Car Rental in Vasilikos Zakynthos

The Vasilikos peninsula, in the south-east of the island, is the place for nature lovers. Pine and olive trees reach almost down to the sea, and the peninsula is home to some of the island's best beaches: Gerakas, Porto Roxa, Agios Nikolaos, Banana Beach, Dafni and Porto Zorro.

Gerakas and Dafni are protected loggerhead turtle nesting beaches within the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. They have special rules, limited facilities and are closed at night during the nesting season, which keeps them wild and unspoilt.

Accommodation in Vasilikos is spread out, and public transport is limited, so a car makes a big difference here. You can move between beaches in a few minutes, find a quiet taverna for dinner, and still reach Zakynthos Town in about 25 minutes or the north of the island in about an hour.
