Is ZANTE really as bad as the papers say?

Question

Im off to Zante in 5 days and wanted to hear from others that have already been this year! Did you see much trouble out there? Is the nightlife any good (the main reason im going)? Any good day trips to go on? Is it expensive for drinks etc?

Just generally after a bit of info about the place so we can go there with an idea of what to expect.

I do realise there will be drunken louts on the main strip, been on clubbing holidays for the last 7 years and expect this

Thanks to all that answer <3

Answer 1

Not Zante is not the problem,but the drunken tourists.

Being from there I can assure you that is a lovely place.In the spots where Brits are going they worsten the place.

Drunkers,girls walking around only with their underwear,man dressed as woman ,like is haloween or something...Is awful,and I say that is caused by Brits,because in ther points of the island where there are non-brits spots are peacefull (actually everywhere exept Laganas is nice)

The nightlife can is really nice.Tsilivi-Kalamaki--Laganas-Argasi are some of the main party places.

The drinks depend of the place,in Laganas is cheaper but in Argasi is more expensive,usually Greeks go in Argasi.

If you walk at the road of the port,in the town of Zakynthos,you ll find some day-trip offers,people in this agencies will inform you.

Usually is the island tour,with stops in Navagio(shipwreck),blue caves,etc.

STay away from Laganas and you ll have a great time.

Answer 2

no its not, there are some rowdy clubs and bars depends where you are staying, i was in argassi last year and its a lovly town, as loud or as quiet as you want it to be, and traveled all over the island and i mean all over, never found a troublesome place, not even laganas,

go and enjoy your self , i know you will

Answer 3

No, it&#039;s no where near as bad as the papers say.

Answer 4

Zante (Zakynthos) is a beautiful island - unfortunately is the British (and others but mainly Brits) drunken behaviour that has ruined one small part - Laganas.  If there&#039;s trouble then you can guarantee it will be caused by drunken Brits - be aware and on guard.

Night life is lively (hence the comments above) but be careful of cheap drinks - they can be lethal - don&#039;t want this holiday to be your last, do you?

Answer 5

If you say you&#039;re going for the nightlife and clubbing, then you&#039;re going for the &quot;trouble&quot;. I don&#039;t understand your question, hence. You should be asking &quot;Is Zante really as good&quot;.

anyway, to answer your question, everywhere in Greece you can find beautiful quiet places if you want to. If you go to the places where drunken tourists make &quot;trouble&quot;, it&#039;s your choice.
