If you like to be in the heart of things rather than tucked away in a resort, Palatino Hotel Zante is a strong choice. It sits in Zante Town, a lively yet authentic capital where neoclassical façades, churches and buzzing piazzas meet a working harbour.

From the hotel it’s an easy stroll to the town’s pebbly beach for a quick dip, or to the seafront promenade where locals gather for an afternoon coffee. The shopping street of Alexander Roma is close by for leather, pottery and jewellery, while cultural highlights such as the Museum of Byzantine Art and the hillside village of Bohali are within easy reach by taxi.

Zante Town, Zante, Greece

Fuel up for your day in town at the hotel’s main restaurant, which offers a mix of buffet and à la carte service with an international slant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect a relaxed, modern dining room rather than a resort‑style show.

A welcoming coffee bar runs from early morning until late evening, serving hot drinks, soft drinks and a selection of local and international alcoholic beverages – ideal for a pre‑dinner aperitif before heading into town.

A smart‑casual dress code may apply at dinner. Restaurant opening hours, service style and menus can vary seasonally, and reservations or supplements may apply depending on your board basis.

There is no pool at Palatino Hotel Zante, which is part of its city‑hotel feel – but the pebbly town beach is just a short walk away. It’s ideal for a quick swim between sightseeing or a relaxed hour on a sunlounger watching the ferries glide in and out of the harbour.

Those keen on bigger sandy stretches can easily reach other beaches around the island, such as Tsilivi, Kalamaki or Laganas, by local bus, taxi or hire car.

While there’s no spa or organised sports programme, Palatino Hotel Zante focuses on simple comfort and practical services:

• Free Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel
• 24‑hour reception with concierge‑style assistance
• Luggage storage area
• Motorised scooter charging point (local charge may apply)
• Lift access to upper floors

Use the hotel as your town base, then get your activity fix by exploring Zante’s coastline, boat trips to Shipwreck Beach, or hikes up to Bohali fortress for sweeping island views.
