About the Beach

Alykanas Beach is a beautiful and expansive sandy beach on the northeastern coast of Zakynthos, located in a large bay that merges with the neighboring resort of Alykes. It features fine golden sand and very shallow, crystal-clear turquoise water that remains calm for a long distance, making it a premier destination for families with small children. The beach is well-organized with many rows of sunbeds, umbrellas, and a wide range of water sports, including windsurfing and boat rentals. The surrounding area is vibrant, with numerous traditional tavernas, cafes, and shops just a few steps from the sand. The water is clean and the entry is very easy and sandy for all swimmers, providing a safe and inviting environment for a day by the sea. It is a hub of social activity on the island and reflects the friendly and welcoming character of the Ionian culture. Many visitors enjoy exploring the nearby sea caves by boat or relaxing in the warm, shallow water. The atmosphere is social and reflects the modern spirit of the island tourism. It is a central part of the northern coastline and offers a wide, welcoming horizon for all visitors who enjoy the fresh sea air.
