Zakynthos Town
Couples and travellers who enjoy museums, town walks and dinner out
Solomos Square and the harbour give Zakynthos Town its daily rhythm. The Museum of Zakynthos stands on the square, while Saint Mark’s Square holds the Museum of Solomos and Eminent Zakynthians. Saint Dionysios church adds another stop along the waterfront.
Choose the capital if you like a morning café, a museum visit and dinner reached on foot. Plan swimming as a separate outing, with Bochali and the Venetian castle offering a visit to the hill above town.
We recommend checking the walk to the squares and any parking arrangements before booking. A harbour-facing address does not establish a swimming beach outside the door. An address up in Bochali also changes the walk home.
Our tip
For evenings on foot, compare addresses around Solomos and Saint Mark’s squares. Check parking and your beach route separately from a harbour view.
