Zante is one of the Greek islands, best known among UK holidaymakers for Laganas — a strip of bars, clubs, and late-night energy that's become one of Europe's go-to spots for a big group holiday. Beyond the strip, the island has genuinely stunning scenery, including the famous Navagio Shipwreck Beach.
nightlife
Laganas is the main event — a long strip packed with bars, clubs, and karaoke spots that gets going late and doesn't let up. Boat parties and pool parties are a regular feature for most big groups.
beaches
Laganas beach itself is long and sandy, good for recovering the next day. For something more scenic, Navagio (Shipwreck Beach) is a short boat trip away and one of the most photographed beaches in Greece.
getting there
Direct flights run from most major UK airports in peak summer season, usually taking around 3.5 hours.
best time to go
July and August are peak party season with the most going on. Late May, June, and September tend to be quieter with still-warm weather.
