Not the prettiest of resorts but with a great beach, good tavernas and bars, loads of swimming pools open to anyone and friendly locals it is very welcoming. Recommend PEPPAS car hire. Very cheap, good cars and good back-up if you breakdown. Don`t be talked into hiring through the Reps. You pay more and it`s the reps commission!!

Visited Zante in June and took a small speedboat from a cove near to the lighthouse at the North of the island. Did the Blue Caves and Shipwreck in 2 hours. Fantastic, kids loved it, fast boat and trip short enough not become boring. If you`ve got kids my advice is to avoid the large boat trips as they can take up most of the day and go for the smaller ones. Whether you believe the shipwreck story or not, it`s worth a visit. Fantastic location.
