Is Argassi, Zakynthos really worth visiting, or does it get unfairly overlooked? Before our trip, we'd watched plenty of YouTube videos and read countless reviews - but did the reality match our expectations?

In this video, we share our honest first impressions of Argassi, exploring what the resort is really like for couples, families and first-time visitors. From the warm welcome we received from the locals to the fantastic choice of restaurants, bars and nearby attractions, we reveal whether Argassi surprised us - for better or worse!

We'll discuss:
✅ Our first impressions of Argassi
✅ Is the resort friendlier than we expected?
✅ The restaurants, tavernas and quality of the food
✅ Excursions and boat trips you can take from Argassi
✅ Would we return?

If you're planning a holiday to Zakynthos (Zante) and wondering whether Argassi is the right resort for you, this video should help you decide.

Audio sounded pretty good to me and always nice to find a place that you have friendly people in the resort. It has even been hot in the UK in July, so I can only imagine the heat in Greece at this time of the year and we both love Greek food. I hate party resorts, so it looks like you have made a good choice there, especially with the airport being so close too, cheers Alan

I have to say, we loved Tsivili (I think that’s who it’s spelt) back in 2022. Look forward to the upcoming vids! Greek food is one of my faves.

Hi Andy, we like Greece, the islands especially, we tend to look for the shade these days, feel for you in this heat. Looks a lovely place to visit, Glad you have had a lovely time, take care x Julie and Tony x

Audio is very clear! Expected hot and got hot! Dont visit out of season. Friendly restaurants when you’re spending money. A bit too hot on July, at least it’s not on fire like most of Europe. Land train! The food looks great. Ban the quad bikes, watch out for those noisy power cables! Good recommendation 👍

Lovely to see you both! :D Enjoyed this video on your thoughts and honest opinions on Argassi. I've never been to that part, I stayed in the more 'party' district and boy was that alot! haha! Argassi looks wonderful though and it looked like you had some amazing food with great company! Brilliant video :)

Our only Greek Island experience is Corfu (a little further North of Zante)and we have been 6 or 7 times. We find the Greeks to be wonderful. I once asked a Greek bar owner why he was so good to us and he replied "You have been working hard and saving up your money to come and visit us, so we want you to have a good time and come back next year". An attitude which seems lacking in some of the Spanish resorts. Every Greek apartment we have stayed in looks just like yours and we treat them as a base to travel out from. Better than camping! Glad you had a good time. Keith. ps: It's good to see and hear Mrs Out&About!

Hey Andy 😊 I don’t do well in the hot weather either but if it’s gunna be hot then it’s better it happens when on holiday I think! Glad you enjoyed your holiday there and it’s always good if you’d choose to return! 😊

I think it was about 2006-7 when we visited Zakythos. We have only good, warm, friendly memories from our week here. I can vouch for the destination, as do you Andy. What a charming island. And fancy having to eat Greek food all week 🤣🤣. Some punishment. Great video.🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝😎
