By night, the Strada Marina comes alive, with tourists and locals
strolling along the port
in Zante Town and enjoying food and drink in the cafes, bars
and restaurants that line the waterfront.
There are tavernas, restaurants and cafe bars where you can
sit and relax by the Strada Marina waters, for a drink or a meal,
enjoying the buzz of Zakynthos Town.
If you want something a bit more
casual to eat, there are a number of street stalls along the Strada
Marina road, particularly down by St
Dionisios church. You can choose
between freshly fried doughnuts, barbequed sweet corn and traditional
Greek sweets here – a real taste of Greece, perfect on a balmy summer
night.
While
on holiday in Zakynthos, Zante island in Greece, be sure to visit the main town,
widely known as
Zante Town. The port road, where the yachts and sail
boats are moored, is known as the Strada Marina. This is a charming
place to stroll in the evenings or stop and enjoy a meal while the boats
sail in.
The Strada Marina in
Zakynthos Town is the main coastal road that runs next to the largest
port on the island. Daily boat trips, the main island ferry service,
private boats, and the local Greek fishermen all come into this port –
making it a hive of activity during the day and night.
During the day, especially in the morning, it is always fun to walk down
the Strada Marina; watching the local fishermen selling their catch, and
the
sail boats heading out for a day of exploration. You will experience
a real Greek flavour along the Strada Marina and can’t help but be
charmed by the quaint little fishing boats and bright turquoise port
waters.
By night, the Strada Marina comes alive again, with tourists and locals
strolling along the port and enjoying food and drink in the cafes, bars
and restaurants that line the waterfront.
The outlook from the Strada Marina is really pretty at night, with
twinkling lights reflecting in the port waters impressive yachts moored
along the port.
The enchanting Greek Island horse and cart rides depart from the Solomos
Square end of the Strada Marina, as does the more modern Trainiki
option, which provides a great fun train ride around the
town of Zakynthos. Whether you choose the horse and cart, or the mini train,
both give you a great ride around the town and down the Strada Marina
road. This is a lovely way to end your evening in Zante town!
