Street food, processions animées, fanfares et feux d'artifice, si la fête de la Saint-Denis est le plus grand événement de l'année pour Zante, cette visite nocturne vous propose de profiter du meilleur. Vous pourrez assister à la procession des prêtres dans leurs plus belles tenues, et vous mêler aux habitants dans le bazar du festival. Maria, l'une de nos guides locales, explique : "La célébration de notre saint patron Dennis, localement appelé Dionysos, est l'événement le plus important dans l'agenda des Zakynthiens. L'un de mes moments préférés est de voir les illuminations de la ville sur le chemin de retour au port."

Pour commémorer le saint patron de l'île le 24 août, toute la ville de Zante sort pour faire la fête. Vous pourrez participer aux festivités lors de cette excursion en fin d'après-midi. Vous pourrez vous joindre la foule pour assister à la procession, et vous mêler aux habitants, aux stands de nourriture et au bazar. Maria ajoute : "Il y a beaucoup de délices locaux qui sont proposés, notamment des friandises traditionnelles, des châtaignes grillées et mon préféré, le loukoumades, un beignet grec typique imbibé de miel."

Vous pourrez profiter de l'ambiance de fête et prendre les dernières photos de la soirée sous un magnifique feu d'artifice illuminant le ciel, avant que le bus ne vous ramène à votre hôtel.

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

Reps made us walk on own in dark
