Map & location
Zante Town, Zante, Greece
Diana Hotel sits right in the heart of Zante Town, just off the historic square of St. Markos and a short stroll from the bustling seafront promenade. Step outside and you’re immediately among Venetian-style buildings, pavement cafés, churches and museums – perfect if you like to feel part of local life rather than tucked away in a resort.
The nearest pebbly beach is around 350m away for a refreshing dip, while the port gives you easy access to boat trips, whether to Shipwreck Beach, turtle-spotting in Laganas Bay or neighbouring islets. In the evening, join locals in the squares of St. Markos or Solomos for leisurely dinners and people-watching.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 15 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s compact rooftop freshwater pool is adults-only, creating a laid-back, almost rooftop-bar feel rather than a busy resort environment. Sunbeds, parasols and free pool towels are provided, and inflatables are permitted, so you can float and take in the skyline views.
When you fancy a sea swim, stroll around 350m to the nearest pebbly beach or continue along the seafront promenade to find different spots to dip and sunbathe. From the harbour, regular boat trips head to sandy bays and swimming coves around the island.
Spa, sports & wellness
Despite its city-centre setting, Diana Hotel packs in a few welcome wellness touches. There’s a small gym with cardio equipment (minimum age 16 years), open during the day, and a cosy spa area with sauna and whirlpool (16+, charges may apply) – ideal after a day exploring Zante’s hills and harbour.
Other on-site facilities include:
• Gym with cardio fitness equipment (approx. 10:00–20:00, 16+)
