ABOUT LAGANAS
Laganas beach is a long strip of sand that gently shelves into the warm waters of the Ionian Sea, providing an iconic setting of serenity beneath the sun. Stretching from Kalamaki to Agios Sostis, this is one of Zante’s finest beaches and it’s more than broad enough to handle peak season crowds.
Most of the beach is part of a designated marine reserve, ensuring it’s blissfully untouched despite the popularity. Loggerhead turtles nest here and their eggs are carefully monitored by local ecologists.
Laganas deserves its reputation as the liveliest resort on Zante, with well over 100 bars sprawled along a neon strip that runs through the town. Some are clearly focused on the youthful crowd, opening until 8am and pumping out live music. But most are of the small and welcoming variety.
