Guide
The guide in full
The parties on this site sit in two areas of Zakynthos (Zante), a short ride apart: Laganas, with its strip and its beach clubs on the bay, and the Argassi side of Zante Town, where Gatsby Live Theater and Club Barrage stand on the road towards Vasilikos. In summer 2026 the same parties came back on the same day every week, from early July to early September, many of them Italian nights. Learn the pattern here, then pick your dates.
The night in one minute
A Zante party day has three acts: a beach club or a boat in the afternoon, a break to eat and change, then a club. In 2026 the beach parties ran 17:00–21:00 at Infinity Beach Club (Tuesdays), from 18:00 at El Paradiso Beach Club (Thursdays) and 17:30–21:00 at Pure Zante (Saturdays). Papi Chulo opened Sizzle Club at 23:00, Club Barrage started its Friday and Sunday nights at midnight, and so did Favelas at Garrison Club. Seven of the eight weekly club nights included a drink; Martedì Bianco asked for all white and Elegant Party for dress to impress.
What ran each night in 2026
Monday: Favelas at Garrison Club. Tuesday: Beach Party at Infinity, then Little Italy at Sizzle Club or Martedì Bianco at Club Barrage. Wednesday: the Mamma Mia! boat trip, then Italiano Night at Gatsby Live Theater. Thursday: the Paradiso Sunset Party, then Papi Chulo. Friday: the pirate ship, then Elegant Party. Saturday: the pirate ship or Champagne Spray Italiano, then Dolce Vita at AURA. Sunday: the Latin Party at Club Barrage or a headliner at Gatsby. The week planner turns this into 4, 7 and 10-night plans.
Which weeks to choose
In 2026 the parties in our listings ran from 7 July to 8 September. From 21 July to 26 August every day had at least one of them, and from 27 July to 9 August all thirteen weekly series ran at once. The four Gatsby headliners were all on Sundays: Rondodasosa (19 July), Ludwig (26 July), Guè (2 August) and Shiva (9 August).
Where to sleep
Laganas puts the strip and the beach clubs on foot; Argassi puts you next to Gatsby Live Theater and Club Barrage. From the Laganas strip to Club Barrage it is about 8.6 km by road. Kalamaki sits in between, about 4.8 km from Laganas and 4.5 km from Club Barrage, and Zante Town has the port, the bus station and the evening views from Bochali.
Laganas
Greece's official tourism site calls Laganas the heart of the island's nightlife, with a main strip around 3 km long. In 2026 it held six of our eight venues: Sizzle Club, Garrison Club, AURA and Pure Zante on and around the strip, and Infinity Beach Club and El Paradiso Beach Club on the beach. The bay is part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos, created in 1999 to protect loggerhead turtles.
Argassi
Gatsby Live Theater and Club Barrage stand on the Zakynthos–Vasilikos road on the Argassi side of Zante Town. Gatsby hosted Italiano Night and the four Sunday headliners; Club Barrage had Martedì Bianco, Elegant Party and Latin Party, between an indoor floor and an open-air garden.
Zante Town
The capital is where you arrive by ferry and where the island's KTEL buses start. Club Barrage is about 1.7 km from the ferry terminal by road.
Getting around
Inside Laganas you walk. Between Laganas, Argassi and Zante Town you take a taxi at night, and KTEL Zakynthos runs local lines from Zante Town to Laganas, Kalamaki, Argassi and the airport. Zakynthos airport is between 4 and 7 km by road from all four bases.
