A Seaside Escape in the Heart of Alykes
Asteria Hotel enjoys a truly privileged beachfront location in Alykes, one of the most charming and laid-back villages on the island of Zakynthos. With the Ionian Sea at your doorstep, you’ll wake up to the sound of the waves and enjoy uninterrupted views of the endless blue.
Alykes is known for its sandy beach with shallow, crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for swimming and families. The village itself offers a balance of local character and convenience, with shops, bakeries, and tavernas just a short stroll away.
From our hotel, you can easily explore the natural beauty, hidden coves, and cultural treasures of Zakynthos — whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both.
