Frequently asked questions
Is Porto Zoro Beach suitable for children?
Generally yes. Porto Zoro has fine sand and relatively calm water, with the characteristic rocks visible in the sea — good for snorkelling. Entry is gradual in the sandy sections. Gerakas Beach (9 km) is also quiet and family-friendly, with the added interest of the sea turtle reserve.
Do I need a car in Vassilikos?
Recommended. Porto Zoro is a few minutes on foot, and tavernas are 4–5 minutes away. But for Banana Beach, Gerakas, Zakynthos Town or the Navagio boat trip, a car is necessary. Free parking at the property. The villa’s bikes are useful for the nearby beaches.
How do I get to Zakynthos?
By plane: seasonal direct flights to Zakynthos Airport (ZTH), approximately 25 km from Vassilikos. By car + ferry: from Kyllini or Patras to Zakynthos Town (~1h crossing), then ~18 km to Vassilikos.
Is Vassilikos lively in the evenings?
No — the area is quiet, with a handful of traditional tavernas. If you want nightlife and entertainment, Laganas (~15 km) is Zakynthos’s main destination for that. Vassilikos is suited to those who want peace after a day at the beach.
