Where to eat in Zakynthos Town

More than dinner — a whole evening

Most places in Zakynthos Town feed you well and send you home. Alektor is built for the whole evening. From 8pm, guitar and mandolin strike up the kantades — the serenades unique to Zakynthos and the seven Ionian islands — and as the wine flows and the kefi rises, guests get up to dance. You come for dinner and leave having sung with strangers. It's the difference between eating out and a night you'll retell at home.

What's on the table

The kitchen is traditional Greek and seafood first: fresh fish from Ionian waters, slow-cooked classics like stifado and kleftiko, warm mezes to share, and the island's own flavours. There are Italian dishes too — pizza, pasta and risotto with a Greek touch — so a mixed table of Greek-food lovers, seafood hunters and hungry kids all find something they'll remember. Have a look at the full menu, then let the evening take care of the rest.

In the heart of town — with room for everyone

You'll find Alektor right on the main square, in the pedestrian centre of Zakynthos Town between Solomos Square and Agios Markos — close to everywhere, watching the town go by. And where most tavernas are small, Alektor seats up to 250, so whether it's a table for two or a party of thirty, there's a place for you. It also means walk-ins are welcome — there's almost always room for one more. See exactly where to find us, or read about the live music every night.

So — where to eat in Zakynthos Town? Somewhere that gives you the food, the music and the welcome all at once. Reserve a table, or simply walk in.
