Cheap Holidays to Zante

All you need to know about holidays to Zante

zante town

Also known as Zakynthos, Zante is the most southerly of the Ionian group of islands and the spectacular beaches are considered to be some of the finest in all of Greece. Dramatic sea caves and towering white cliffs give way to soft white beaches, some of which are nesting sites for Loggerhead turtles. It's easy to bask in the sun on a summer holiday in Zante or you could explore the interior in spring to avoid the crowds.

How to get to Zante

Since it's been a favourite sun destination for years, cheap holidays to Zante are easy to find. Either book your flights to Zante separately from your accommodation or let us do the hard work and book a Zante holiday package using our search. Flying to Zante from the UK takes just over three hours and the island is served by all the major tour operators from a variety of London and regional airports.

When to go

If you're after a summer holiday in Zante in 2013 be sure to book early. The popularity of this island in peak times is due to wonderful weather in July and August, but that does mean that the prices are much higher at this time. If you want a cheap Zante holiday, consider travelling in September, October, May and June, when the sun's heat is a little less. To save on the pennies, consider a self-catering hotel in Zante.

What to do in Zante

With its laid-back beaches, amazing scenery, a taste of history and brilliant nightlife, Zante has it all. We've heard that Laganas is going to be huge in 2013 with its late night bars and clubs. If you're after a quieter family holiday to Zante, head for the more laid back resort of Kalamaki, with its safe bathing and much calmer atmosphere. Zante Town offers a day out from the beach with amazing architecture, boutique shopping and a whole host of pavement cafes.

Money Saving Tips

Look out for cheap deals, either last-minute holidays or early booking for summer 2013 are likely to save you the most money if you're after a holiday package to Zante. You may find it cheaper to book an independent holiday in Zante. There are lots of self catering villas in the interior of Zante, but still a short drive from Laganas or Tsilivi. Another way to save is to catch a ferry into Zante - they depart from Killini on the Greek mainland.
