Tsilivi Beach (231 Comments)  A big sandy beach able to accommodate everyone from the neighbouring resort and more. Lots of tourist facilities on hand. |
Kalamaki Beach (209 Comments) 4.1   Probably the best place to actually see a turtle. Just wade about in the shallow water and if they are about you will soon spot one. |
Laganas Beach (162 Comments)  It's as busy as you'd expect from a Club 18-30 resort, but keep walking and you'll find a long stretch of beach where development has been prevented by the Marine Park. |
Alykanas Beach (150 Comments)  A big sandy beach which rarely gets crowded despite new tourist developments nearby. Plenty of tourist facilities nearby without feeling overly commercialised. |
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. |
St Nicholas Beach - Vassilikos (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! |
Gerakas Beach - Vassilikos (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. |
Alykes Beach (54 Comments)  Fairly narrow in places, but quite a long beach so it only gets crowded close to the resort centre. |
Porto Zoro Beach - Vassilikos (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. |
Dafne Beach - Vassilikos (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! |
Ionio Beach - Vassilikos (20 Comments)  A huge expanse of sandy beach which is great for those who would don't need a sunbed, or a crowd. |
Mavratzi Beach - Vassilikos (16 Comments)  For a while in 2008 this was a deserted naturist beach, but not now the Zante Royal Palace Hotel has reopened. |
Navagio Shipwreck Beach - Volimes (16 Comments) Shipwreck beach can only accessed by boat but many people use the viewing platform on the cliffs above for a spectacular photography opportunity. |
Old Alykanas Beach (12 Comments)  A beautiful series of small beaches and all within easy walking distance of the nearby resort of Alykanas. |
Plaka Beach - Vassilikos (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. |
Amoudi Beach (11 Comments)  A very quiet area with small sandy beaches. Easy to get to if you are staying nearby in Alykes or Alykanas. |
Keri Beach - Keri Lake (11 Comments)  One of the few places on the island where British tourists are a small minority. Can get busy in peak season but otherwise quiet and relaxing. |
Bouka Beach - Tsilivi (7 Comments)  Right next door to Tsilivi, Bouka beach is usually quieter and more laid-back than its big brother. |
Porto Roma Beach - Vassilikos (7 Comments)  Not as sandy as some other beaches in Vassilikos, but still a beautiful setting with greenery surrounding the beach. |
Ampoula Beach - Tragaki (7 Comments)  A small sandy beach used mainly by the residents of the neighbouring Plagos Beach Hotel. |
Kaminia Beach - Vassilikos (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! |
Makri Gialos Beach - Volimes (4 Comments)  A pebbly beach in a beautiful setting well away from the main resorts so it rarely gets busy. |
Xigia Beach - Volimes (4 Comments)  A stunning little beach famous for the aroma of 'bad eggs'. It's sulphur escaping from the surrounding rocks apparently! |
Psarou Beach - Amoudi (3 Comments)  No big hotels in this area. A series of small beaches which are usually very quiet except in July or August |
Kryoneri Beach - Zante (2 Comments) |
Porto Koukla Beach - Aghios Sostis (1 Comment)  Often discovered by accident, this is a haven of peace and tranquillity despite being within walking distance of Laganas! |
St Nicholas Beach Nth - Volimes (1 Comment)  Not to be confused with St Nicholas in Vassilikos, this is a handy stopover place when visiting the Shipwreck or the Blue Caves, or even while waiting for a ferry to Kefalonia. |
