Map & location


Argassi, Zante, Greece

Windmill Hotel sits in a peaceful spot on the edge of Argassi, wrapped in greenery yet only a short walk from the resort’s main strip. You’re close enough to wander out for cocktails, karaoke or a low-key taverna dinner, but far enough back to keep nights relatively relaxed back at the hotel.

Argassi itself is one of Zante’s most popular bases: a compact resort with a sand-and-shingle shoreline, plenty of casual dining and easy access to Zakynthos Town for harbourfront strolls, shopping and day trips.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 45 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Days here tend to revolve around the generous outdoor freshwater pool, complete with a separate children’s section so younger swimmers can splash safely. A spacious sun terrace wraps around the water, dotted with sunbeds and parasols, and inflatables are permitted – a plus for families.

When you fancy the sea, Argassi’s sand-and-shingle beach is around 400m away. It’s a narrow but atmospheric strip, backed by bars and cafés where you can grab a drink between dips in the Ionian.

• Currency exchange service (local charges may apply)
