Which Greek Island Blog

Volimes

Volimes is a small village found up in the northern mountains of Zakynthos island, it's brimming with pine forests, olive groves, local farms, and vineyards, not to mention loads of traditional architecture and extremely authentic restaurants.

Anafonitria

Anafonitria is a small village in the north west. The main attraction is the Monastery of Anafonitria which has stood on the outskirts of the village since the 15th century. There’s not much in the way of hotels, tavernas and shops although there is a handful of each.

Zakynthos Town

Zakynthos town is the capital of the Island, it's based around the port and as you might expect is a large, bustling town with loads of restaurants, hotels, shops, museums, churches and fantastic night life. The only thing it lacks is a really good beach.

Argassi

Argassi is a small village on the northern coast of the Vasilikos peninsular. There's something for everyone here, a good beach, watersports, shops, restaurants, mini golf and just 4 kilometres from the capital Zakynthos town and everything on offer there.

Exo Hora

Visiting Exo Hora is like taking a step back in time, it survived the 1953 earthquake well and is untouched by tourism with no large hotels and just a couple of tavernas. It's a traditional village that's perfect for an afternoon away from the crowds.

Gyri

Gyri is a tiny village in Zakynthos. Gyri has just 20-30 houses, a couple of which are rented out. There's no hotels and just a single taverna so Gyri really isn't a tourist hot spot but if you like exploring traditional Greek villages then it's perfect.

Kalamaki

Kalamaki is located at the eastern end of the bay of Laganas on the south east coast. It's a huge sandy bay that's a haven for the endangered Logerhead turtles that nest here. Kalamaki isn't one of the most popular resorts but still boasts plenty of accommodation.

Kampi

Kampi, sometimes also known as Kambi is a tiny village in the middle of the west coast of Zakynthos. As you might expect from such a tiny village, there are minimal tourist facilities, just a couple of villas to rent and a couple of tavernas on the outskirts.

Katastari

The picturesque village of Katastari is close to the 17th century Monastery of Agios Ioannis Prodromos. It's also home to a folklore museum, where you can explore a stunning collection including silver, embroidery, and traditional agricultural tools.

Keri

There’s actually two sections to Keri village, the main tourist area, known as Limni Keri that’s built around the beach and harbour with the majority of the hotels, apartments and tavernas and the more traditional village up in the hills with fantastic views.
