Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Zakynthos Town?
The best area to stay in Zakynthos Town is the central waterfront district, particularly around Solomos Square and the pedestrianised streets leading off it.

This area is the heart of Zakynthos Town, offering a blend of historic charm and modern conveniences. You'll find a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and cafes along the main promenade, which stretches from Solomos Square down to the port. The square itself is a prominent landmark, surrounded by impressive buildings and home to the Byzantine Museum of Zakynthos.

Couples looking for a romantic and convenient base will find this area ideal. You're perfectly placed for evening strolls along the harbour, enjoying sunset views, and dining at a variety of waterfront restaurants. The proximity to the ferry port also makes day trips to nearby islands or mainland Greece straightforward.

For solo travellers seeking a central and accessible stay, the area just behind Solomos Square, with its network of smaller streets, offers many boutique hotels and guesthouses. It's easy to explore the town's museums, such as the Museum of Dionysios Solomos, and enjoy the local atmosphere without needing a car.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Zakynthos Town?
Zakynthos Town offers a more relaxed evening experience compared to some of the island's other resort areas, but you'll still find plenty of options for a pleasant night out.

The main area for evening activities is around the waterfront, particularly along Strada Marina (Lomvardou Street). Here, you'll find a selection of bars, cafes, and restaurants with outdoor seating overlooking the harbour. Many of these establishmnets are open late, serving cocktails and often playing popular music. It's a good spot for a pre-dinner drink or a more casual nightcap.

Moving slightly inland, around Solomos Square and Saint Mark's Square, you'll discover a few more sophisticated options. These squares are bordered by cafes and bars that often have a more traditional Greek feel or offer a slightly more upscale cocktail experience. It's a nice place for a quieter drink and people-watching.

For those looking for live music, some of the larger restaurants and a few dedicated bars in the town centre occasionally host Greek bouzouki nights or bands playing international hits. These aren't typically advertised as late-night clubs but provide entertainment into the evening.
