Take the mini-train into the countryside
To get a feel for the slow-as-you-like pace of life in Zante, sign up for an excursion on the Trainaki train. You’ll get transported through terraced olive groves and sleepy old villages, stopping off at the Vertzagias caves and the Vergagio Museum of Folk Art at Pigdakia. You can refuel with a glass of local Zante wine before making your return home. The train leaves every day from Alykanas station at 10.45am.
