Golden Sun

Golden Sun is an all-inclusive hotel in Kalamaki, on the southern coast of the Greek island of Zante. The beach is just 150m away, where you'll find long stretches of sand, with views of mountainous scenery along the coastline. It is surrounded by the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, boasting acres of evergreen trees and nests of loggerhead sea turtles.

The whole family can join the lively food banquet at Giovanni Hall. Local and international specialities are served at buffets and barbeque parties overlooking the pool. After your evening meal, make your way outside for the entertainment, which includes traditional Greek dancing. During the day the poolside bar offers a range of tasty drinks and delicious snacks for guests of all ages.

The a la carte restaurant is reserved for adults, so you can enjoy a quiet romantic meal while the children are having fun elsewhere. Afterwards, maybe visit the cocktail bar where you can settle for a quiet drink or play a competitive game of billiards or darts. Grown-ups can also visit the spa, where you can swim in the heated pool, relax in the Jacuzzi or get refreshed in the Hammam. For a more personal touch book a treatment from the menu.

The air-conditioned rooms at Golden Sun offer WiFi, a TV, a minibar and a hairdryer. Singles, doubles and triples are all available, allowing groups of travellers to pick a combination of rooms that works for them. The Deluxe Family option includes a King sized bed and two single beds in a separate area, both feature a TV, an ideal choice for households who argue over who has control of the remote.

The centre of Kalamaki is around 1/2km away. Here you can try a traditional Greek baklava from one of the local pastry shops or browse for souvenirs. The children won’t want to miss the nearby fun park, where they can find enjoyment on waterslides or bounce around like Tigger on trampolines and bouncy castles.

The island of Zante has a rich cultural history, with plenty of attractions to explore such as museums, ancient ruins, monasteries and the picture-postcard Blue Caves. If you’re a spontaneous traveller and don’t want to make plans in advance, the hotel staff will be happy to assist with booking excursions after you arrive in Greece.
