Kalamaki Beach Hotel, Zakynthos Island in Zakinthos 291 00, open May–August.
Kalamaki Beach Hotel sits directly on Belesis Beach, where golden sand meets crystalline Ionian waters and the Peloponnese coastline rises across the horizon.

This 4.5-star hotel offers the rare combination of private beach access and comprehensive wedding services on Zakynthos Island.
I stayed at this hotel for just one night, and overall, it was a decent experience. One of the biggest advantages was its great location, especially for travelers — it’s very close to the airport, which made getting there super convenient. While you can hear the sound of planes taking off, I found it surprisingly non-disruptive and easy to tune out. However, the room was quite small, which could be uncomfortable for longer stays or if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage. For a short stay like mine, though, it was manageable and served its purpose well. If you’re looking for a place near the airport for a quick overnight stop, this hotel is a convenient and acceptable choice.
