A restaurant for large groups in Zakynthos Town

Room for the whole party — up to 250

When you're organising for twenty, forty or more, the first question is simply: will we all fit? At Alektor the answer is yes. The restaurant seats up to 250 across an airy indoor room and open-air tables spilling out onto the square, so nobody in your group ends up marooned at a corner table on the pavement. It's one long, shared evening rather than three separate ones — everyone in earshot, everyone in the same photo.

A celebration, not just a dinner

A big group deserves more than plates on a table, and this is where Alektor comes into its own. Every night from 8pm, guitar and mandolin bring the live Zakynthian kantades — the serenades of the Ionian islands — and as the wine goes round and the kefi takes hold, the Greek dancing starts. For a birthday or a wedding party it turns an ordinary meal into the story your group tells for years. Read more about the live music and dancing every night.

Something for everyone at the table

The bigger the group, the more varied the appetites — and a mixed party never has to compromise here. The kitchen is traditional Greek and seafood at heart, with fresh fish from Ionian waters and slow-cooked classics to share family-style, but there are Italian dishes too: proper pizza and pasta for the kids and the fussier eaters. So the seafood lovers, the meat eaters and the ones who only ever order pizza all leave happy from the same table. Browse the full menu before you come.

In the heart of town — call ahead for big tables

You'll find Alektor right on Dimokratias Square, in the pedestrian centre of Zakynthos Town between Solomos Square and Agios Markos — easy to reach and easy to point a whole group towards. Walk-ins are always welcome, but for a large party it's worth a quick call or WhatsApp ahead so a table of the right size is ready and waiting when you arrive. This is a family-run place, and looking after big, happy groups is exactly what it does best.
