Agios Sostis Resort

The calm resort of Agios Sostis, located between the resorts of Laganasa and Limmi Keri, is suitable for spending a romantic, peaceful and undisturbed holiday. Agios Sostis got its name after a small island, separated from the mainland by an earthquake in 1633, located only a few dozens of metres from the beach. The island (called Cameo by the locals, according to the disco which can be found on it) was named after a little church that used to stand there in the 16th century. There is a wooden bridge from the coast to the island, connecting this beautiful resort of Agios Sostis with a place full of weird rock formations, little bays and tall pine trees. On the island, there is a nice pebbly beach (it belongs to a bar, so you are supposed to buy some refreshment if you want to use it).

Agios Sostis beach

The rather narrow but long sandy beach of Agios Sostis with a gentle slope into the sea is suitable even for families with small children and follows up with the big town beach of Laganas. You can also walk to the nearby beach of Porto Koukla which is more spatious and has a sandy surface, too.

What to do in Agios Sostis?

On your walks in the surroundings, you will be fascinated by the landscape passing from a flat land to rocky mountains covered with greenery on the horizon. The coast paths passing through rich green vegetation and olive groves will take the visitors to many beautiful places. Once you get tired of Agios Sostis, you can make a boat trip to the island of Marathonissi, famous mainly for the green sea turtles which lay their eggs in the place. If you are lucky, you can see some of the turtles on the beach. In the small port in the resort, you can rent a boat and go to the Marathonissi island on your own, or rent a bigger boat including the driver.

As for foodstuffs and souvenirs, you can buy them in the small shops along the coast. On the promenade, you will also find tavernas, restaurants, cafés and bars, enriching the holiday stay of the visitors with their friendly and lively atmosphere. You can enjoy nightlife, dance, and a countless number of coctails on the island of Cameo in the nearby Laganas or in the capital of Zakynthos, located about 8 km far away. To the 2.5 distant Laganas, you can walk on a nice path on the beach, or on a road.

12 km from Agios Sostis, you will find the village of Lithaka where you admire traditional way of the locals. In general, Agios Sostis is a good point of departure to make trips all over the island.
