L'isola è in piena attività festivaliera con uno spettacolo di fuochi d'artificio stellari che illuminano il cielo
La vostra guida locale esperta ha tutti i migliori consigli da condividere sul Festival di St Dennis.
What to expect
Cibo di strada, vivaci processioni, fuochi d'artificio e bande musicali: la festa di San Dennis è l'evento più importante dell'anno a Zante. E potrete godervi la vista migliore con questo tour serale. Ammirate la processione dei sacerdoti nei loro abiti più belli e poi mescolatevi con la gente del posto nel bazar della festa. Maria, una delle nostre guide locali, dice: "La celebrazione del nostro patrono San Dennis - conosciuto localmente come Dioniso - è l'evento più importante nell'agenda di ogni zacintese. Un momento importante per me è vedere la città in tutte le sue decorazioni festive mentre ci aggiriamo per il bazar".Per commemorare il santo patrono dell'isola, il 24 agosto tutta Zante si riunisce per festeggiare. Potrete partecipare ai festeggiamenti recandovi nella città di Zante nel tardo pomeriggio. Prendete posto tra la folla per assistere alla processione, prima di avere la possibilità di mescolarvi con la gente del posto alle bancarelle di cibo e al bazar. Maria dice: "Ci saranno molte prelibatezze locali in offerta, tra cui dolci tradizionali, castagne arrostite e il mio preferito, il loukoumades, una tipica ciambella greca inzuppata nel miele".Immergetevi nell'atmosfera frizzante e scattate le ultime foto della serata mentre i fuochi d'artificio illuminano il cielo prima che l'autobus vi riporti in hotel.

I undertook this trip with a young family. There was a walk from the coach into town where the festival took place. There was no pavement and heading kids along a road with traffic and other pedestrians on was not ideal. When we reached the centre the crowds were much larger than expected so we could see very little. We were told to use loos at restaurants., which had no water and the public loos were vile. We returned to the coach, but we had a great time waiting in a bar enjoying fireworks.

The actual festival was great but the trip advertised and provided by TUI was very disappointing. Advertised as a Tour and with 2 TUI tour guides I expected just that! We were picked up and driven to Zakinthos and dropped off. The TUI tour guide read detail of the festival from her notes, she couldn't pronounce half of the details but told us about 10 times we would be picked up at 11pm. There was NO tour and they were not tour guides! Local bus cost €2 each, this cost €20 each. Not worth it.

Pick up both ways was on time. Guide give good background on festival on bus en route. Walk route to festival was clear and easy to follow on return. Festival itself was interesting and fireworks were fantastic. Market was a bit patchy mostly fake goods and animals in cages which did not appear to be in healthy condition. Only problem was reps lost passenger list for return journey which caused a short delay checking numbers. Luckily driver had a printed copy which was used as a register

Tour guide took us to the church then disappeared,no mention of where to find them in case of difficulties. Everywhere we went was o lying open for food not just drinks,found a little bar where we could get a drink and all the tui staff were there. On return to the coach the map and QR code was wrong location.

The festival it’s self was absolutely amazing and the fire work display was out of this world but TUIs side of this was less than satisfactory the reps raced off left us with no information other than a piece of paper and a bus a number they didn’t show us where to find the the TUI reps and information on what was going on and where things was non-existent very overwhelming over all, not what I expected/was sold

Was a great experience giving plenty of time to wander, eat, drink and see the festival but didn’t think this was good value for money especially when charging for a 3 year old.

The procession and the fireworks were phenomenal. Staff should have taken names when guests got on bus; the delay was exceptionally hot and uncomfortable. The trip was too long, and it would have been better to get the coach back an hour earlier. Very difficult to find somewhere for drinks; with the amount of guests, could TUI book a space in a taverna for arrival in Zante town? TUI Guides IN Zante town were excellent.

I do feel that the Rep should have been given a dry run through on the route from where the bus was parked to the church rather than being told that morning and having to rely on google maps. This is a once a year festival with many reps never having attended one. Also the directions to the information/meet point for the boat trip were very vague. However having said that Matt did a fantastic job and we had a great time/

Trip overall was great though cost for travelling there & back on the bus was pretty high. Others booked their own bus for a fraction of the price. Also, there weren’t many bathroom facilities to speak of in the area so it was a bit ‘precarious’, our guide & other TUI staff at the meeting point were really friendly, helpful. The fireworks were awesome. It was a lovely night but the heat with virtually no ‘cover’ and lack of usable toilet facilities in the town did make it uncomfortable.

Es war ein Tolles Erlebnis mit total netten TUI Guides. Wir hätten uns etwas mehr Infos in Deutsch erwünscht. Der Guide war super nett hat aber nur Englisch gesprochen uns das leider mit ziemlichen Dialekt (Schottland?) Das war etwas schwierig zu verstehen. Ansonsten ein tolles Erlebnis.

It was a good opportunity to experience a local festival. Matt the rep was very informative thanks matt. However as a mother and daughter together on the trip we felt we should have met at the main church and walked back to the bus all together. We didn't feel safe walking back to the bus on our own. Also...the fireworks finisheded at 10 and we had another hour and a half before we left we felt too long a wait. The fire works were excellent. Thank you.

It was a great night, the atmosphere in Zakynthos town was lovely. The best part was watching the fireworks from the harbour, it was magical.

We did the trip and the boat viewing it was quite simply " incredible" and an absolute must see. The local community are so friendly and the market is the best we have ever visited.

The festival was great but the cancellation of the fireworks was unfortunate as we promised the children we would see them from the boat. Hanging around the harbour for an hour or so was very disappointing.

There were 3 major defects with this. 1. Bus pick up was at the most busy and dangerous junction in Tsilivi. Nobody knew in advance which side of the road to wait on, or which bus number, and we had to cross the road with a toddler several times - stressful! 2. Guidance stated wheelchair inaccessible. There should have been more clarity that it IS suitable for a child's pushchair. 3. Tell us the fireworks were cancelled before departing on the boat and allow us the choice of staying on land!

We had booked the festival and fireworks, sadly the fireworks were cancelled as we left the harbour. We were left bobbing about for an hour or so, with 6 very unhappy children, it would have been better if we could have disembarked and spent more time ashore , amongst the festivities.

It was all very good to experience the celebration with local Zante people. Trawled the market, had some local food and enjoyed watching the procession and fireworks from the harbour. A lovely experience all round.

It was such a moving experience to see some of Zante's history. Fireworks were tremendous, rep was brilliant. The walk from the bus to the harbour was quite long, which didn't bother me as enjoy walking but for some of the older people may have been a bit of a struggle.
