A tiny pine-covered islet linked to Agios Sostis by a wooden bridge. It is a photogenic short stop, particularly at sunset, rather than a major historical attraction.

The resort of Kalamaki shares a long uninterrupted sandy beach that runs from there to Laganas a few miles away. In some places it can be crowded, but the further towards the middle you get the fewer people you find and given its size it's possible to find somewhere quiet.
Reached by boat in Laganas Bay, this small island has striking coves and a famous sandy beach. Visit on a licensed boat trip and expect access restrictions designed to protect turtle habitat.
A family-friendly pebble beach in a sheltered bay, with clear, shallow water and tavernas nearby. It is also a convenient departure point for boat trips to the Keri Caves and Marathonisi.
A crucial turtle-nesting beach with highly restricted access. It is important environmentally rather than a beach to plan a swim around.
The major church of Zakynthos’ patron saint, whose relics are kept here. Its tall bell tower is one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks, and it is an important place of worship rather than simply an architectural stop.
This is a lovely sandy beach in the marine reserve with a complete ban on traffic. It's a quiet beach that has only a few locals on the beach, tavernas for food and drink, along with sunbeds.
