Discover the rich cultural heritage and charming beauty of Zakynthos Town on a 3-hour private walking tour designed for travelers who value authenticity, history, and local flavour. Guided by a knowledgeable local expert, you will explore elegant squares, historic streets, artistic landmarks, and traditional workshops at a relaxed and enjoyable pace.

Your experience begins in Solomos Square, the vibrant cultural centre of the town. Surrounded by neoclassical buildings and lively cafés, the square offers the perfect introduction to the island’s history and architecture. Here, you will visit the Museum of Solomos & Kalvos, dedicated to Zakynthos’ national poets. Inside, admire an impressive collection of post-Byzantine icons, historical manuscripts, and 18th–19th century artworks that reflect the island’s spiritual and artistic heritage.

From there, stroll along the historic Alexandrou Roma Street, once home to Zakynthos’ Venetian nobility. Today, the boulevard is lined with charming boutique shops, local craft stores, and artisan workshops. It is the perfect place to experience the island’s modern artistic spirit while learning about its noble past.

A highlight of your tour is the visit to a traditional Mandolato workshop. Watch skilled confectioners craft Zakynthos’ famous nougat-style sweet using traditional techniques passed down through generations — and enjoy a tasting of freshly prepared Mandolato.

Continue your walk toward the harbour promenade, where colourful fishing boats, elegant bell towers, and sweeping sea views create a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere. Your guide will share stories about the 1953 earthquake, Venetian influences, and the rebuilding of the town.

Depending on timing and guest interest, your tour may also include a stroll through hidden backstreets showcasing local life, traditional architecture, and small family-owned shops — an authentic side of Zakynthos that many visitors miss.
