☀️ Why Visit Kypseli, Zante?
If peace and quiet are top of your holiday wishlist, Kypseli is your Zante hideaway. This traditional village in Greece sits on the island’s east coast, just north of Tsilivi, and offers a true escape from the tourist trail. It's all about unspoilt coastline, authentic charm, and that "we’ve found a hidden gem" feeling.
Kypseli blends rural Greek life with coastal calm, giving you sun, sea and serenity – with easy access to the rest of the island when you fancy mixing things up.
🎉 Top Things to Do in Kypseli
Kypseli is all about slowing down and soaking up the simple pleasures – food, views, and nature at its best.
Hit the Beaches
Drosia Beach – a quiet, rocky stretch with crystal-clear water – ideal for snorkellers and anyone avoiding the crowds.
Psarou Beach – a pebbly, peaceful cove with shallow water and a traditional taverna just steps from the sea.
Ampoula Beach – a slightly livelier option nearby, with a mix of sand and shingle, sunbeds and a beach bar or two.
Soak Up the Scenery
Wander through olive groves and rural footpaths – this area is great for scenic strolls and sunset views.
Visit Kypseli village itself for a proper dose of local life – think sleepy squares, stone houses and slow lunches.
Hire a car and explore the inland hills or pop down the coast to Tsilivi for a livelier day out.
Eat Like a Local
Feast on grilled meats, baked cheeses and just-caught fish at seafront tavernas.
Try local honey and olive oil – many are made right here in the village.
End your meal with a shot of Zante’s local liqueur, tentoura – cinnamon-spiced and surprisingly smooth.
