Laganas is situated
on the South coast of Zakynthos and is home to the largest
and liveliest resort.
It is part of a large sweeping bay of mainly flat land, with
gentle hills to the West rising eventually to the mountains
that line the West coast of the island. The most popular resort
of the island owing to the fine sandy beaches and lively nightlife
that goes on until dawn. Many properties are surrounded by
small fields, orchards and olive groves even quite close to
the centre.

Laganas Bay has one of the best resort beaches
of the island. It is around 5km long, fairly narrow with gently
shelving sand into warm crystal clear sea. Water sports are
restricted as turtles use some parts of the bay for nesting.
The area is well known for its wide range of nightclubs and
bars emitting a party atmosphere all night long until the
early hours. This is not the place to visit if you are looking
for a quiet and relaxing holiday as it is most suited for
the young and lively who want to dance the night away. Can
also be suitable for families who don’t mind some noise
from nightclubs and bars. |
