Where to stay in Laganas

01What Laganas is like

Laganas is a resort on Zante known for nightlife and has the island's longest beach, a 5 km stretch of sand with shallow, calm water and sunloungers for hire. The strip is a party street of bars, clubs, restaurants and fast food, and the resort mainly suits young adults and partygoers.^[1] Families and people wanting a quieter trip are pointed to other resorts such as Kalamaki, Tsilivi or Argassi.^[1]

02Types of places to stay

Listings in Laganas are mostly hotels, apartments and studios. Some hotels are all-inclusive, some are adults-only, and some are aimed at families, so check the board basis and the guest type before booking.^[2]

03Strip, side street or beach?

• Close to the strip: you can walk home, and the nights are loud. The strip itself is busy from about 10pm to 6am.^[3]
• Side streets: usually quieter than the main strip, and still a short walk.^[2]
• By the beach: easy beach access for the daytime, with beach bars and eateries nearby.^[1]

04Questions to ask before you book

• How far is the walk to the strip and the venues you want (Pure Zante, Karma, CherryBay)?
• Is it all-inclusive, half board or room only, and are drinks included?
• Is there a pool, and are there noise or check-in rules?
• Are airport transfers included? The airport is about 7 km away.^[4]

05The Trick Zante base

The Trick Zante package includes 5 nights all-inclusive hotel with food and drinks, a pool and sun terrace, a short walk from the strip, and airport transfers. See what is included, or the student guide.
