So you are trying to find somewhere in Zante to go and stay in this summer? Allow us to suggest Kalamaki, which could just come as a pleasant surprise to you.

Zante is sometimes seen as a pleasant and lively place to go on holiday. Lots of families tend to come here, making it a good bet if you happen to have young children.

But suppose you want a more laid back holiday with your partner and you don’t have any children to worry about? In this case Kalamaki could be the best possible place to try. It is laid back in itself, offering a superb place to go to find a relaxing holiday away from the crowds. You won’t exactly be on your own here but it is definitely a bit more chilled out than if you were to stay somewhere like Lagana.

Some people do enjoy going out at night and there are possibilities for you in Kalamaki. But again they are of the more laid back kind. Can you imagine sipping a glass of wine and watching the sun go down while sitting outside at a top restaurant? This is what the nightlife in Kalamaki is all about, although Lagana isn’t too far away if you feel the pull of something a bit livelier.

You should beware though that looking for accommodation on the western side of Kalamaki may not be a good idea. Stick to the eastern side unless you want to have the sound of aircraft waking you up first thing in the morning. With this aside, the resort is a delight waiting to be discovered. And if you choose the other half of the resort to relax in, you don’t even have this to worry about, so bear this little tip in mind.

The beach itself is a delight and you will be able to spend many a day simply lounging around soaking up the sun. There is much more to Kalamaki than meets the eye though; you can explore many of the streets that lead away from the beach to discover still more while you are there.
