It epitomises the charming and laid back style of Greek rural living- time stands still.
Luxuriantly fertile mountains, ancient villages, Venetian monasteries, together with the bustling resorts of the south make this an island to please everyone. There is a delightful little cove just 4 minutes away in the car and a larger beach 7 minutes away with sun beds, pedaloes and taverna. The villages of Ano Volimes and Volimes are just 12 minutes away in the car,where you can buy bread, milk, fruit, vegetables and most other provisions.There is now a Pharmacy and a Government Doctors surgery. Locally there are many tavernas all family run and producing local delicious organic dishes. The famous shipwreck beach and blue caves can be visited by boat which leaves from the Port Agios Nikolas, 5 mins drive away, where there are 2 supermarkets, tavernas, coffee shop and a petrol station. The famous Peligoni Club, a privately owned watersports club, is 5 mins by car.
The owner has a motor boat, with a 30horse power engine [no liscence required] available for rent. Great for exploring the coastline.
For good supermarkets, lively bars, restaurants, cash point machines, long sandy beaches the resort of Alykes is just 15 minutes drive away. If you are after excellent shopping, art and culture the main town Zakynthos, is just 40 minutes drive and certainly worth visiting. The squares in the evening tend to be very lively and there are lots of restaurants to chose from where you can sit under the stars and enjoy local tradition Greek dishes. The island itself is easy to drive around and the scenery very beautiful. You can visit old monasteries, walk among the countryside taking in breathtaking views of cliffs, sea and amazing sunsets.
