Laganas holidays

Why go to Laganas

Visitors largely take holidays to Laganas for one thing – to party. This buzzing resort on the Greek island of Zante is a classic hotspot of revelry, though it features plenty of other attractions to entertain visitors.

It’s fun. Days are spent lounging in the sun, while nights can be spent drinking and dancing...

Laganas is most definitely where the party is at on the gorgeous Greek island of Zante. The island's most buzzing nightspot, you can't go wrong with a break in the lively resort of Laganas if your holiday wish-list includes nights filled with bars, clubs, pubs and days of snoozing on the sand.

The Ionian Sea crawls lazily on to the five-mile stretch of soft sands in Laganas, where you'll find people sprawled when the sun shines. When the sun goes down, however, the resort springs into life, with throngs of young people keeping the after-hours fun going round the clock.

Located on the south coast of Zante (also known as Zakynthos), Laganas is undoubtedly a party town – you only need to see the mile-long Strip that draws those looking to dance the night away to understand why it’s so popular with younger holidaymakers. But couples and families who like a side dish of music alongside their break might be interested in a stay at the neighbouring resorts of Lithakia or Kalamaki. Both are quiet, traditional and sophisticated, but close enough for an evening stroll into Laganas.

It's not just party people who love holidays in Laganas, though. Every summer Loggerhead Turtles make their way up the beach to lay their eggs. Parts of the beach are closed down each evening to allow these fascinating animals the space they need to give their babies the best chance of survival, but it's a small price to pay to help protect – and get a chance to see – these magnificent beasts.

Laganas holidays can be enjoyed from a variety of mid-range hotels and self-catering apartments or one of the bigger, more luxurious hotels on the fringes of the bay. And if you fancy a break away from the heady antics of the resort, day trips to the Blue Caves, Zante Town or Shipwreck Beach make an interesting alternative to another day at the beach.
