About Zante
As one of the largest Greek islands behind Crete, Rhodes and Corfu, Zante (or Zakynthos) is a great choice for holidaying in Greece. Unspoilt beaches and clear blue waters make it an ideal sunny destination for all holidaymakers.
Relax in northwest Zante with a visit to the comforting sandy bay at Navagio Beach — often named by locals as Smuggler’s Cove. Or, enjoy the Blue Caves in the west of the island. Water reflects light on to the walls, making a sparkling caving experience to remember. Want to see the local wildlife? Hop on a boat to Marathonisi, an offshore island in Laganas Bay. It’s home to the endangered Caretta Caretta (loggerhead sea turtle).
Zante is also one of the world-famous party islands. Head to the eastern resort of Laganas to experience Greek nightlife. The sun may set, but the party never stops!
Fly from London Luton Airport to Zante in 3 hours 40 minutes.
