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..

The Base is an elegant cocktail bar located in the heart of Zakynthos town, with a large terrace overlooking San Marco Square. This is a place where you can relax and socialize, with an excellent café and cocktail bar service. Open from early in the morning, for breakfast, until dawn, it is ideal both for sipping a morning coffee at one of the outdoor tables, and for happy hour after a day at the beach. Without a doubt, the Base serves the best cocktails on Zakynthos Island. The Moscow Mule, Spritz, Mojito, Porn Star, and Caipirinha are the most popular.

Boxali

Boxali (or Bochali) is one of the most beautiful areas of Zakynthos town and an excellent choice for happy hour. The best time to come here is sunset, thanks to its position on the hill behind the town, which offers stunning views. The most popular bars are the Diethnes, the Movida and the Latas, which are right next to the panoramic terrace. Although not as popular as Cameo Island or the Base, it’s a perfect place for families and couples looking for a more peaceful setting..

Keri Lighthouse

Keri Lighthouse Restaurant boasts a unique location with fantastic views of the two Mizithres sea stacks. It is a setting exuding understated elegance. An excellent happy hour choice in Zakynthos thanks to its breathtaking views enhanced by the sunset light. Fun fact about this restaurant: outside by the entrance, there is the largest Greek flag in the world, with a surface of 670m² and a weight of 80 Kg (included in the Guinness Book of Records).
