Zakynthos (also called Zante) is reached by air or by ferry. Zakynthos International Airport "Dionysios Solomos" (ZTH) has seasonal direct flights from many European cities and year-round flights from Athens. By sea, ferries cross from Kyllini on the Peloponnese coast to Zakynthos Town port.

The hotel is about 10 km by road from Zakynthos Airport (ZTH), roughly a 15–20 minute drive through the edge of Zakynthos Town.

There is no direct public bus from the airport to Tsilivi, so most guests take a taxi or a pre-booked transfer. Taxis to Tsilivi cost around €25 one way. Zante Maris Suites can arrange a private transfer on request at an additional cost.

The quickest way is a domestic flight from Athens to Zakynthos, about 50 minutes. Overland, drive or take the KTEL bus from Athens to the port of Kyllini (about 3.5–4 hours), then take the ferry to Zakynthos Town, which takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Yes. Ferries run daily between Kyllini (Peloponnese) and Zakynthos Town port, with more sailings in summer. The crossing takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and carries cars. Zakynthos Town port is about 4 km from the hotel.

A car is the easiest way to explore the island's west coast, the Navagio (Shipwreck) viewpoint, Keri and the mountain villages, where bus service is limited. Tsilivi has rental agencies, and the hotel has free parking. Our team can arrange car hire for you.

Yes. Day trips by boat run to Kefalonia in summer, and from Kyllini you can reach Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, in about an hour by road. Zakynthos is well placed to explore the surrounding area, especially during summer, boat excursions can connect the island with nearby Ithaca, too.

Tsilivi is a lively seaside village on the north-east coast of Zakynthos, about 5 km north of Zakynthos Town. It looks across the Ionian Sea towards Kefalonia and the Peloponnese and is known for calm, shallow water and long sunny days.

Yes, especially for couples. Tsilivi has an easy beach, tavernas and bars within walking distance, but is far calmer than the party resort of Laganas. It is also central: Zakynthos Town, the airport and the north of the island are all within 30 minutes.

Tsilivi Beach is about a 10-minute walk from Zante Maris Suites. For added convenience the hotel also offers a complimentary buggy service to take guests to the beach. The sandy, roughly 600-metre beach has shallow, clear water and has held a Blue Flag award for water quality.

Tsilivi Beach and neighbouring Planos are on the doorstep. Bouka and Tragaki are a few minutes' drive, and the long sandy beaches of Alykes and Alykanas are about 15 km north. All face east, so the sea is usually calm in the morning.

The most famous are Navagio (Shipwreck Beach, view-only in 2026), Gerakas and Banana Beach on the Vasilikos peninsula, Marathonisi (Turtle Island), Porto Limnionas and Porto Roxa on the west coast, and Xigia, known for its natural sulphur springs. Most are under an hour's drive from Tsilivi.

Yes. Outside Laganas, which is known for nightlife, Zakynthos is a relaxed island of coves, olive groves and hill villages. An adults-only hotel like Zante Maris Suites adds a calm, child-free setting by the pool and in the restaurant.

The highlights are the Navagio (Shipwreck Beach) viewpoint, a boat trip to the Blue Caves, turtle spotting in the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, sunset at Keri Lighthouse or the Myzithres rocks, swimming at Porto Limnionas, and an evening in Zakynthos Town. Our concierge team can help book boat trips, private cruises and island tours for you.

Zakynthos Town (Chora), 10 minutes from the hotel, has Solomos Square, the Church of Agios Dionysios (the island's patron saint), the Byzantine Museum, the harbour promenade and Bochali hill with the Venetian Castle and sunset views over the town.

You can see it, but not land on it. Greek authorities have banned walking at Navagio and boats must stay at least 50 metres offshore through 31 October 2026, due to rockfall risk. You can still view the shipwreck from the clifftop viewing platform above the bay or from a boat tour.

The Navagio viewpoint is in the north-west of the island, near the villages of Anafonitria and Volimes, about an hour's drive from Tsilivi. There is parking and a short walk to the platform. Go early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday tour crowds.

The Blue Caves are sea caves at Cape Skinari on the northern tip of Zakynthos, about 45 minutes' drive from Tsilivi. Small boats leave from Agios Nikolaos and Cape Skinari, and many tours combine the caves with a pass by Navagio. The water glows brightest in the morning, and kayak tours also run from May to October.

Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) nest on the beaches of Laganas Bay, in the National Marine Park of Zakynthos in the south of the island. Nesting runs from about late May to August. The most responsible way to see them is a licensed eco boat tour around Marathonisi (Turtle Island); never touch, feed or chase a turtle.

The west coast has the best sunsets: Keri Lighthouse at the southern tip, the white Myzithres rocks at Kampi, and Porto Limnionas. Closer to the hotel, Bochali hill above Zakynthos Town has a sunset view over the town and harbour.

Popular day trips from Tsilivi are a boat tour of the north coast (Blue Caves and Navagio), a drive through the west-coast villages to Kampi and Keri, a turtle-spotting cruise in Laganas Bay, a visit to a local winery or olive mill, and a summer boat trip to Kefalonia.

Yes. Zakynthos is the birthplace of Dionysios Solomos, who wrote the Greek national anthem; his museum is in Zakynthos Town. Visit the Anafonitria Monastery, hear kantades (traditional Zakynthian serenades) in town tavernas, and see the hill villages of Volimes and Kiliomenos.

The best time to visit Zakynthos is April to October. May, June, September and early October are warm, sunny and quieter, ideal for couples. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, and boat trips sell out early.

Zakynthos has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Summer days typically reach around 30°C, and the sea is warmest in August and September. Spring and autumn are warm and pleasant for walking and sightseeing.

Usually, yes. The Ionian Sea stays warm into October after the summer heat, and sunny days are common in the first half of the month. For cooler days, our Swim-Up Suites with heated pools are a good choice.

Yes. Zakynthos combines turquoise coves, private boat trips, sunset viewpoints and Greek food and wine, and an adults-only 5-star hotel such as Zante Maris Suites adds privacy. Honeymoon and Private Pool Suites are the most requested by couples.

Zakynthian cooking blends Greek and Venetian influences. Local dishes to try include sartsa (beef slow-cooked in a tomato and garlic sauce), skordostoumbi (aubergine baked with garlic and tomato), ladotyri (sheep's cheese aged in olive oil) and mantolato, the island's almond nougat. Cava Restaurant features Zakynthian and Greek dishes made with local produce.

Zakynthos is known for Verdea, a traditional Zakynthian white wine, and for local grapes such as Avgoustiatis (red) and Goustoulidi (white). The Zante Maris Suites wine cellar stocks Greek wines only, including island labels, and our sommelier can guide you through them at a tasting.

Yes. Our sommelier hosts guided tastings in the wine cellar, which holds wines from more than 140 indigenous Greek grape varieties. Ask the team to reserve a tasting for you.
