Laganas
The hottest spot on the Greek island of Zante (or Zakynthos),
particularly with the British 18-30 party crowd, is the holiday
resort of Laganas, situated on Zante's south west coast. The resort
boasts one of the longest beaches on the Mediterranean, with five
and a half miles (9km) of golden sand, washed by warm, translucent
waters. The beach is a conservation area for about 1,300 loggerhead
turtles that nest on it each year, and visitors are asked to take
care not to disturb the nests. This is also the reason for a ban on
watersports on Laganas beach. The beach is lined with hotels and
apartment blocks, and the town is crammed with restaurants, bars
and nightclubs. Having been turned into a holiday fun-spot, there
is not much of the traditional Greek island atmosphere left in
Laganas, but just a little way out of the resort one can still find
authentic Greek villages and peaceful countryside.
