Alykanas Village sits directly on the beachfront in the small, traditional resort of Alykanas, on Zante’s north‑eastern coast. The village pairs laid‑back Greek charm – think olive groves, vineyards and family‑run tavernas – with a long stretch of soft sand and gently shelving, bright‑blue sea that’s perfect for children.

Step out of the hotel and you’re mere moments from cafés, mini‑markets and low‑key bars, while neighbouring Alykes is close enough for an evening wander or a change of scenery. By day it’s all about beach time, water sports and exploring the coastline by boat; by night you’ll find relaxed dining, the odd karaoke bar and a friendly, village‑style atmosphere.

Alykanas, Zante, Greece

The main buffet restaurant keeps things easy for families, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served in a relaxed setting and an emphasis on international favourites and Greek flavours. You’ll find show cooking at breakfast and dinner, plus highchairs, a kids’ buffet and a dedicated kids’ menu to keep younger guests happy.

Two bars cover daytime refuelling and evening drinks. The lobby bar opens in the evenings for cocktails and long drinks in a chilled atmosphere, while the snack bar is your go‑to for drinks and light bites between meals, conveniently located close to the pool and beach. Dress is generally casual but beachwear is usually not permitted inside at dinner.

Opening dates and times, reservation policies and inclusions can change between seasons and board options; the hotel will confirm the latest details on arrival.

The heart of Alykanas Village is its expansive outdoor freshwater pool, complete with sunbathing terraces, sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols. Inflatables are permitted, adding to the fun, and the mountain backdrop gives a real sense of space.

Younger guests are well catered for with a dedicated splash park and waterslides – perfect for burning off energy in the sunshine. Do note that age, height or weight restrictions may apply for some slides and splash features.

Just beyond the pool area, a short stroll takes you onto Alykanas’ fine, golden‑sand beach. The sea here is typically calm and shallow for quite some distance, making it ideal for paddling, swimming and simple bucket‑and‑spade days. Local providers along the shore usually offer water sports such as banana boats and windsurfing (seasonal, extra charge).
