Scenery & Beaches
On the northwest coast of Zante you will be greeted with stepp white cliffs finished with green tree tops. The beaches are mostly filled with white pebbles, and magical crystal clear turquoise waters. The north side of the island is very rural with villas being the main type of accommodation around. Towards the islands south side, you will find beautifully golden beaches with the same magical waters.
The south of the island is far more lively, offering some of the best nightlife in Greece. Zante has everything to offer. Gerakas beach is the south most beach on the island. Not only does the golden sand make the beach a beautiful place, it's a protected nesting site for loggerhead turtles. If you go visit the beach at the right time you might even be lucky enough to see a turtle hatch! A personal recommendation would be to visit Marathia beach, located 25 km west of Zakynthos town. The beach is secluded, tourist free beach where you will be able to enjoy total relaxation with superb views.
