Beware of going to Alektor Restaurant they will charge you the earth and will not give you a menu so you don't know what you are being charged!

[@selinaCC1]

probably your best vid ever Tim , Fantastic and so entertaining 💯❤‍🔥

[@deano100able]

Absolutely love Zakynthos, been 3 times and stayed in Kalamaki next door to Laganas. Lovely little resort, nicely chilled during the day and some lovely bars and restaurants, not too lively but enough to keep you entertained. My favourite Greek islands is Ithaca. Spent many a summer there as my mum used to rep there every year. Very quiet tiny island and very Greek, off the usual tourist route. Very popular with people sailing around the islands. Vathi the capital is lovely and has many big super yachts parked up in the harbour. The locals are so welcoming and it has really great festivals in the summer

[@BoozySZN]

what a beautiful island! I am sure with the family this would be super enjoyable, especially exploring the island :D

[@WalkWithMeTim]

It really is!

[@VeggieGamer]

I know it doesn't mean a lot to many, but when I saw that the Jasmine had a chunky Vegan section on the menu, my heart soared! That is one thing I worry about going abroad on holiday, finding any (let alone so many on here) vegan options! Awesome!

[@elainemorris3408]

Hi Tim. We are off to Zante in 29 days. My 6th time. I'm staying in kalamaki this time, excellent for families and couples wanting a little more peace. You did get round the island, excellent vlog, many thanks. 😊

[@tinie15]

I spent 10 years worth of summers in Zakynthos, from 1978 to 1988. Haven't been there since. I was shocked to see how many things are still the same, and how many have dramatically changed. "Banana Beach" used to be absolutely empty. Then one year we found a small canteen that only served salads. The next year it had added eggs to the menu. Cut to what I saw in this video...

[@TomSzczepanski]

Great video Tim! I was lucky to get to visit Zante when I was about 20, staying at Kalamaki. Unbelievable place, got to see a turtle swimming with us while on a pedalo

[@socat9311]

As a Greek, I HAVE to suggest Mani. It's on mainland so not many know about it. the sea is so clean that you can find sea turtles. I would lose it if you did a tour there. It's a very different mix of landscapes (i suggest the Laconian side) with an amazing history and they call it the land of stone and light

[@tedn6855]

Not sure if that is his style going to hard to reach places. He goes with his wife and he mixes it up with known tourist areas and visits places that surround. I like his videos as they seem to reach a broad crowd and he does it in a fun pace. Going and doing rick Steve style videos don't seem like a good idea. I think rhodes would fit the format well.

[@1961Jannie]

So many beautiful places in the Peloponnese. Lived here in Greece for 35+ years (hubby is Greek). For the last couple of years we have been going to Leonidio (Semeli Apartments - also has great camping site next door). It's not a touristy place but I like the relative peace and it's great for the young grandkids as it's literally right on the beach. Off there again next week for annual holiday.

[@socat9311]

@@1961Jannie totally! many nice places in the area. And because they are not touristy they maintain a natural beauty and calm that to me is more impressive than squeezing in queues in Santorini :D Enjoy the holiday!

[@therealmasonicbwe]

@@WalkWithMeTim If you ever do, there is an all inclusive hotel called Avra Beach Resort and I've been there constantly. Private Beach, watch planes fly past ready to land, views of Turkey in the distance, 10-15 mins away from Airport, delicious food, lovely rooms and the staff are so friendly that my whole family are friends with them that we are recognised each time we return! Restaurant very nice and modern with nice delicious foods. This hotel is on Jet2 as well. (Not an ad or anything like that for the Hotel + Jet2, just my 'review' or some detail about the Hotel!)

I went to Zakynthos about 20 years ago and stayed in Alykes. I remember it rained almost every day and there was very little to see or do - Zante town is average. I absolutely adore Greece - Athens, Glyfada, Skiathos, Lesbos, Kos, Corfu, Crete, Saloniki...but I would never EVER return to Zante - there are so many more interesting destinations than Zante for a memorable vacation in Greece/islands.

[@tinabuckley1028]

[@cJ-cr8gp]

Looks lovely. Greek folks are so nice and the video work was awesome. Been to this island but it’s nothing compared to Kefalonia. I’d return to anywhere I ever went in Greece with the one exception of Zante. There it is.

I went on a holiday to Zante when I was 18. Obviously we stayed in Laganas but still hired quads and visited most of the beaches you did. It is a beautiful island, mostly undiscovered by brits as they all think it’ll be full of 18-30 holidays

[@annecaunce]

I holidayed in Laganas over 25 years ago when it was still relatively quiet and i wasn't keen, but the rest of Zakynthos is lovely. However, I discovered it's neighbouring island of Kefalonia in 2001 and I've been obsessed with it ever since. I've just come back from a month there, but even that wasn't long enough. It's beautiful, quiet and unspoilt and if you visit the main town of Argostoli, you can't fall to see the majestic loggerhead turtles that live in the lagoon. I think the ones you saw were terrapins as loggerheads are big animals. I've been to Lesvos, Skiathos, Rhodes, Symi, Skopelos, Alonissos and many times to Corfu, but Kef is the only place for me now.
