Zante holidays uncovered- Insider Tips

Regardless of what you’re looking for on your Zante holiday whether it be wild nights or relaxation on the beach you’ll enjoy a holiday in the Zante sunshine. Let the lowcostholidays.com insider tips keep you in the know before your Zante holiday.

Spectacular nights out

We can’t really discuss Zante without mentioning the infamy of its nightlife. Head to the Laganas strip at about 10pm and let the reps charm you into their bars for free drinks. Our biggest recommendation for ending your evening has to be Rescue Club. This is the biggest and possibly best club, hosting famous DJ’s throughout the summer as well as themed nights like neon and school disco. Entry to Rescue Club is free except when they have a famous DJ in when there will be a small fee on the door. The bar staff are amongst the craziest on the island, putting Tom Cruise’s bottle juggling skills to shame and also breathing fire, which we’re sure you’ll agree, is a safe idea surrounded by lots of drunken revellers!

Hidden Gems

For an excellent unusual excursion why not visit the mainland and visit Ancient Olympia – the venue of the first ever Olympic games. So you better get practicing your shot put now in preparation.
