Nightlife in Zante
Zante is a tiny Greek island packed with legendary nightlife. When the sun goes down, the island transforms from a beach paradise to a clubbing hotspot. Tourists from all over Greece and the world flock to this cosy spot in the Ionian Sea to experience warm weather, sandy beaches and a great party atmosphere.
Most of Zante’s bars and nightclubs are located on the eastern and southern coasts of the island. There are several resorts well known for their nightlife in the area including Argasi, Tsilivi, Laganas, Alykes and Kalamaki. Here, visitors can enjoy bar hopping and clubbing with either no or very moderate entrance fees. At night, these places come alive with restaurants, bars, clubs and more, all catering to tourists looking to relax and break away from the stress of everyday life. Nightclubs and discos are often open until sunrise.
Rescue Club in Laganas is the largest on the island with a capacity of over 2000 people. It is naturally one of the most popular in all of Zante, and attracts an enthusiastic mix of tourists looking to have a good time. The club’s extensive facilities boast a DJ booth and extremely talented bartenders. For a fun environment that’s a little less rowdy, the Jungle bar in Alykes is a good option as it’s considerably smaller than Rescue, yet still offers great cocktails and music to suite any taste.
Those in search for a quieter night time atmosphere should head to the village of Vassilikos or Zante’s town centre. These areas offer a more traditional side to Greece, with subdued restaurants serving local Greek food and playing traditional folk music. Kaliva in Tsilivi is a great family friendly spot featuring an outdoor play area for kids, and regularly hosts live music and karaoke events.
With beautiful beaches and parties ‘till sunrise, Zante is an island that runs 24/7. Visitors can let loose here, relaxing by day and partying by night. Because there are so many different clubs, restaurants, bars and discos available, there’s something on the island for everyone, all night long.
