Should YOU Visit Zante?, Greece

Join me on the island of Zakynthos a Greek island in the Ionian Sea and a well-known summer resort. The harbour city of Zakynthos is the capital and major hub, centred around waterfront Solomos Square. Popular beaches like Agios Nikolaos, Alykanas and Tsilivi offer swimming and water sports. Accessed by boat, Navagio Beach is the site of a famed 1980 shipwreck resting in a sandy cove framed by cliffs.

Brilliantly presented as always Tim! Brilliant informative video about the BEST Greek island 🏝️, Tsilivi is the best resort and Sandra’s is great as you drive into The resort

Great video, Zante looks beautiful. Have you ever been to Parga? (mainland Greece)

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!

i think Greece is the gem of europe.its beautiful not much expensive,friendly people,amazing food ,amazing night life ,beautiful women,heavenly landscapes,amazing weather,perfect mood. what else someone will need than that??? iam doing my vacation at this country since 1994 and i feel more greek than danish. i am not lie but greece changed my life ,it gave me will to live.

This is the best video you’ve ever made Tim, loved it, such a pretty island! 😀

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andrewparks3909]

Excellent work

[@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!

Talk about a James Bond type rescue of the swimming trunks! And thank goodness you did rescue them as you wouldn't have been able to jump off that cliff otherwise!!!! Made me giggle! Fantastic video Tim with brilliant filming of all the places to visit, food, scenic excursions, jumping off cliffs, etc. etc.!! I think you covered just about everything including a traditional Greek night out with plates smashing and ring of fire dancing! Wow. Every video just gets more entertaining and professional.😄 x J x

[@WalkWithMeTim]

thanks Tim

[@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.

[@mrsp-notsosecretdiary]

SSSSSSSsssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh we need to keep it a secret! 😄

[@deano100able]

Totally agree, Argostoli is beautiful. Been a couple of times, and stayed in Fiskardo a couple of times as well, really like it there, some great restaurants and bars. Usually stayed In kef going over from staying in Ithaca for a couple of weeks. You been there?

[@TheNinjaMarmot]

Been to Zante over 10 years ago. Loved it. People, place, music, it's all relaxing.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Couldn't agree more!

[@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...

[@wendycopcutt4891]

Loved this video Tim as I’ve never been to Greece. Zante looked so pretty, the sea so clear and the sky so blue. I’m amazed you managed to scoop your swim shorts from the sea whilst driving the boat! The Greek night looked good and I loved the traditional music.

[@kkrispy2009P]

You should book a trip wendy

[@prykey8674]

Great video Tim, looks beautiful and so glad you managed to rescue your shorts! 😂

[@kaprunski]

Another great video Tim. I have been lucky enough to visit nine of the Greek Islands and I think my favorites were Crete, Poros, Rhodes and Skiathos. But saying that, each and everyone I have visited have been lovely in different ways and never had a bad holiday. The Greeks are warm and friendly and the food is delicious. The thing I really like about Greece and its islands is the chilled and relaxed way of life and I always feel content and happy when I am there.

[@ShakenSoul]

Not sure why but I’ve never even considered Zante when thinking about holiday destinations, but definitely will now. Looked amazing 🤩

[@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

[@linzbarber]

Fabulous video of a beautiful island Tim. I can’t believe how big the resort of Laganas is now, when I was last there almost 30 years ago it was a relatively small and quiet resort with no huge bars or clubs. The island across from Laganas used to be known as goat island because a billy goat lived there, we took a boat across and we were the only people there. No bars, nothing. It was so lovely seeing the island again and although I love Zante, my favourite Greek island is Skiathos.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it

Zante is absolutely lovely. I bought a pot of moisturiser from a stall along a road. I love it so much, I still buy it to this day. It comes from Crete. It take a while to get to me and it’s expensive, but so worth it. It’s only got olive oil and aloe Vera in it.
