The Greek island of Zante is a cinematic paradise that’s home to clear blue seas and smooth sands, fresh grapes and olives and a culture that’s steeped in music and festivities. For a phenomenal view that you’ll never forget, visit the mysterious shipwreck viewing platform overlooking Smuggler’s Cove.

Zante’s mild, Mediterranean climate makes it a popular destination throughout the year, and while the parties are the wildest during the summer months, there’s no shortage of things to do on the island on even the coldest, rainiest days. There’s plenty for youngsters to enjoy, too – the water park in Kalamaki is a particular favourite.
