Kalamaki Beach Hotel 3 stars

The Kalamaki Beach Hotel is located on the beach of Kalamaki on the south-eastern coast of Zante in the Ionian Sea. The hotel is just 1 km from the centre of Kalamaki where there is a selection of shops, bars and restaurants. The livelier resort of Laganas is just 2 km away, where tourists will find a good selection of shops, bars, restaurants and nightclubs. It is the perfect complex for those wanting to be away from the lively resort centre, but still close enough to enjoy it if they want to.

Zakynthos Town is 4 km away and the airport is 2 km from the resort. The famous shipwreck beach is 33 km away and worth a visit by boat. The beach is a long sandy stretch that is an extension of Laganas Bay and has clear, shallow waters that are safe for children. It also has sun loungers to relax on and parasols for some shade.

The complex is set in 2.5 acres of beautiful landscaped gardens and offers guests 2 outdoor swimming pools, a snack bar, a restaurant, cocktail bar and a traditional taverna on the beach. There is a 24 hour reception desk with car hire, tourist information, parking facilities, currency exchange and a TV lounge.

Kalamaki is one of the most popular resorts on the island of Zante. It is the perfect base for exploring the rest of the island. It is also the preferred place for the world famous Caretta Caretta sea turtle to lay its eggs. The eggs are laid on the beach by the female and hatch 8 weeks later when the babies then rush to moonlit waters and safety. In July and August, tourists are not permitted on the beach after sunset, as this is when the eggs hatch.
