Overview of Alykes, Zante

Located on the north-eastern side of the beautiful Greek Island of Zante, is the town of Alykes. Once famous for salt production, today it’s the perfect location for a relaxing family holiday. Full of character, you’re surrounded by lush olive groves and vineyards, traditional taverns, with plenty of shops selling quaint, locally produced souvenirs. That is, if you can drag yourself away from its superb sandy beaches and crystal-clear warm waters, with panoramic views of the turquoise Ionian Sea that are to die for. But you won’t want to be sitting down for long. There are a host of great watersports to try, for some extra excitement, plus take the opportunity to go hiking, cycling and horse-riding all around the island. As one of its most picturesque resorts, this holiday to Zante is hard to beat.
