It has a golden sandy beach with some watersports to try, beach bars, interesting souvenir shops, an agricultural museum and some good restaurants. You can take boat trips to the Blue Caves and Smugglers Cove and you can also hire a horse and carriage to go to Alykanas which is fun. Alykanas is a small, typical Greek village surrounded by dreamy bright blue seas and lush olive groves and vineyards. It is very laid back. To the south of the villa, you will come to the busy resorts of Kalamaki and Laganas, Laganas being the more lively. There are many restaurants, bars, cafes and shops as well as a 5km stretch of fine silvery sand. The beaches are protected as turtles nest there so there are no watersports. There is a lot of entertainment for families with 2 large crazy golf courses in landscaped gardens with koi-carp filled ponds. If you want a big party it is best to go to the bars and nightclubs of Laganas or Zante Town. Zante Town was mostly rebuilt in 1953 following a catastrophic earthquake. The coastal road is know as ‘Santa Marina and leads to Solomos Square which is always a busy hub of activity. One of the attractions of the square is the statue of Dionysios Solomos, Greeces national poet who wrote the national anthem. The statue is in the Byzantine Museum. There are restaurants and bars around the square and also around Saint Marcus Square. Bochali is located on a hill above the town and boasts magnificent views of the town and the port. There are some charming restaurants and cafes to visit.
