La proprietà — Piccadeli
Piccadeli is a straightforward 3-star city hotel on Zakynthos' main town strip, a few blocks back from the waterfront. The lobby feels clean and functional, with a small reception desk, a sitting area, and a breakfast room off to the side. Its USP is location: you can walk to the port, Solomos Square, and the main shopping street in under five minutes. The hotel suits independent travellers who want a base in town rather than a beach resort—practical, not pretty.
Cronache di Zakynthos
Zakynthos Town was rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1953, giving it a modern, low-rise layout rather than the Venetian architecture seen elsewhere in the Ionian. The original settlement grew around a 13th-century Venetian fort—still standing on a hill above the harbour. Today, the town’s café-lined squares and marina support a tourism-driven economy, with ferry connections to the mainland and Kefalonia. Locals still call the island 'Zante' and pride themselves on their music tradition, the cantada. The town’s identity is relaxed and harbour-focused, more about daily life than curated sights.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Zakynthos →I migliori mesi
June and September: warm sea temperatures and long sunny days without the July-August crush. June averages 28°C highs; September stays around 26°C but crowds thin sharply after the 1st.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August is the absolute peak. Greek school holidays and European tourists flood the island, pushing hotel prices to double the shoulder rate. The Zante Feast (23-25 August) adds local festivities, but the main driver is simple beach weather.
Stagione di spalla
May and late September are the budget sweet spots—room rates can be 40% cheaper, daytime temperatures sit in the low-to-mid 20s, and you’ll share the beach only with locals and early/late birds.
Meteo e imballaggio
July in Zakynthos is hot and dry but can have brief afternoon thunderstorms, so pack a light waterproof. Explicit packing rule: bring a sarong or scarf to cover shoulders for Orthodox church visits and a pair of sandals that double as water shoes for the pebbly coves.
Briefing della città — Zakynthos
- The main port area in Zakynthos Town is undergoing a pedestrianisation project through 2026; expect some detours and temporary barriers near the waterfront through summer.
- A new direct bus service from the airport to Laganas and the town centre started in spring 2026, reducing taxi reliance—check the local KTEL schedule for the 'Airport Express' route.
- The open-air cinema at the edge of town (Cine Armonia) is running nightly screenings from 1 July onwards; book tickets in advance as it's popular with both tourists and locals.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Piccadeli, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor, facing the rear of the building (away from the street). These floors reduce street-level noise and offer better ventilation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first and second floors, especially those facing the street. Street noise from Zakynthos town traffic is noticeable, and these floors are also close to the lobby and lift activity.
Best views
Rooms facing the street may have a partial sea or town view, but rear-facing rooms overlook the courtyard or neighbouring buildings. The best view compromise is a high-floor street-facing room with earplugs.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they are above street-level disturbance and away from the lift's ground-floor bustle.
🔊 Noise notes
Zakynthos address suggests a central location near bars, restaurants, and traffic. Expect moped and pedestrian noise until late evening, especially on summer weekends.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the third floor or higher when booking — lifts don't reach higher, but it's worth the climb. If you're sensitive to noise, pack earplugs even for rear-facing rooms; the hotel's central position means some ambient sound is inevitable.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
