Metaxa

Metaxa is a 2-star, friendly and family-run hotel near Kalamaki on the island of Zante. There's an outdoor pool set in shady gardens and it's just a short walk to the very popular Kalamaki Beach.

Offering typically friendly Greek hospitality, you'll start every day at the Metaxa feeling welcome and relaxed. Take a morning dip and a bite of the fresh breakfast, before heading into the local town of Kalamaki for a bit of an explore. Kalamaki Beach is one of the best in Zante (we think), it's shallow, sandy and where the turtles come to nest - so watch out for their eggs! Great for kids who want a splash, or the chance of spotting a tiny, baby turtle! Because of the hatching turtles the beach is very quiet, and although planes fly into the airport quite low over the beach, after a while it's barely noticeable. The closest major town is Zakynthos, which can make for a pleasant day-trip. The center of Kalamaki has lots of restaurants and bars to explore serving all sorts of delicious seafood treats.
