Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is the most southerly of the Ionian Islands and popular as a holiday destination for its diverse landscape, including beautiful beaches, quaint traditional mountain villages, olive groves and vineyards. The Venetians, who ruled Zakynthos from 1484 to 1797, called the island “Fioro di Levante” (Flower of the East) for its thousands of species of flowers The third largest of the Ionian islands that lie to the west of the Greek mainland, Zakynthos has much to offer holidaymakers of all ages and interests.... from busier stretches of sandy beaches, to small peaceful coves. Famous beaches on the island include Navagio beach, with its iconic shipwrecked boat lying on the sand, and the expansive Laganas beach, breeding ground of the rare Caretta-Caretta loggerhead sea turtle.

The Blue Caves in the very north of the island are home to six of our rental villas, situated on a private estate of 40,000m2, just above the famous caves. The luxury villas to rent here have direct access to the sea by way of a stone path, constructed with great care, leading down to the sea and the impressive Priest's Cave. It is also just a 20 minute boat ride to the famous Navagio shipwreck.

Our other villa rental, Villa Marathias, is located in the south of the island with a view of the sea and Marathonisi Island. This luxury villa to rent offers the best of both worlds, blending secluded privacy with proximity to beaches and nightlife. The nearest beach is just 200m away on foot, while the well known Laganas Beach, with its extensive choice of beach facilities, restaurants and bars, is 11 kms to the north.
