The happy hour tradition was imported in Zakynthos from Italy, but to this day there are still very few locations on the island able to meet the standards of true happy hour enthusiasts and none of them offer the food quality and variety offered in Italian bars. Here is a list of the best locations where to spend the most magical time of the day..

Aperitif with a view of the Mizithres Sea Stacks

Just a few kilometers from the charming village of Keri, every Thursday there is a spectacular aperitif with a view of the Mizithres sea stacks in Zante. A unique location offering a breathtaking panoramic view of one of the island’s most iconic attractions. You can enjoy a drink, relax to chill-out music, and unwind as the sun sets after a day at the beach. An unmissable event.
