Bochali Viewpoint
Μποχάλη
A hillside village below the castle, where café terraces overlook Zakynthos Town and the harbour. The night views are especially lovely.
Bochali is a hillside village above Zakynthos Town, at the foot of the castle hill. From its small village square and the viewing terrace beside the church, you can look down over the town’s red roofs, Solomos Square, the harbour and the whole bay, and the view is even more beautiful after dark. Around the lookout are a few traditional tavernas, and in the evenings they often host performances of Ionian folk songs known as kantades. It pairs well with a visit to the castle and is about a 20-minute uphill walk from the town centre.
