The Area

Sitting at around 200m above sea level overlooking the northeast coast and glistening blue sea of Zakynthos, Ibid is well-placed for those who love glorious views, spending time on glorious beaches and exploring picturesque villages and towns. At just over 30km long and 20km wide, Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is easy to get around and many of the island's best spots are in close proximity to Ibid.

A 5-minute drive will take you down to the little harbour village of Agios Nikolaos, which offers most of what you will need on a day-to-day basis, including a beach, crystal clear waters, a minimarket, boat rental and a few tavernas and bars. A couple of other tavernas are within a similar distance at the northern tip of the island.

A few minutes' boat ride up the coast from Agios Nikolaos are the Blue Caves, a series of sea grottoes that are particularly well worth exploring in the morning, when the eastern sun illuminates them with the sapphire colours of the sea. It's also a great spot for scuba diving and snorkelling.

Numerous lovely sandy beaches line the east coast, including those at Makris Gialos and Xigia (15-20mins) and Alykes (30mins).

Heading west across the island, meanwhile, you will soon come to Zakynthos's most popular, most spectacular and most photographed beach: Navagio. Taking its name from the shipwreck that has lain on its sand since the early 1980s, the sandy bay is surrounded on three sides by spectacular tree-topped white cliffs and is only accessible by boat. This sublime setting and the bay's transparent, electric blue waters attract the crowds in high summer, but it's most certainly a sight to behold, both from above and below.

In terms of villages and towns in the area, the unspoilt twin villages of Volimes (upper and lower) have some interesting buildings, including traditional stone-built houses, a windmill, a couple of churches and a 400-year-old monastery. There are also a few eateries, should you get peckish while exploring.

Slightly further afield, though still just a 50-minute drive down the coast, is the capital of Zakynthos, Chora (or Zakynthos Town). A few fascinating Venetian buildings survive, and its museums and galleries, vibrant summery atmosphere, and host of bars, cafés and tavernas make it an attractive proposition for a day out.

An illustration of a guest book

Ibid is a perfect villa, a secluded paradise which had everything you needed. We would wake up to stunning views all around us and in the gardens there were so many various corners to enjoy (rooftop, hammock, pool area, shaded tables etc). We had never been to Zakynthos before and so the advice of the Local Specialists was vital to enjoying the beaches, restaurants and sites. We would return to Ibid because it’s an absolute gem. It’s rare to find one-bedroom villas of this calibre and the owner has infused so much care and love into it. We never wanted to leave!

Antonia Thomas October 2024

We loved Ibid so much we might well be back next year.

Bruce Rankin September 2024

Ibid's location was stunning. Spectacular views, a light breeze, away from the crowds. We had a wonderful experience in a beautiful, magical place. Everything we were hoping for!

MW July 2024

A perfect combination between villa, island and environment.
