Hotels near Zakynthos International Airport - ZTH, Zakynthos Town

Kalamaki is a great place for families to relax. The restaurants are very good. The sea is beautiful, the water is clean, excellent. The apartment is beautiful, quiet, there is a terrace. We really liked staying at Dina's apartment.

We have stayed in Argassi every year for over 20 years, last year we were lucky enough to visit 3 times. Every restaurant is accommodating, you just have to ask and they will adapt a dish to suit if they can. All you need for your holiday is within walking distance or if you want to visit other towns the taxis are reasonably priced and quick to arrive after booking. A taxi to or from the airport takes less than 15 minutes and is on average €25. Our go to restaurants are Papillon, Erato, Green Frog, Dionisos and Zorbas but there are many more within walking distance equally as good. if you wanted to explore the island visit Peter tours, the jeep safari trip was a hit for us.

It's great to stay there as you get the most restarants, bars and everything. You don't need car to go to dinner or drinks. Beaches are near and the island isn't that big, so it's worth staying in the main town.

Laganas is definitely the place to meet people. I went towards the end of season which suited me just fine as I still considered it busy. There's plenty of places to eat and drink. Police are always on the strip at night, and the place generally feels safe. In my opinion the better beach if further up in the next town but its in walking distance so that's fine I feel like there's something for everyone here. I like Latin American music so really enjoyed Cubaneros. I also liked Carpe Diem and Tasos for food. I didn't hire a vehicle but to get the most out of your trip hire a quad or something to really explore the place.

Pandokrator itself is tiny, but there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. The kebab shop was excellent with ginormous portions, and the supermarket has mainly everything you will need, apart from any decent beers. (greek beer kinda sucks). Be wary on the roads, as we witnessed 2 car crashed in out 6 day stay.

As someone with gluten and lactose intolerances, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of options available. I had the best swordfish grill at Sizzle N' Grill - picture attached - highly recommend them! The owner and whole team were lovely, hospitable, flexible with my diet, and always happy to help. Parthenon and Ambrosia also offered great food with plenty of choices for both pescatarians and meat lovers. It would be nice to see more vegetarian breakfast options around, but overall, I was content with what I found.
