay of Laganas: a village, a Blue Flag beach, a turtle islet offshore and a lighthouse on the cliffs. Here is what each place is, how far it sits from your night out and which rules protect it.

Tsilivi, Zante: the quiet north-east coast, its Blue Flag beaches and the taxi to Laganas
Tsilivi, Planos, Alykanas and Alykes share Zante's north-east coast, a long way from the clubs of the south. Here is how the official tourism site describes them, which beaches there fly a Blue Flag in 2026, and how the night ride to the strip and back works.

Zante Town by day: Solomos Square, the Museum of Zakynthos and the castle on Bochali hill
The island's capital is where Zante keeps its history: two squares, a museum of icons that came through the 1953 earthquake and a Venetian castle on the hill above. Here are the opening days for winter 2026–2027 and summer 2027, the walk up to Bochali and how far it all is from where you go out at night.
