Dafni Beach
Παραλία Δάφνη
A quiet beach on the west coast of the Vasilikos peninsula within a turtle protected area. With shallow water and fine sand, it is far calmer than Laganas.
Dafni Beach lies on the east side of Laganas Bay. It is also a sea turtle nesting beach within the national marine park, so development is strictly limited: there are only a few small tavernas, and entry is not allowed at night. The fine sand and clear, shallow water make it suitable for families, and in the evening you can see the silhouette of Marathonisi across the water. The access road is steep and partly unpaved, so drive carefully. It is about 20 km from Zakynthos Town.
