Good food, open skies, and no rush — right in the heart of Kalamaki.
Zakanthi grew out of a simple idea: a lush outdoor space in the heart of Kalamaki, with handcrafted wooden furniture, good food, and no reason to rush.
The garden was always here. We just put some tables in it.
Plump shrimps in tomato sauce with Greek feta, fresh oregano and a splash of ouzo. Pure Aegean spirit.
Slow-grilled over fire, served with potato salad and lemon dressing. A Greek classic, done right.
Crisp outside, tender within. Served with fresh fries, mixed salad and lemon dressing.
Mussels, shrimps, squid and cherry tomatoes tossed with gremolata. The sea in a bowl.
Crispy rusk, vanilla cream, pistachios and whipped cream. Our take on the island’s beloved sweet.
Vlasis and Nikolas have been running Zakanthi for over ten years. What started as a shared idea turned into one of Kalamaki’s favourite spots — a place built on good food, genuine hospitality, and a friendship that shows in every detail.
We’re open every day through the season. Walk-ins are always welcome — but if you want a table in the garden on a summer evening, it’s worth calling ahead.
Fresh plates, open skies, and a garden full of life
