The top floor was worth waiting for. Altamira II sits above the olive groves of Ampelokipi, a quiet residential area in the heart of Zakynthos, and the difference in height is everything. The large furnished veranda faces south across a valley of olive groves and hills, with the mountains behind and — on clear days — a distant stretch of the Ionian Sea catching the light on the horizon. Sunrise hits the veranda full on. Sunsets catch the side — warm light across the valley as the day winds down. Inside, the apartment is open-plan and genuinely comfortable for a group of 10. The living area has a working fireplace for cooler evenings, modern sofas, a large TV, and wide glass doors that dissolve the boundary between inside and out. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering — oven, stovetop, microwave, coffee maker — though with a dining table on the veranda and views like this, most meals end up outside. Two bedrooms sleep 6: a quiet double in Bedroom 1, and two bunk beds sleeping 4 in Bedroom 2, which has its own en-suite with walk-in shower. The living room adds two double sofa beds for the remaining 4. Two full bathrooms serve the apartment — the en-suite, and a second with a bathtub. Air conditioning, central heating, washing machine, safe, and high-speed Wi-Fi are all included. Laganas Bay is a short drive south. Zakynthos Airport is 5km away. The nearest supermarket is 3km. A car is recommended — this island is best explored at your own pace.

About the host
Hosted by Panagiotis Markoutsas
I'm Panos, and I've been hosting on Zakynthos for over eight years. This is my island — I grew up here, and the properties I manage have been built and looked after with genuine care. I know which beaches are worth the extra drive, which tavernas the locals actually eat at, and the best time to reach Navagio before the day-trip boats arrive. Christos co-manages with me and between us we're always available. We check in with guests, not on them — but if you need anything, we're there.
Why they chose this property
Ampelokipi sits quietly in the middle of the island, away from the resort noise but with everything within easy reach. Laganas Bay — Zakynthos's most famous beach and one of the most important loggerhead sea turtle nesting sites in the Mediterranean — is a short drive south. Kalamaki Beach, smaller and calmer, is even closer. Zakynthos Town is 15 minutes north, with waterfront tavernas, the Venetian castle hill, and the harbour where boats leave for Navagio and the Blue Caves each morning. The nearest supermarket is 3km, the airport 5km. The roads are easy, the pace is slow, and the evenings on that veranda make it very hard to want to leave.
What makes this property unique
There are three apartments in this building. Altamira II is on the top floor, and that single fact changes everything about the stay. The extra height clears the olive trees and opens up a view — valley, mountains, distant sea — that neither of the floors below can see. It's a modern, well-maintained apartment with real space for 10, a fireplace for the cooler nights of June and September, and a veranda large enough to feel like a room in its own right. For a group that wants comfort, quiet, and a view they'll still be talking about when they get home — this is the one.
