Beach overall scores
Zante beach (Ioanian Islands) is located outside the Xirokastello settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Zakynthos island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Zante beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach is fantastic for those seeking tranquility, and although having water shoes would be useful, they are not essential. There are beds available both on the sandy beach and on the grassy area. If you purchase a drink, you can enjoy the beds and umbrella for free. Snorkeling around the rocks is an enjoyable activity, and the water is remarkably clear."
Sara Veldenhof
"The beach is lovely, although it may be on the smaller side. To assist those without appropriate footwear for a pebbled beach, two sandbag paths have been created for easier access to the sea. The sunbeds and parking are complimentary, with the only requirement being to order a drink from the beach bar. Additionally, the food served at the beach is quite enjoyable."
