For an array of water sports, St Nicholas Beach is your go-to, while Porto Roma Beach offers a peaceful retreat for when you just need some peace and quiet (or time to sleep off that hangover). And, of course, the stunning Banana Beach, with its golden sands and possibly the bluest of blue waters there ever was, is simply irresistible.

Vassilikos holidays aren't just about beach bumming. Explore the lush Vassilikos Peninsula, where olive groves and pine forests set the scene for a proper Mediterranean day out.

Visit the traditional Ano Vassilikos village for a slice of rural Zakynthian life. For the adventurous souls, embark on a boating adventure from St Nicholas Beach. And for a taste of local produce, visit a Zakynthian winery and sample the delightful local vintages. Now we’re talking.

Popular Events

Vassilikos, like the rest of Zakynthos, is rich in local events. We’re pretty sure they have something going on every month of the year. Don't miss the August 15th feast of the Assumption of Mary, a religious celebration filled with music, dance, and local delicacies. And for a unique cultural experience, the Traditional Music and Dance Festival in July is a must-see - don’t forget your dancing shoes for this one.

Feeling peckish after a day in the sun? Vassilikos has got you covered. Try the Galini Restaurant for some top-notch Zakynthian cuisine. And for an evening cocktail with a view, the Neraida Restaurant & Cocktail Bar is pretty hard to beat.

Popular Local Food

A holiday to Vassilikos isn't complete without a culinary exploration. Sink your teeth into Moussaka, a hearty eggplant and potato dish - we promise this is much better than it sounds. Don't miss out on Souvlaki, the Greek version of fast food, but a whhoole lot tastier. And for dessert? Try Loukoumades, sweet little doughnut balls drenched in honey. Perfection.
