About this trip...

Gemini said

Embrace a sun-drenched Greek summer at Angela Studios in Alykanas—part of our popular Solos Exclusives collection. This is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Zakynthos life; beyond the soft golden sands, the island’s ancient olive groves and turquoise bays offer a paradise for discovery, giving you far more than a typical beach holiday.

This welcoming, family‑run residence is set in the traditional seaside village of Alykanas, just a flat 200‑metre stroll from the soft golden sands of Alykanas Beach. Its laid‑back setting and warm, sociable vibe make it perfect for singles looking for relaxing days and lively evenings with like‑minded guests. Here, you can choose your own pace—whether that’s unwinding in your own space or joining the group for shared meals, relaxed evenings, and plenty of opportunities to connect and enjoy each other’s company.

Zakynthos Solos Exclusive

Our Exclusive Property: Angela Studios

Our Exclusive Property: Angela Studios

Angela Studios features spacious studio apartments spread across three floors, with upper levels easily accessible via a lift. Each morning begins with a leisurely breakfast served in the bright and welcoming lounge area, setting the tone for a relaxed day ahead. Guests can spend sunny afternoons unwinding by the pool, perhaps with a good book and a refreshing drink from the honesty bar. With a well-stocked supermarket just a short stroll away, you're free to pick up your favourite snacks and beverages to enjoy at your own pace. At Angela Studios, the focus is firmly on comfort, freedom, and the simple pleasures of a laid-back stay.
  • The Personal Touch: Our hosts and your Solos Tour Leader provide a level of genuine Zakynthian hospitality and personal attention that only a boutique property can offer. From local advice to the convenience of an on-site honesty bar for refreshing drinks, you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.
  • The Perfect Base: Enjoy the luxury of our private pool area, reserved 100% for our group, ensuring you always have a guaranteed sunbed. If you fancy the sea, a flat 200-metre stroll brings you to the soft golden sands of Alykanas Beach. It’s a peaceful sanctuary designed for those who want to switch off while remaining just steps away from the Ionian Sea.
  • Evening Vibes: As the sun melts into the sea, the resort’s waterfront bars and traditional tavernas come alive. With the flexibility of our Bed & Breakfast basis and three included dinners at a nearby local taverna, you’ll enjoy an authentic experience getting to know your fellow travellers over delicious Greek cuisine and lively conversation.
Is a Solos Exclusives Trip Right For You?

Is a Solos Exclusives Trip Right For You?

Our Solos Exclusives trips are our most popular holiday style—small by design and reserved entirely for our guests. You won’t be "one of the only" solo travellers in a big resort; you’ll be part of a small group of 100% like-minded individuals in a property that is exclusively ours.

Who this trip styile is for:

  • The First-Timer: Perfect if you’re looking to dip your toe into the world of group travel without the "what-ifs." We handle all the logistics—from regional flights to transfers—providing the ultimate safety net. With an experienced Tour Leader on-site to ensure everything runs smoothly, you get the security of a group holiday with the total freedom to spend your time exactly how you want.

  • The Social Soul: For those who want the "buzz" of a group but the sanctuary of their own space. You’ll find a warm, easygoing atmosphere by the pool and plenty of opportunities to swap stories over a drink from the honesty bar, all while enjoying the comfort of a private studio with no single supplement.

  • The Explorer: For travellers who want the freedom to choose between a quiet morning with a book, a boat trip to the famous Smugglers Cove, or a hike through Zante’s olive groves. You have total flexibility—join every optional excursion or simply enjoy the 200-metre walk to the golden sands. You don't just have to lie around the pool (unless you want to!).

  • The Authentic Traveller: Ideal if you prefer intimate, family-run hotels over large, anonymous chains. Our hosts at Angela Studios offer a home-away-from-home feel, providing the kind of personal, heartfelt service you only find in a boutique Greek retreat in the heart of a traditional seaside village.

A Fabulous Choice of Optional Excursions

A Fabulous Choice of Optional Excursions

On a Solos Exclusive holiday, your time is entirely your own. While the golden sands are perfect for relaxing, you have total flexibility to dive deeper into the island’s natural beauty:

  • Coastline Cruise: Set sail along Zakynthos’ breathtaking cliffs to see the iconic Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach and explore secluded sea caves.

  • Zakynthos Town Discovery: Spend a day in the capital visiting the Church of Saint Dionysios and soaking up the Venetian-inspired architecture.

  • Island Hiking: For the more adventurous, a guided hike through the island’s rugged interior offers a wonderful way to experience the local flora and stunning vistas on foot.

The Location: Alykanas, Zakynthos

For those craving more variety, the neighbouring resort of Alykes is just 1km away, while the island's capital, Zante Town—once known as the "Venice of the South"—is just a 25-minute drive away, offering ancient churches, museums, and cobbled streets to explore.

Trip Reviews

Brilliant time

This was my first Solos Holiday, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. But what a brilliant time I had and what a great group of people were on the holiday. Highly recommended, and I've just booked my next one which I hope will be as good!

Didn't want to come home

Fantastic week at the Angela Studios in Zakynthos, one of my best Solo's holidays. Great group. I like to go different places for holidays, but would definitely go back to the Angela Studios. Didn't want to come home!

Andy

Perfect greek holiday

What a truly enjoyable week away! Brilliant tour leader, excellent group of like minded fellow travellers, lovely resort with everything you need on your doorstep. Peaceful pool area exclusive to our Solo's group, and Beach 5 mins away. I plan to book again ASAP.

Fabulous SE Holiday

I have just returned from a Solo's holiday to Zakynthos where Mark Atherton was the tour leader. Where do i start - he was so inclusive and made sure everyone had the best time. He came with us on walks & took us to some great beaches. He also arranged our evening meals which were all so delicious & of course those who wanted to enjoyed a glass of something too. Everyone felt very comfortable being in his company & he made sure everyone was happy and enjoying their holiday. He also arranged trips for those that wanted to go on them and also transport too for them. He is a great tour leader and i would 100% go on another holiday where he is the leader. You are very lucky to have him!!

Optional or Pre-Bookable Excursions

You may wish to take an optional excursion during the course of your stay. Full details will be given at the Information Meeting. All tours should be paid for in Euros. Credit cards are not accepted.

Gratuities
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below. Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €25.00 per week. 
 
Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % add on.
Dress Code
Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes are ideal for the evening. Early and late season evenings can be cool so do ensure that you take a cardigan or jacket and even some rainwear – particularly in May and June when you may experience some spring thunderstorms followed by scorching days!
