Where nature meets architecture — and where the minimalism of true luxury echoes the exquisite Mediterranean terrain…

Conveniently located, yet tucked away from the crowds at Tsilivi village in Zakynthos island, Zante Maris Suites is the ultimate destination for infinite relaxation. Each of the hotel’s 45 suites pay homage to relaxed, outdoor living, while at the same time offering its guests the quality pampering of a boutique hotel.

The architecture, with its ultra clean lines, attention to texture and carefully curated color scheme, allows the landscape to organically emerge and command the attention. A mere fifteen minutes walk from the beach and with close proximity to Tsilivi Water Park, Zante Maris Suites is a contemporary oasis, created exclusively for adults.

Here, you can unwind with a holistic massage therapy; let your eyes rest on the views of the lush green gardens; relish the passage of time at the infinity pool, while sipping your bespoke cocktail slowly.

Zakynthos is a striking mosaic of green and blue in the Ionian sea. Famous for its Shipwreck beach (Navagio) — an exposed cove that’s home to the wreck of an old smuggler’s ship — Zakynthos has countless more traits that make it a compelling destination to the discerning traveller.

SUITES
Each Zante Maris suite is your own exclusive, organic universe, complete with olive trees, running waters and stunning views.

A popular choice for all Zante explorers, it is guarantees a day under the sun that has it all: relaxation, swimming, socialising. Next to Tsivili beach is Planos beach, known for its picturesque harbour.

The beach also offers a great variety of activities. Sports lovers will be happy to discover: Jet-ski, pedal boats, banana rides, parasailing, scuba diving, and so much more here.

Makris Gialos

This small beach will become one of your favourites. Beautiful, concealed by cliffs and small caves, all of the natural elements create the perfect scenery for relaxation all day long under Zante’s sun.

Swim to the caves and admire their beauty up-close –a must see for all adventurers. Bigger caves found near the area, can be explored by hiring one of the local boats.

Gerakas and Dafni

The scenery in Zante varies but is always beautiful. The east side of the peninsula of Vassilikos is home to the National Marine Park that protects the Caretta-caretta turtle –absolutely worth a visit. In this area you will find the beaches of Gerakas and Dafni.

Well known by all sports lovers, here you will have the chance to enjoy snorkeling or admire those who do. The beach of Gerakas is located nearby.

Sandy, peaceful and free-spirited –no facilities or beach bars around- the beach will be your tranquility haven. Embrace the perfect setting and enjoy swimming under the sun all day long.

Agios Nikolaos

At the end of the peninsula of Vassilikos, lies Agios Nikolaos beach. It is here that the summer sports ‘community’ gathers since the beach provides a great variety of activities such as scuba diving, jet skiing, wind surfing, parasailing and snorkeling.

Yet, the secret of this beach is a path just behind the chapel of Saint Nicholas. Walk along to reach to reach a long sandy beach called Plaka –also known as Banana beach due to its shape! Admire the Ionian sea and relax until late at night.

Porto Zorro or Azzuro

Port Zorro, located on the north side of the peninsula of Vassilikos, is host to trendy bars that attract lots of party lovers. Music, cocktails and dancing last until late at night or even until sunrise!

If you do not join the beach party, you can simply admire the view to the sea. Porto Zorro offers a unique scenery. Giant rocks emerging from the sea, are the perfect surroundings for authentic Mediterranean holidays.

Kalamaki and Crystal

These two beaches are extremely clean thanks to the volunteers of the Sea Turtle Protection Society, who take good care of it. It is popular mostly due to the fact that the waters remain shallow for a long way out, thus making it a safe swimming place for children of all ages.

Going past the river next to Kalamaki beach you will find the famous Laganas beach. If party-time is on your cards, then Laganas is the spot for you.

Marathia

Here, the crystal blue of the waters meets the vibrant green of the trees. Small, secluded and pebbled, Marathia beach is as an authentic Greek beach as it can get.

Its remoteness pulls only the real explorers, who dare to discover less popular beach choices. Explore the area and let your steps lead you to a near-by, very small beach that offers to you a stunning view over the uninhabited island of Marathonisi.

Xigia

Prepare to be amazed. Xigia is a secluded beach located among big rocks. The turquoise waters –Zante’s most famous asset- also can be enjoyed here. Relax, enjoy the free-spirited essence and embrace the exotic view.

At Xigia beach you can completely rejuvenate yourself thanks to the water’s healing qualities. The natural spring waters that flow into the sea from the beach caves are filled with sulphur, which is a therapeutic spa for your body and mind. Swimming here is a one-of-a-kind experience, body and mind wise.

