Garden Village is more a state of wellbeing than a destination
It is known for its welcoming atmosphere, relaxed environment and rustic surroundings
It’s authentically Greek in its style, food and hospitality ...
It really is a family atmosphere where all things are possible.
The inviting Garden Village outdoor pool was completely renovated in 2020. It’s the perfect spot to just "be"and watch the sun go down.
The Bistro Bar/Restaurant is very popular. Maybe that's because we use all home grown organic ingredients, most of which you can see growing on site, or maybe its just because it really is the place to be !
The memories of your stay at Garden Village will last much longer than the suntan, many people choose to return to top up that feel good factor in terms of that it's a Five Star destination !
Hello
My name is Carol and I have been in travel , tourism and hospitality for 40 Years
My own passion and hobby is travel so I really understand just how important a holiday is !
I am married to a Greek and have lived in Athens and Zakynthos for many years so I really have the inside track for any knowledge or experience you are looking for , including just relaxation.
In the winter months I work as a tour guide so if you are after a little culture or exploring I am always here to advise.
It has been a total pleasure building up GV since 1993 and delivering great holidays , please see trip advisor to see testimonials and reviews
I have a high proportion of repeat clients which I like to think is it’s own endorsement .
All of the staff here have worked in the GV family for many years and we share the same ethos and values and understand that holiday time is precious time.
GV is in the resort of Kalamaki, we are down a small track which leads into our gardens and accommodation which nestles into the garden
The resort is most famous for its association with the turtles which lay their eggs and at certain times of the year you can see the nests but this does not stop you enjoying the beach which is one of the most spectacular on the island beautifully shelving which is only a ten minute stroll away
The resort has lots of diverse restaurants and bars within walking distance
Further afield there are many other alternatives including Zakinthos town which is a must do destination to take in the real essence of the island
We over look Mt Skopos an imposing mountain covered in flowers at the beginning of the season and overs a treasure trove of mountain walks and ruins, along with some astonishing nature
There is ample opportunity to take various excursions to really get amazing views and perspective of the island from the ocean. The Ionians above all the Greek islands have the most amazing scenery , not forgetting the world famous view of the shipwreck the subject of many Instagram posts
I pride myself on my in depth knowledge of the island
