The Vasilikos peninsula forms a quiet, traditional resort area on Zante’s southeastern coast, characterised by its natural beauty, olive groves, and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike the island's busier resorts, it offers a retreat focused on tranquillity rather than large hotels or nightlife. Restaurants along the main road and seafront serve national dishes and fresh seafood. The area features several distinct beaches. Vasilikos Beach itself, near the old village of Ano Vasilikos, is a sandy cove with calm, clear waters and rocky areas popular for snorkelling. A short distance east, St Nicholas Beach provides more activity, offering water sports like jet-skis alongside relaxed beach bars and sunset views from the Chapel of Agios Nikolaos. Further south, Gerakas Beach faces west across Laganas Bay, where a long stretch of sand is backed by well-tended olive groves and dense vegetation.

CERN is the world’s largest particle physics lab and home to the famous Large Hadron Collider. You can visit the free Science Gateway, which has hands-on exhibits, short films, and live science demos. Guided tours are also available, but spots are limited and usually go fast — best to arrive early and register on-site.

Separated from Laganas by a 5-kilometre stretch of beach designated as part of the National Marine Park (and as such, free of buildings), Kalamaki is less raucous than its near neighbour and certainly more appealing to families and couples. It shares the same marvellous sands and striking views, and it is very close to the airport.
