Argassi Beach (138 Comments) Often criticised, mainly because in many places there is no beach! At least the water is shallow with a sandy bottom making it good for bathing. |
Dafne Beach (28 Comments) A beautiful beach and an important nesting ground for the Loggerhead Sea Turtles, accessed via a long and bumpy dirt road. Definitely one for the rental car! |
Gerakas Beach (77 Comments) 4.3 An important nesting beach for the Loggerhead Sea Turtles and very well maintained by the Marine Park. It's beach you should visit during your holiday. |
Ionio Beach (20 Comments) A huge expanse of sandy beach which is great for those who would don't need a sunbed, or a crowd. |
Kaminia Beach (6 Comments) 4.1 A beautiful location and not over commercialised. It's a perfect stop-off place and within walking distance of Argassi if you're feeling fit! |
Mavratzi Beach (16 Comments) For a while in 2008 this was a deserted naturist beach, but not now the Zante Royal Palace Hotel has reopened. |
Plaka Beach (11 Comments) A tidy and well run beach resort. You pay for sunbeds on the beach, but sunbeds on the grassy area behind are free. |
Porto Roma Beach (7 Comments) Not as sandy as some other beaches in Vassilikos, but still a beautiful setting with greenery surrounding the beach. |
Porto Zoro Beach (28 Comments) Exotic looking beach with fine sand and good facilities. There are plenty of small fish to see if you go snorkelling at the rocky end of the beach. |
St Nicholas Beach (113 Comments) Offering a wide variety of watersports. There is a free bus from the main resorts but you have to pay for one of the many facilities in order to get the bus back! |
