Holiday homes & rentals on Zakynthos

Unravel the secrets of Zakynthos island and rest in a peaceful cliffside villa with the bright blue details and cheery floral accents so characteristic of Greece. You may never want to leave once you get to know this magical place.

Greek hospitality

A dining experience at Porto Schiza restaurant will make for a memorable one. Its hilltop location provides incomparable views of the teal lagoon below, which set the scene for your feast of traditional local cuisine and freshly-caught seafood.

Another seaside gem, Porto Limnionas Tavern, is a family affair right down to the oils and wines used in the restaurant, which are lovingly produced by relatives nearby. Stuffed tomatoes, courgette balls, fried sardines and grilled squid champion their locally flavoured, winning menu.

Grecian history and culture

Touring a castle always makes an interesting afternoon, and with the Venetian Castle near Zakynthos Town, you even get those prized ocean views Greek islands are known for. Though now in ruins, the complex is a remnant of the past Venetian and British Empires.

Dig deeper into the history of the island at the Museum of D. Solomos and Eminent People of Zakynthos. Travel through various rooms with different themes, some dedicated to famous people from the island, including two resting places of popular poets. Lavish furniture and religious objects also are featured.

Beach bummin'

Gerakas Beach is said to be the loveliest of Zakynthos' vast and pristine selection of shore front, which makes it even more worthy of your visit. Grab a coveted lounger under an umbrella and enjoy the views of sandy cliffs, green bluffs and lapping waves.

Perhaps the most iconic location on the whole island, Navagio Beach or Shipwreck Beach is where the rusted remains of an abandoned freight liner from the 1980s sits, framed by tall cliffs and next to an aquamarine cove. Take a boat ride over to investigate and beach comb.
