CHECK IN & CHECK OUT
Check-in time should be strictly after 16:00 and check-out time should be strictly before 11:00, as sufficient time is required, to conduct a thorough cleaning and disinfection at the Villa between stays.

Enjoy an easy stroll to Agios Sostis Beach (around 15 minutes on foot), then continue towards Cameo Island, connected by its iconic wooden bridge, an enchanting spot for luminous swims and photographs that feel unmistakably Ionian. For culture, atmosphere, and an elegant evening out, make time for Zakynthos Town: a waterfront promenade, vibrant cafés, boutique shopping, and a wonderful late-afternoon energy that carries effortlessly into dinner.

TO SEE
From nearby small harbours, set out on a boat excursion for the south’s most iconic experiences: Marathonisi (Turtle Island), the sea caves, and wide bays of dazzling colour—best enjoyed in the morning light. Add a sunset drive for cliff-top viewpoints, and balance beach time with a gentle cultural outing in Zakynthos Town, where you can pair local markets with an atmospheric stroll through historic quarters and the hilltop panorama from Bochali.
TO DO
Agios Sostis and the nearby coastline offer a relaxed, delicious introduction to local life—family-run tavernas, fresh seafood, and simple dishes done beautifully. For a change of pace, head into Zakynthos Town for a more cosmopolitan dining scene, from contemporary Greek kitchens to stylish wine bars—ideal for a “dress-up” evening with a waterfront walk before and after.
