Banana Beach
Παραλία Μπανάνα
A long sandy beach on the east coast of the Vasilikos peninsula, named for its banana-like shape. It has full facilities and a range of watersports.
Banana Beach is the longest beach on the east side of the Vasilikos peninsula, with golden fine sand stretching about 2 km. Behind it lie dunes and olive groves. Facilities include sunbed rentals and a beach bar, and there are watersports such as banana boat rides, parasailing and motorboats, making it good for families. The beach is fairly open, so it does not feel crowded even at peak times. It is about 25 minutes by car from Zakynthos Town, and there are buses in summer.
