Distances
There are many local tavernas both in the port and in the pretty village of Volimes (up the hill behind the house). A small local shop is at the end of the drive. For the more adventurous, a ferry goes to Cephalonia daily, Alykes with its bars, supermarkets and cashpoint machines is 30 minutes by car,whilst the young might enjoy the clubs in Laganas, 45 minutes away at the South of the island.
Further details
Northern Zakynthos is unspoilt, with its olive groves, ancient villages, and pine covered hills sloping down to impossibly blue seas. The peace is broken only by the sound of goat bells as they forage around the ruins of Venetian monasteries, and dry stone walls.
The famous shipwreck beach is close by - accessible either by car or boat from the little port of Aghios Nicalaos.
