This villa is ideal for families as the long sandy beach gently shelves into the sea. Located close to the pretty fishing harbour and Cameo Island, the bay is also home to the Loggerhead Turtles.
The Beach Villa has versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there is a spacious lounge, with a sofa and a TV and CD player. The small kitchenette is suitable for making drinks and light snacks. There is one bathroom on this floor which has a WC and a shower. You will find a twin bedroom with French windows opening out onto a large stone flagged, vine-shaded terrace with fabulous views over the beach.
From the lounge, marble stairs lead up to the first floor which has another kitchen, fully equipped, and a dining area furnished with a table and chairs for six people. Doors open out onto a second large terrace, ideal for drinks and al fresco dining. There are two ensuite bedrooms on this level, one twin and one double, both with French windows opening out onto the terrace. Each bathroom has a shower and WC.
There is also a sofabed/daybed in the upper living area that is suitable for an extra child.
The Beach House has sweeping views across the bay, as far as the Vassilikos peninsula. Its elevated position gives a real sense of privacy and additionally benefits from being only a few steps down to the beach.
Please note: as the terrace has a low wall, it may be unsuitable for young children.
Set within beautiful wooded countryside, the area of Agios Sostis has a charm all of its own. This is true Greece where life continues very much in the local tradition.
The working fishing harbour and marina is a starting point for many of the boat trips around the island, and the long sandy beach which shelves gently into the sea is absolutely ideal for children. There are also a couple of beach bars that serve cool drinks and delicious lunches (you should definitely try The Harbourside), with several more tavernas and an excellent fish restaurant to be found close by. Just up the hill from the beach there is a hotel that has a swimming pool and bar that is open to non-residents.
Along the coast from Agios Sostis in one direction the beaches get progressively quieter and less developed, whilst a short walk away in the other direction (although you may have to paddle at high tide!) is the lively resort of Laganas Bay with its many bars, shops and restaurants and a beach that seems to go on forever.
Hot summers and warm evenings are assured on this southernmost Ionian Island. Visitors will find established resorts with plenty of amenities and activities to keep the children busy.
We specialise in Zante villas and apartments outside resorts and in quieter areas on the island such as Bouka and Vassilikos. Enjoy the calm turquoise waters that lap golden beaches along the South coast or explore the more rugged Northern corners of the island. Shipwreck Bay (Navagio Beach) and the Blue Caves are certainly worth seeing.

No family holiday to Zakynthos would be complete without a trip to a waterpark. We can confirm that these are great fun for all the family, including slides, pools, rafting or just lazing by the waterside.
Zante is known as the most important nesting ground for the endangered species of loggerhead sea-turtles, the Caretta-Caretta, and a national marine park had been created to protect and preserve these creatures. During the summer months, holidaymakers can visit Kalamaki or Laganags and take a glass-bottomed boat trip to view the turtles in their natural habitat and even swim with them.
