Map & location
Alykanas, Zante, Greece
Alykanas Beach Grand Hotel by Zante Plaza occupies an enviable spot right on Alykanas’ fine, golden-sand beach on Zante’s north-east coast. The water here is typically calm and shallow, making it especially good for children and paddling. Behind the beach you’ll find a backdrop of olive groves and vineyards, giving the resort a laid-back, village feel.
Stroll around 500m to reach the heart of Alykanas, where traditional tavernas, relaxed bars and small shops cluster along the streets. For a change of scene, Alykes is just along the coast, and boat trips to the Blue Caves or Shipwreck Beach can usually be arranged locally.
