Advantages: lots of cheap drinks offers

Disadvantages: bouncers known to get violent/ fights kicking off between punters

Laganas is the main holiday resort of the Greek island Zakynthos. Home to many cheap and cheesy nightclubs, it makes for a good holiday destination for young people wanting to party on a budget. Attracting many seasonal workers for bar work and repping, there are always bikini clad girls wandering around trying to attract your attention to hand out the evenings cheap drinks deals and lure you into their clubs. On many levels I liked Laganas, it is a great night out with loads of clubs to chose from, not to mention the most impressive bottle flaring I have ever seen by topless barmen!! Drinks are cheap with most bars doing some sort of promotional offer of buy one get one free etc. However, my time in Laganas was somewhat ruined by the thuggish behaviour of two bouncers at one of the bigger clubs on the main street. The night ended in a trip to hospital with two friends, a broken jaw, a broken collar bone and some nasty memories of a baseball bat bearing bouncers..! I wouldn't personally go back there because of this experience, however, I would like to think this was an isolated incidence. I would recommend anyone who goes to Laganas to keep safe and keep a cool head with your wits about you, because anywhere with that many testosterone and alcohol fuelled men is bound to get a bit lairy!

Summary: Good young peoples holiday destination
