Porto Zante Villas and Spa, Zakynthos, Greece

Porto Zante is arguably one of the most exclusive and intimate beach resorts anywhere in Europe, with a cluster of just nine lavish pool villas set along a private beach. It’s the perfect place to enjoy some downtime away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, but it’s also a surprisingly good destination for families, with ample space to spread out and a great range of activities. If you regularly travel with Caribtours to more tropical climes but you’ve never managed to find quite the same experience in Europe, this might be the one for you.
