Alykanas Village Resort

Twenty-four kilometres from Zakynthos Town along the island's quieter northern coast, Alykanas Village Resort sits directly on the beach at Alikanas, a bay largely bypassed by the party crowds of Laganas and Kalamaki.

Six pools spread across the grounds, giving families and couples room to separate without queuing for a lane. Family rooms are a core offering rather than an afterthought, and the on-site restaurant and bar keep guests fed and drinking without a walk into the village.

Alikanas beach is calm, shallow, and clear — practical for young children and snorkellers. Free parking makes the resort workable as a base for driving to Shipwreck Beach or the Blue Caves on the northern cape, both under forty minutes by car.
