It must have been perfect 20 years ago, but not bad now!
antronios Says: DIONYSIOS ART GALLERY is located in 1796 OLD MANSION - Γ IATRAS MUSEUM - MEDIEVAL OLIVE PRESS, next to the church of Agalas, in the island of Zakynthos Greece.Artist Dionysios has here an ongoing exhibition of paintings, posters, post cards and bookmark paintings his...
GIATRAS MUSEUM - DIONYSIOS ART GALLERY
doingart Says: Agalas is well worth a detour. Venetian wells, Damianos Caves (where the ogre used to live and eat the local children), spectacular views of the West coast (great one from the Sunset Taverna), and then this GIATRAS MUSEUM - DIONYSIOS ART GALLERY, beautiful art, low prices...
Aurorae Says: Protected species caretta caretta nest in Zakynthos, but nonetheless, the 9km beach in Laganas bay where the most of their nests are (there are a few on nearby Marathonissi island as well) is crowded by tourists, sunbeds, and all the fuss and noise, even the part without...
Aurorae Says: I think that ever island or a rocky place on the coast has its blue cave. This is the most famous cave area in Zakynthos, even though I preferred Keri caves in the south.Do not go there by a big speed boat as I did, as you won't be able to get inside the cave, and they don't...
Navagio - the ship wreck beach
Aurorae Says: Probably the most photographed spot in Greece together with the Santorini blue rooftops. Accessible only by boat, it's best to visit in the afternoon as it is on the north-western side of the island. In the morning there will be no sun and the colours won't be as exciting....
Pappy17 Says: From the The Official Web Site of KIS, the Central Jewish Council of Greece:"In 1522 there were 30 Jewish families and a Synagogue in the island. Until 1712, the Community had two synagogues, the "Zante" Synagogue and the "Cretan" Synagogue, that took its name after the Jews...
Stani Taverna, Kalamaki, Zante: DO GO HERE.THE OWNER IS VIOLENT!!!
BelleandKiki Says: DON'T GO THERE!!! We saw the father Jimmy hit and punch a woman in her 50s and knock her to the ground. She was trying to get onto the beach to survey us tourists about animals in Greece. It took 2 men to escort her safely to her car!!! Jimmy's a head case!!!
Palos De Moguer: A Smart Restaurant.

Dionysos: A Good Greek Restaurant
intertraveler Says: We eat at this restaurant twice dueing our stay. I think it as a slight edge over the other restaurants we tried.The service was good and the food and drink was reasonable priced also, the restaurant is not very big. they do breakfast as well. I tried the Moussaka which was...

intertraveler Says: The Fun Train leaves Argassi to take you to Zante Town. They return after about two to three hours. Time to wander around the shops and have a bite to eat.The return trip May 2010 was 5 euro each.Leaves on the main road oposite the Legends Bar.

intertraveler Says: This bakerv is in the centre of Argassi. it is run by an elderly couple they sell fresh bread daily and also make some delicious cakes.You can buy sandwiches soft drinks.Also open sevon days a week.
Aurorae Says: There are huge purple jellyfish in Laganas beach (and in other sandy beaches I suppose), they are about 20-30cm in diameter, but quite harmless. I've touched them a few times by accident, they didn't burn, it just felt sleazy and yucky. So, you won't be burnt, you just might...
kat-m Says: Argassi beach was a major dissapointment, It was the first time in Greece that I had seen a dirty beach. To tell the truth the" beach", is a thin strip of sand that is left over from seafront hotels with pools. From our Apartments it was at least an hours walk to the other...
livecams247 Says: Well, not such a bad one but worth thinking about.Generally a pint of beer is about 2 euros to 3.5 euros depending if it is local or imported.If you go to the main street in Zante town, choose the place you stop for a drink wisely ! we payed 5 euros a pint, for the local...
kat-m Says: I have never seen so many turtles in my life everywhere on zante you can see shops of all descriptions selling turtles in various forms i.e. soft toys, ornaments, backpacks t.shirts etc etc.ps. I got a lovely bath mat, white background with a blue turtle on--- and its...
livecams247 Says: always take your suntan lotion, it is expensive here, the higher the factor the higher the priceexpect to pay 15 euros for a small bottle of factor 15.Mosquito repellent is a good idea, but i prefer to get something local, biggest bottle and cheapest usually means the...

kat-m Says: Go for a drive and just let the road take you, we went up to the north end of the island and came across numerous places and views. Apart from the resorts which i found out were a lot nicer than Argassi, there was in particular a small museum which I really liked....
