Tsilivi + Kalamaki – two sides of Zakynthos on one journey
This trip is perfect for those who want to experience more of Zakynthos without rushing. Over 9 nights, you combine two different locations on the island – each with its own atmosphere, its own pace and the same relaxed holiday feeling.
Tsilivi – beach life with energy and buzz
Your journey begins in Tsilivi, one of Zakynthos’ most popular seaside resorts. Here you’ll find a long sandy beach, crystal-clear waters and a lively holiday atmosphere, with restaurants, cafés and beach bars gathered along the promenade. Tsilivi is easy to enjoy – lively enough to feel vibrant, yet never overwhelming.
One of Tsilivi’s great advantages is its proximity to Zakynthos Town, just 10–15 minutes away. It’s easy and enjoyable to head into town for a stroll by the harbour, a coffee at a café, a bit of shopping or a dinner with sea views – a perfect way to add a touch of city life to your beach days.
From Zakynthos Airport, it takes around 15 minutes to reach Tsilivi, making the start of your holiday smooth and comfortable.
Kalamaki – calmer beach life and local charm
After four nights, it’s time to change pace and continue to Kalamaki, where Zakynthos reveals its calmer, more nature-oriented side. Here, beach life takes centre stage, with a long, gently sloping sandy beach that’s ideal for lazy swim days and peaceful walks along the shore.
Kalamaki is also an excellent base for discovering more of the island. From here, it’s easy to join boat trips along the coast, including excursions to areas where the famous sea turtles live. You can also explore caves, coves and small beaches that are difficult to reach by land.
At the same time, Zakynthos Town is close by, making it easy to combine relaxed beach days with a visit to the city if you wish. For those who enjoy being active, there are great opportunities for walks, cycling and short excursions in the surrounding area.
Evenings in Kalamaki are calm and welcoming, with a good selection of tavernas and restaurants where the pace is relaxed and dinners are meant to be enjoyed slowly. Over five nights, there’s plenty of time to unwind, explore the surroundings and truly savour the final days of your holiday.
A smooth transition between two holiday moods
The distance between Tsilivi and Kalamaki is short – around 8–10 kilometres, which equals approximately 15–20 minutes by car. The transfer is quick and easy, yet still gives you the feeling of arriving in a new part of the island with a different atmosphere and pace.
Transfers – easy to add
When booking your trip with Sembo, you can easily add transfers both to and from the airport and between Tsilivi and Kalamaki. Transfers are selected during the booking process, before you complete your reservation, so everything is arranged in advance and your holiday can begin right away.
A journey for those who want to experience Zakynthos in two different ways – with more variety, more atmosphere and a holiday that truly takes its time. Because sometimes, one week just isn’t enough.
