Is Zakynthos Safe for Women?

I was there with my girlfriends and overall I felt safe but near laganas or at night I felt uncomfortable. A lot of men hit on you and in Laganas you should be careful when going out to a bar or a club and I do not recommend drinking outside. The Men there were mostly younger (18-25) and I didn’t feel like they would really harm me and they usually respected a No but it was very common to get hit on. I don’t recommend walking around at night because we were honked at. I didn’t feel love the Island but the nightlife wasn’t for me

Family travel

I taken my daughter who turned 13 to zante for her birthday and I chose a small very central hotel close to the beach and shops and a 5 minute walk to the party zone. We had an amazing time ans felt very safe as two females alone and I'm planning a solo (my first ever) back at the exact same place this year and I'm nervous to be going alone but also very excited as I hear solo travel is very liberating. This will be my third time to that area as in 2016 I taken my then 18 year old sister with me for her birthday and that's when I fell in love with zante. I'd highly recommend it to anyone but as with anywhere you'd always have to keep your witts about you but the same can be said about your own street it's just that we feel a sense of safety in our own area so we think about that less 😉