Koukla and Kamina

Cosmopolitan, gorgeous and well-organised. Both of these two beaches are a must-see during your holidays in Zante. And it could not be otherwise since “Koukla” in Greek means “beautiful”. Turquoise waters, sandy beaches and a spectacular view to the sea, will make your day very rewarding.

Yet the secret of this particular area lies on the shore. Explore the nature that surrounds the beaches to discover the oldest olive trees of Zante. They have stood tall, magnificent and proud for more than a thousand years.

Ambula and Psarou

The Blue Flag has been awarded to both Ambula and Psarou. The first one is a small, picturesque beach, mostly sandy yet with some pebbled spots. Organised facilities and a variety of activities on site, satisfy all types of visitors.

Psarou beach, a few kilometres further on, is a favourite spot among the locals. Sandy, secluded –only accessible by a small road- and with shallow waters, it is the perfect place for a family-oriented day on the beach.

Highlights

Zante is loved by all because it offers everything. It combines spectacular beaches and incredible mountainous views. Here you can find secluded shores to relax, or you can party all day and all night long in cool beach bars.

Zante offers a little bit of everything. Explore everything it has to offer to fully capture the island’s spirit and experience a traditional Greek summer holiday.

Shipwreck Beach

This is the reason you came to Zante. And truly it is a good one. The ‘Shipwreck’ beach, also known as “Navagio”, is one of the most famous Greek beaches in the world. The wreck of an old smugglers’ ship rests amongst the golden sand.

According to the locals, the shipwreck’s story began in 1980 when the ship called ‘Panagiotis’, carrying a freight of contraband cigarettes, while being pursued by the Greek Navy, encountered stormy weather.

The ship ran aground in a shallow cove on the north-west coast of the island, with the crew abandoning ship. The shipwreck lies gracefully on the beach to this day. The turquoise waters that embrace it together with the gold sand create a charming image, one that you will never forget.

Caretta Caretta Turtles

From June till mid September, during the night time, these cute creatures rush to the shore where they lay about 100 eggs each into the sand. The breeding ground is only to be found on the dry part of the sandy beaches around the bay of Lagana.

After two months, the eggs hatch and the tiny hatchlings make their way to the sea. For the protection of this natural process, numerous beaches are closed at night and guarded by volunteers of the Sea Turtle Protection Society.

It is not easy to spot the Caretta-caretta turtles since they are very vulnerable and easily frightened by noise and bright lights. To view them up close, take one of the organised tours starting their voyage to the world of Caretta-caretta, from the port of Agios Sostis or Porto Koukla.

Blue Caves

A journey to Zante is never complete without an exploration of the famous Blue caves. Situated on the northern tip of the island, near the port of Agios Nikolaos, these natural arches and water-caves that have been cut out by tides over thousands of years, form a distinguished image of the kingdom of the sea.

Swim and explore the caves one by one –a one-of-a-kind experience. Snorkeling and diving are also suggested so that you will fully capture the carefree water essence.

Marathonisi Island

It may be uninhabited yet it is precious. Admiring Marathonisi island from afar you are presented with a surprising fact: its shape resembles a turtle! Maybe this is why the Marathonisi beach is also the place where Caretta-caretta turtles choose to breed.

Due to the Caretta-caretta presence, the island is part of the National Marine Park, thus guarded by volunteers that protect the growth of the turtle population.
The other side of the island hosts tiny exotic beaches, ideal places for swimming and total relaxation under the sun.

Hire a small boat and anchor in the caves where from you need to dive and swim in order to reach the hidden beaches. The remoteness of the island offers crystal clear waters and peacefulness like no other.

Zante Town

The island’s capital -called Zakynthos- has 15,000 residents. Vibrant and modern, the city has managed to preserve the traditional spirit of the past, visible in the main squares of Saint Marcus and Solomos.

Exploring the city centre you will find traditional picturesque shops owned by the locals, full of homemade food and handcrafted items. Stroll down the main shopping street of Alexandra Roma and enjoy some much needed shopping therapy.

The ruins of the Venetian fortress lie above town, overlooking Zante’s harbour. The fortress is called Kastro, which means castle in Greek, and adds to the city’s charm with a view of the past.

Walking around the city you will find a mix of modern and traditional buildings. The 1953 earthquake that shook the island was the reason for the reconstruction of lots of areas of the capital.

This is why today, the architecture of Zante’s capital is a unique mix of the traditional and the contemporary, blending both spirits into one –very charming indeed.

Keri Caves

The gorgeous coastline of the Keri peninsula –located on the south west of Zante, will win your heart over at first sight. It will take you more than that though to fully appreciate its beauty. Rent a boat and sail around it to explore the caves, the dark tunnels and the sealife inside.

Reaching the shores, you will be able to find some of the most secluded and quiet beaches of Zante island (ideal for snorkeling and diving). Walk about the beaches and explore nature’s beauty.

