Captain's Hotel

Combination of studios and hotel rooms in an elevated spot with far reaching views of the coast, sea and Zakynthos town. This outlook both from inside and out will compensate somewhat for the rather bland design style. Steep hill back up the street to the property from the centre of the town may not suit all, although handy taxis on the main road below are inexpensive.



The pool is small but there are other larger versions in the sister properties nearby. For those looking for shopping and a more authentic Greek flavour, Zakynthos town is very handy by public transport. Nightbirds will find a few clubs at either edge of the resort.
