Argasi Holidays

Set between the verdant mountains and the Ionian Sea, the resort of Argasi appeals to couples, families, and young crowds alike. Holidays in Argasi centre round the lively main street, with its shops, bars, restaurants and hotels, and the long, golden-sand beach. The narrow beach of sand and shingle sweeps along the shoreline and attracts sunbathers, swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. It is also fringed by a selection of waterfront bars, so sunbathers won't have to walk far for refreshments.

Evenings in Argasi
Longer beaches and secluded coves can be found further along the coast towards Vassilikos. Evenings are spent on the main street, with its good choice of bars and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy karaoke and British cuisine followed by all-night drinking and dancing at discos. Alternatively, those seeking a quieter evening can head up the hill, away from the main street, to relaxed bars and traditional Greek tavernas. For a wider selection of bars and restaurants, Zakynthos Town is located two miles, (three kilometres) away.