While relaxing in the water do not be surprised if you spot a monk seal swimming next to you! Zakynthos is the only place in the Mediterranean region where monk seals are still to be found.

If you visit the beach with your loved one, do not miss out on exploring the two giant rocks called ‘Mitzitres’ up close. According to the local legends, if you go there with your loved one and you look into each other eyes while passing between the rocks, you will stay together forever.

Mountainous Region

The island’s east side offers a gorgeous mountainous experience that can make for an exciting road trip. Picturesque villages such as Loucha, dark green forests full of pine trees, high cliffs offering stunning views of the island and the precious sounds only mountain’s nature can form, create an once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Protected Marine Park

Laganas bay has been a National Marine park since 1999, in order for the endangered Caretta-caretta turtle to be protected. That’s why the bay has been split up into several nautical zones, where fishing is banned and speed limits are extra strict.

On the southeast side even more strict rules apply, with all vessel activities being prohibited. In total, six beaches are completely controlled by the Sea Turtle Protection Society, meaning the visitors should respect certain rules during their stay.

Asian Art Museum
The Museum of Asian Art in Corfu is the only museum of this kind in Greece. It is housed in an imposing neoclassical building near Liston promenade, Espianada square, in the Palace of Saint Michael and Saint George.

This building was constructed between 1819 and 1824 by the British and initially served as the residence of the British High Commissioners of the Ionian islands.

When the Ionian islands were united to the Greek state in 1864, this building was used as a summer residence of the Royal Family. In 1967, the Palace was given to the Municipality of Corfu.

Kanoni Peninsula
The location of Kanoni with the church of Panagia Vlacherna below and the Mouse Island (Pontikonissi) are the most famous and photographed spots of Corfu. Kanoni is actually a quarter of Corfu Town, just a couple of kilometers from the city center.

It took its name from an old cannon that stands on top of the hill. Some steps go down the hill from Kanoni and you reach the small church of Panagia Vlacherna. Fishing boats depart frequently from the church and go to the legendary Mouse Island, just 5 min boat ride.

According to mythology, this rocky island is the ship of Ulysses that was stoned by god Poseidon. In the center of the Mouse Island, there is the 13th century church of Pantokrator. It is also very frequent that you see an airplane landing and taking off from this spot, as the airport of Corfu is right next to the church.

Achillion Palace
The Achillion Palace is ideally located in the picturesque village of Gastouri. This magnificent Palace was built in 1890 exclusively for Elizabeth (Sissy), the former Empress of Austria. The palace used to serve as the summer retreat of the Empress.

Unfortunately, Sissy the Empress passed away in a rather tragic manner when she was brutally assassinated in 1898 in Geneva and the palace was deserted till the year 1907 when it was bought by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. The palace was given the status of a Public building after World War II.

Paleokastritsa Monastery
Monastery of Paleokastritsa on the north western side of Corfu, there is a large Monastery complex dedicated to Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Paleokastritsa. This monastery dominates the whole region. Built on top of a remote hill, it gives gorgeous view of the island and the sea.

This Byzantine Monastery dates back to 1228, however the current complex, the cells of the monks and the yard date from the 18th century.

The monastery has a small ecclesiastical museum with rare Byzantine icons, holy books and other relics. Inside the monastery, there works a traditional olive oil press. The road to the monastery passes through a forest of olive trees and cypresses.

CORFU TOWN
Every summer, Corfu island attracts thousands of tourists and has become a favorite destination for summer holidays. The historical and religious monuments, the picturesque villages, the beautiful nature and the hospitality of the locals offer memories difficult to forget.

Corfu Town is a gem for sightseeing with many monuments from the Medieval times, including the Old Fortress, the New Fortress, Liston Promenade and the Church of Saint Spyridon, protector of the island.

Corfu Town is the capital of Corfu (Kerkyra in Greek) one of the most beautiful and elegant towns in Greece. It is the principal port of the island and one of the largest and most populated (30,000 inhabitants) towns of the Ionian Islands.

Built on a promontory, the town displays a unique architecture which is strongly influenced from the different occupations, such as the Sicilian, the Venetian, the French and the English ones.

From those times, Corfu Town has kept many of its imposing buildings, elegant mansions, superb palaces, French-style flowered squares and beautiful fortresses.

Corfu Fortresses
The Old Fortress of Corfu was constructed by the Venetians in the 15th century on the site of a former Byzantine castle. To make it more secure, they made an artificial fosse. The fortress was connected to the land by a movable, wooden bridge.

In 1819, the British replaced this bridge with the present stable pathway, which is 60m long and stands 15m above the fosse, locally known as contrafossa. Today it is one of the most impressive sights on Corfu.

