Location

Vassilikos, Zante

In addition to having some of the most beautiful and natural countryside on the island, the Vassilikos peninsula has several fine sandy beaches that are excellent for kids and beach bums. The area has not been subjected to the ravages of mass tourism and is a great place to go to if you enjoy a quieter holiday in beautiful natural surroundings.

There are plenty tavernas and mini-markets conveniently dotted along roads and you will also come across the occasional beach taverna when walking along the soft golden sands of Plaka or the lovely endless Ionian beach which is backed by sand dunes and is completely natural.

Of course there is still plenty to do if you want to seek it out, in St Nicholas you will find the islands watersports centre with a full range of activities, and Argassi will provide a comprehensive range of shops, restaurants and nightlife for those looking for a little more excitement.

Why Holiday in Zante?

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.

Customer Reviews

Feedback on Villa Eleni ...

It was refreshing to arrive and find that Villa Eleni was exactly like the photos. With other companies I have often arrived to find that the photos have obviously been heavily photoshopped! (September 2009)
Villa Eleni was beautiful and set amongst glorious scenery. Both the villa and the pool were well maintained. (July 2009)
We liked everything about Villa Eleni. The villa itself was great and quite new. The garden, pool and terraces were roomy and very good. The view was amazing. The location was brilliant, being close enough to the town but at the same time far enough away from it! There were plenty of tavernas close by with an excellent one within walking distance. (June 2009)
Villa Eleni was a lovely property in a superb location. (June 2009)
I think you undersold this house! We really liked the materials they'd used:- stone, wood and linen. The bathrooms were simple and the kitchen small enough to encourage us to try local foods. It was utterly beautiful and we loved it. The access road is not for the timid, mind you! (May 2009)
The villa was clean and spacious and we received super service from Ellie, the housekeeper.
(October 2008)
A lovely, new and modern villa. Ellie was great and kept the place very clean.
(September 2008)
The villa had a great feeling of space outside and a lovely feel inside. Ellie, the housekeeper was fantastic. (September 2008)
The views from and quality of the villa were very good - the maid service was excellent with a daily clean. (June 2008)
Our villa was spacious and private and very well equipped. It also had an amazing view across the sea to Mount Olympus. The housekeeper Elli was fantastic and took pride in her work whilst being very friendly and informative. (June 2008)
Well designed property, with good sized pool and nice terrace area - great views too. (May 2008)
The villa had a great pool and was in an excellent location. It was also cleaned daily by the maid service. (May 2008)
The villa was brand new and well kitted out. The location was wonderful, but best of all was Elli who looked after the property - she was fabulous. (May 2008)

Vassilikos, Zante ...

I loved the fact that Vassilikos is still unspoilt and it seems that the intention is to keep it that way. Such a beautiful area of Zakynthos - we had a completely relaxing time. (September 2009)
A lovely, scenic location. (July 2009)
Vassilikos provided us with spectacular views across the sea to mainland Greece. We were in a very rural position with more animals than people for neighbours! (June 2009)
Vassilikos is in the more unspoilt part of Zante. There are great hills behind the villa and fragrant breezes waft up from the coast. We saw plenty of flora and fauna and beautiful sunrises over the Greek mainland. (May 2009)
We loved the privacy and remoteness of the location. (October 2008)
A great setting - peaceful, quiet and surrounded by fantastic scenery. The views were amazing. (September 2008)
Plenty of solitude and wonderful views. (June 2008)
The location was very peaceful but close enough to some superb beaches and walking distance to a great taverna. (June 2008)
The views... (May 2008)
The views were breathtaking. This was a great location for a quiet and relaxing holiday. (May 2008)
Amazing views. The setting was generally very quiet but still handy for shops, tavernas and Zakynthos town. (May 2008)

Customer Service

The staff I dealt with when making my booking were brilliant. Really helpful and not at all pushy - so I had complete confidence in their advice. Also, our rep in Zakynthos was great - certainly the best rep we have ever had on holiday! We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely recommend SunIsle to our family and friends. (September 2009)
We had a very enjoyable with SunIsle. Both the car and our rep were waiting at the airport upon our arrival. Everything was very easy and smooth. (July 2009)
We had a great holiday with SunIsle. (June 2009)
Our journey there and back worked perfectly. Your rep was very helpful at the airport and we had a lovely peaceful holiday. (June 2009)
We all loved our SunIsle holiday! Every single person we met or spoke to - from my first email enquiry, to the caretaker at the property who saw us off - was friendly and helpful. Thanks. (May 2009)
We received excellent service from our rep on the island. (September 2008)
Our holiday totally lived up to our expectations. (September 2008)
We received excellent service from SunIsle. Our rep was very prompt and professional. (June 2008)
Excellent accomodation with accurate description (May 2008)
We loved the fact that the rep let us know that she was there if we needed her but then left us in peace. This suited us perfectly. (May 2008)

Other Comments

There are about five restaurants locally that are all fantastic. They are all traditional, so the food is amazing and very reasonably priced. The nearest is about 10 minutes' walk from the villa. (September 2009)
Climb up Mount Skopos, but start early in the morning! (June 2009)
Use the nearest taverna - the owners and the food were wonderful. The walk from the villa to the main road involves a steep hill on an unmade-up road - which might be difficult for older and infirm people. (June 2009)
For beaches, Gerakas in the national maritime park is perfect (great, no facilities!). For eating, Simply Greek in Vassilikos would be hard to beat. The Turtle Info Centre at Gerakas beach runs a catermaran snorkelling & turtle spotting trip which was the highlight of our week. The children enjoyed an afternoon at the water park too. Rent a jeep not an ordinary car, you really need one to get up the mountains... (May 2009)
Check out Dafni Beach which is great for children with shallow water. The Dafni Beach Taverna should also be highly recommended for its fantastic food, service and really lovely owners. (June 2008)
Definately need a car, explore all the beaches south of the villa on the peninsular (May 2008)

Available activities

Waterparks in Zante (Family Fun)

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.

Sea Turtle Spotting by Glass Bottom Boat (Natural Beauty)

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.
