The Vasilikos peninsula forms a quiet, traditional resort area on Zante’s southeastern coast, characterised by its natural beauty, olive groves, and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike the island's busier resorts, it offers a retreat focused on tranquillity rather than large hotels or nightlife. Restaurants along the main road and seafront serve national dishes and fresh seafood. The area features several distinct beaches. Vasilikos Beach itself, near the old village of Ano Vasilikos, is a sandy cove with calm, clear waters and rocky areas popular for snorkelling. A short distance east, St Nicholas Beach provides more activity, offering water sports like jet-skis alongside relaxed beach bars and sunset views from the Chapel of Agios Nikolaos. Further south, Gerakas Beach faces west across Laganas Bay, where a long stretch of sand is backed by well-tended olive groves and dense vegetation.

Toiny Beach reveals St Barts’ untamed edge along its wind-lashed southeastern coast, where Atlantic swells crash onto a reef break too the endless delight of surfers. Marked as "Côte Sauvage" on old maps, this rugged crescent trades swimming safety for adrenaline-pumping waves — come prepared for rocky shallows and strong currents. The Toiny Beach Club provides creature comforts: a freshwater pool, restrooms, and seaside dining. It’s a fantastic destination after mornings spent beachcombing or watching the sunrise in solitude. Those headland views? Best enjoyed with toes in the sand and a cocktail in hand, far from the island’s busier shores.

Port Zante is the largest cruise port in Saint Kitts and Nevis. The pier area consists of three separate piers designated for cruise ships. The pier area can currently accommodate up to four large cruise ships simultaneously. On busy days, when more than four ships arrive, the ships without a pier either use the cargo port or tender passengers ashore. The Port terminal includes various amenities such as restaurants, shops, cafes and a car park. The port's location could not be better, as it is only a short ten-minute walk to downtown Basseterre or "The Circus" as the locals call it. There is a duty-free shopping area where passengers can buy different goods tax-free. However, in order to benefit from this duty-free rates, local vendors might ask for a proof of non-residence such as a cruise ship card, a foreign driver's license, or a passport.