The New Fortress of Saint Mark in Corfu is also referred to as the Fortress of San Marco. It was built by the Venetians and is strategically located in close proximity to the Old Harbor of the town. It took a rather long time to be built (1576 and 1645).

Saint Spyridon
The church of Saint Spyridon was initially built in Sarocco square, Corfu Town. However, in 1590 it was erected in its present location. The architecture of the church is typical of the Venetian architecture that dominates all over the Old Town of Corfu.

Its bell tower is the highest spot of the town and this is the first thing that you see as the ferry approaches the island. The locals have deep faith in Saint Spyridon, who is considered the keeper of Corfu.

YPAPANTI CORFU
While arriving at Rodostomo Hotel & Spa, you can’t help but to notice a small chapel in the middle of the sea, which is visible from most parts of the hotel. Built on a small strip of land in the sea, the chapel of Ypapanti is the “trademark” of the Kommeno Bay.

The chapel was built in 1713 by Daniel Kombitsi, progeny of an aristocratic family from Crete. After the death of Kombitsi’s, the church first passed to the Theotokis Family and was then sold to the Scarpa Family of Italian origin.

After the death of John Scarpa, who took care of the church, the church was abandoned, endangering it with total destruction, until 1996 where the renovation of the temple was initiated by Eleftherios Ligos, as well as with the support of many believers.

Renovation was done primarily with the use of original construction materials, thus ensuring the authenticity of the church’s form.

Offering a magnificent view of the Bay of Kommeno, Gouvia’s Marina and the Old Town of Corfu, the chapel of Ypapanti is today one of the most picturesque places to celebrate your wedding in Corfu. The church of Ypapanti celebrates on February 2, the feast of Candlemas ( “the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple” )

Kefalonia

Kefalonia! It is the biggest of the Ionian Islands, an astonishing place full of contrasting beauty, “mysteries” and surprises. Along with Ithaca Kefalonia is a prefecture with a population of 39.448 and extents in 904, 4 square km.

The capital of the prefecture is Argostoli, a modern town of 10,000 habitants. Kefalonia was found in ancient times, during the Palaeolithic era, while during the Mycenaean era had been an important centre.

Through history and centuries and because of its location Kefalonia was conquered by many nations and was harried by the Crusaders and the Pirates. It was occupied by the Normans, the Venetians and for a short period of time by the Turks and the French.

In 1800 after the treaty of Constantinople, the Ionian Islands were recognised as an independent state under the name “Eptanisos Politia”. It was the first independent state with its own oligarchic constitution.

Later it was given to the French but after Napoleon’s abdication it came to British hands. In 1848- 1864 the Radical movement arrived on the scene that, lead by Elia Zervos, Gerasimos Livadas, Joseph Momferatos, George Typaldos and many others, formed the fighting core for the island’s independence.

In 1864 Kefalonia together with the other Ionian Islands became a full member of the Greek State.

The Balkan Wars as well as World War I & II and the Civil War, had devastating effects on Kefalonia, while a series of four earthquakes that hit the island in August 1953 caused widespread destruction with virtually every house on the island being destroyed.

The material damages but mostly the depopulation that followed the disaster disturbed the social and economical life of the island.

Since 1980 the improvement in infrastructure works along with the exceptional natural beauties contributed to the tourist development and many investments in the secondary and tertiary fields of the economy.

Now Kefalonia is a modern island offering quality of life to its habitants and visitors. The clean towns and the flowered gardens are identified with the island and appreciable to the visitors.

In the summer the Municipalities of the island organise numerous festivals. In the sweet summer evenings wandering in Lithostroto or the square, you will certainly enjoy traditional Kefalonian serenades. Moreover, do not miss Myrtos’ concerts taking place every August with the participation of many famous Greek artists.

In almost all villages are organised traditional feasts with the participation of local bands, kefalonian wine, local dances, like Balos and Divaratikos.

It is worth visiting Robola’s Feast in August at Fragata, the wine feast at Matzavinata (Lixouri), the stock- farmers’ feast at Themata (Pylaros) and the great celebrations of St. Gerassimos (August, 16 and October, 20) and Virgin Mary’s celebration at Markopoulo (August, 15).

You may also try from the huge variety of traditional local products, especially Robola Wine. Visit one of our modern wineries:

• Robolas’ Agricultural Co- op, in Omala
• Kosmetatos Winery, Minies
• Charitatos vineyard in Lixouri
• Sklavos Winery, Kehriona, Lixouri

You can also buy excellent olive oil, feta cheese, honey, and a variety of local sweets like mantoles, confeto, nougat, pasteli.
The tall imposing mountains that end to crystal, blue waters, the bright natural colours, and the warm hospitality of the locals will certainly impress you.
