Modern Zakynthos escape in lush gardens

Koukounaria Hotel and Suites, Zakynthos, Greek Islands

Property details

A smart and fuss-free escape to lively Alykes in Zante, with views of the mountains – includes breakfast, dinner, a bottle of wine and more.
  • Resort centre: Koukounaria Hotel and Suites has a great setting close to the centre of Alykes, a small but thriving resort town that’s packed with traditional tavernas and lively bars. It’s a five-minute walk into town and not far to the nearest beach, where you can laze on golden sands while the Ionian Sea laps at the end of your sun lounger.

  • Modern design: The hotel’s bright and spacious rooms provide all you need for an escape to the sun, such as air conditioning for those sultry summer nights, private bathrooms, and more. You might enjoy sea or mountain views, or perhaps a bit of both: the hotel is set within splendid gardens looking out onto gorgeous panoramas over the picturesque coast and rugged island interior. 

  • Bistro dining: The hotel’s own restaurant, Lino Bistro, promises flavours from around Zakynthos and the Greek Islands beyond, made with the finest local ingredients. Pre dinner, head to the Olympic-sized outdoor pool for a relaxing swim and a much-deserved rest on one of the sun loungers dotted around the terrace. There’s also a separate pool dedicated to small guests, a small Jacuzzi pool, plus an outdoor playground which kids will love.

How to get there

The hotel is located 18 kilometres from Zakynthos Airport, roughly a 30-minute drive.

Good to know

Please note, the Jacuzzi is only available at specific hours during the day.

Location and what's nearby

Koukounaria Hotel and Suites, Katastari 290 90, Greece

The island of Zante, or Zakynthos, is a rocky gem cast adrift in the Ionian Sea, surrounded by sparkling waters that lap onto paradisiacal white beaches or up against sheer cliffs. The rocky, hill-strewn interior is carpeted in olive trees and small, tumbledown villages – many now abandoned after the earthquake in 1953. The island offers many facets to suit all visitors: thriving nightlife in Zakynthos Town or Laganas, exploring the island’s history at the Venetian Castle or its forgotten villages, snorkelling and watersports on its beautiful beaches (a trip to Marathonisi ‘turtle island’ to learn about the endangered loggerhead sea turtles is a must-do) or sampling the delicious fresh Mediterranean cuisine in one of the island’s excellent-family run tavernas.
