The Zante Strip is where you’ll be spending your nights on holiday until the sunrise. It’ll be like your second home and before you know it you’ll know exactly where the shops are, where your favourite pre-drinks bar is and which club you plan to end up in.

Although the whole road is 3KM long, the Zante nightlife is within a 1KM strip towards the bottom of the road that leads up from the beach. This means it only takes about 10 minutes to walk from one end of the Zante Strip to the other. This is the main strip in Laganas but the mini-strip road that connects and leads off to the right shown in the map below, Kalamaki Road, is a great place to start a bar crawl or pre-drinks.

Zante Lively atmosphere

Where Is The Zante Strip?

The Zante strip is located in the resort of Laganas which is in the South of the Greek island and where you’ll be wanting to stay. It’s just a 15 minute taxi drive away from the airport which only costs approximately €20.

If you arrive late at night, you’ll see the lights from the strip as your plane comes in to land…you can’t miss it! Not to be confused with the airport strip, you’ll still be wanting to take a taxi or transfer bus from the airport to the Zante nightlife. The walk just from the very top of the road to the beach is 30 minutes and much longer during the day as the heat will wear you down!

The Zante Strip By Day

The Zante Strip by day is a very different scene to when it comes alive at night. Provided you’re not recovering from last night’s antics, there are plenty of daytime activities you can indulge in to make the most of your Zante Holiday. 

Located at the end of the main beach off the Zante strip is Cameo Island. For only a 5 Euro entry, you get access to a Mamma Mia-style island with clear blue water, a beach cafe, and a perfect place for exploring with lots of photo opportunities.  

Alternatively, towards the end of the strip, is where you can find places to rent a boat for the day. As long as you have your driving license, abide by the safety talk (and make sure you take a photo of the boat before you leave the shore), you can enjoy a day off the coast of Zante, visiting places such as Turtle Island.

If you want to keep the party vibes going, you can enjoy a day of poolside drinking games, a bottle of champagne, and making the most of day-drinking, whilst topping up the holiday tan at our Champagne Sessions Pool Party included in the Ultimate Events Package.

Similarly, if you want to explore the coast of Zante accompanied by good music, cheap drinks, or a VIP service and bottle, our Pukka Up Boat Party will be a perfect daytime event for you, meeting at Infinity Beach Club located at the end of the strip. 

If you are still hanging, then chilled days never go amiss in Zante. With the best-rated beaches in the world, you’re not going to be stuck in your hotel room waiting for the night’s event. Laganas beach is a 10-minute walk from Kalamaki Road. If you don’t fancy spending money on a sunbed down the beach, you can always head to Infinity Beach Club, which is free entry provided there isn’t an event running. 

Restaurants On The Zante Strip

Restaurants on the Zante Strip are vast and vary in cuisine. Whether you want a full mixed-grill or just the standard €3 pizza slices from Munchies, Laganas has something for everyone. Craving a kebab after a night out? Don’t worry, the Zante strip has you covered! Ask for gyros (pronounced “gih-ross”), and you’re sorted! Fancy something a little less guilty?

Clubs in Zante are hard to miss. They are mostly all grouped towards the middle and bottom of the strip with huge LED lights, smoke machines, and CO2 cannons for the ultimate clubbing experience.

Over the past year, Zante has elevated itself again, often being compared to a new music scene similar to Ibiza! With the addition of new super clubs such as AURA, party goers have the choice to get immersed in the club atmosphere amongst the DJ or experience a more exclusive clubbing atmosphere with the addition of VIP areas and Booths. You now get more choice than ever in how you spend your nights dancing away on the Laganas strip.

Zante Events Packages through Party Hard Travel make sure you’re not stuck in the same club for the entirety of your holiday. Only the biggest and best 2027 Zante events and parties are booked and included in the Ultimate Events Package coming very shortly… With this in mind, our favourite three clubs in Zante are:

Aura Club Zante view of the crowd

AURA

AURA is Zante’s newest and biggest super-club. With a capacity of over 2000 people and being central to the strip, AURA is home to some of the best events in Zante.

This super club also hosts the international event Agenda(all black dress code), showcasing some of the biggest artist line-ups on the Laganas strip, think luxury clubbing in the heart of Zante. Which you of course get access to in the Zante Ultimate Events Package. You can experience the vibey-atmosphere amomgst the crowd or high-quality VIP bottle service in one of their exclusive VIP booths.

IKON Club Zante

IKON Club is located just off the crossroads on the Zante strip. It hosts the infamous Nathan Dawe Residency every Monday, which we have also included for you in the Zante Ultimate Events Package!  Home to this sell-out event, you’re gonna want to give IKON a visit!

With a VIP area upstairs for a more luxurious clubbing experience or partying with the DJ downstairs, IKON club provides the best of both worlds.

 

 

Sizzle Club Zante

Sizzle

Sizzle is a smaller club located further down the strip, but don’t stress, it still brings the vibes. It’s home to some of the best house music and hosts more exclusive events such as the DLS afterparty.

If you’re looking to continue the high energy after DLS on a Wednesday (of course, included in our Ultimate Events Package) then Sizzle is the spot for you.

Hotels Near The Zante Strip

We only recommend hotels that Party Harders have rated before.

Zante is packed full of hotels near the strip. Although there aren’t any party hotels as such, there are hotels catered towards a lively atmosphere. These hotels are something to look for to ensure you’re not drinking at the poolside bar with people three times your age!

You’ll be charged a Tourist Tax when checking in. This amount is dependent on the star rating of the hotel, the number of nights you are staying and the number of rooms booked. The amount is not typically more than 5 euros per night. It’s also very normal in party resorts for hotels to charge a returnable room deposit. These room deposits are typically €50 euros per person and returned to you after your stay (providing you haven’t had the paint party in your room!). You’ll get these deposits back after the hotel staff give your room a check over when you check-out so don’t go too hard the night before – give yourself plenty of time to check-out and get to the airport.

More than likely, there will be a damages list in your room. You don’t want to blow your spending money on any new furniture so treat the place with respect. After all, this is going to be your home for the week.

As a final cost, if you’re staying in Zante in July or August, you’ll also be wanting air-con which is usually €50 per room per week. Just don’t leave the air-con on overnight whilst you’re sleeping or you’ll end up with the infamous Zante Cough!
