Discover more about Argasi

Argassi, a popular summer resort in Zakynthos, is located just 4 kilometers southeast of Zakynthos Town. Nestled at the foot of Mount Skopos, it serves as a gateway to the island's attractions. The village extends along the coast, centered around its bustling main street, which is filled with bars, restaurants, shops, and rental services. Argassi Beach offers shallow, turquoise waters ideal for swimming and sunbathing, though some areas are pebbly or rocky. The landmark Venetian Bridge, dating back to 1805, stands as a reminder of the island's past. Once part of a coastal road, it now sits partially submerged in the sea due to erosion, offering a picturesque photo opportunity. Beyond the beach, visitors can explore Mount Skopos, hiking to the Panagia Skopiotissa Temple for panoramic views. Argassi's main street comes alive at night with live music and a variety of entertainment options. Its central location makes it easy to access other parts of Zakynthos, including the beaches of the Vasilikos peninsula.
