Located in the resort town of Kalamaki, just 5 minutes’ walk from the beach, on the south-east coast of Zante, the Bitzaro Palace Hotel is just 2 km from the airport and 5 km from Zakynthos Town, the island’s capital.

The hotel offers guests an outdoor swimming pool and separate children’s pool and a hot tub. The swimming pools are surrounded by a large wooden deck with sun beds and parasols, perfect for soaking up the sun. An on-site restaurant serves a variety of local and international dishes in the style of a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is a 24 hour reception desk, pool towel rental, tourist information and currency exchange, those are just a few of the facilities available.

Kalamaki is one of the most popular resorts on the island of Zante. It is in the perfect location for exploring the rest of the island. Take a boat trip and cruise alongside the famous loggerhead turtles, or visit the shipwreck beach. Kalamaki beach is a natural extension of Laganas beach, with golden sand and crystal- clear waters. This is an ideal place for swimming and perfectly safe for children.

The sandy beach at Kalamaki is also a reproduction place for the famous Caretta sea turtle. The females lay their eggs on the beach, and 8 weeks later the babies hatch and scurry to the moonlit sea. Power water sports are not permitted in the area and no one is permitted on the beach after sunset.
