Exploring Zakynthos, or Zante, you really can feel like you're on two different islands.

Laganas is one of Europe's most popular party destinations, and the resorts around it are packed during the summer months with visitors from all over Europe. While the beaches of Laganas prohibit water sports, they're extremely popular at Alikes and Argasi.
