St Nicholas Beach in Vasilikos is equally popular with locals and tourists alike during
the summer months in Zakynthos.
St Nicholas is a beautiful beach, with plenty to keep you occupied during
your day at the wonderful beach in Zakynthos.
A courtesy bus from the popular St
Nicholas beach water sports centre offers free transport from most of the main tourist resorts out to St Niks
beach in Vasilikos. So even if you don’t rent a car during your holiday
in Zante, you will be able to get out to this lovely beach for a day of
pure Greek Island bliss!
The beach of St Nicholas in the south of Zakynthos is known by a number of
names - Agios Nikolaos in Greek, or St Nicholas and St Niks in English.
This is perhaps the most popular beach on the island with the tourists
and Greeks alike.
St Nicholas Beach in the South of Zante is a beautiful sandy bay with a
picturesque white Greek Orthodox Church sitting up on the cliff
overlooking the bay. You really won’t find a more charming spot than
this.
St Niks Beach is a rather small, golden sand bay, with jagged rocks
framing the beach on each side. Like most of the Vasilikos region, the
beach here is adorned with palm umbrellas where you can shelter from the
sun during your day at the beach. These natural umbrellas really add to
the ambience at the beach.
There is plenty to do on St Nicholas Beach with activities for everyone.
There is a superb range of water sports at St. Niks watersports hut – so
you can fly through the skies on a paraglider or take a trip around the
bay on a jet ski. There is even a Scuba Diving School at St Niks so you
can try a dive around the reef at the edge of the beach. There are also
sporting facilities on the beach – with a beach volleyball court up at
Ammos Beach Club and a special area on the beach for a fun game of
rackets.
While you are at St Nicholas be sure to visit the Ammos Beach Club, for a
delicious meal or fantastic refreshments. We think Ammos offers one of
the best iced coffees in Zakynthos! With a divine ambience, wonderful
thatched roof and incredible hand carved wooden furnishings, this is
considered to be one of the top beach clubs in Europe.
Central in the charming village of St Nicholas in Vasilikos is the very
popular Hotel Vasilikos Beach. This hotel provides an excellent base
with lovely facilities and a great swimming pool - ideal accommodation
in Zakynthos for your holiday in Zante.
