Mavratzi Beach

Beaches in Zante

          

Location: At the end of the Vassilikos Peninsular

Getting There: Follow the main road from Argassi. Go through the town of Vassilikos and look for signs for the Zante Royal Palace Hotel. The beach is next to the hotel which has been closed since the beginning of 2008

Access: The access road is steep with only a couple of parking spaces at the bottom so you might have to walk down the hill

Sunbeds: For a while the beach was deserted, but some enterprising soul was selling sunbeds before the end of the 2008 season

Toilets: No

Watersports: No, it used to be a watersports centre, but not at the moment

Safe for Kids: Yes

Food & Drinks: No

Turtles: No

Seaweed: Quite a lot has accumulated on the beach as nobody is clearing it up

Sand or Pebbles: Sand

Car Parking: Only a couple of spaces at the bottom of the hill. It's probably easier to park higher up and walk down
