Planning a trip to Zante? First thing most people ask is how much cash do I actually need? And yeah, between beach days, boat parties, and nights out that end in takeaway pizza at 4AM, costs can stack up fast if you’re not paying attention. That’s where this guide comes in. We’ve broken down the real prices you’ll find on the island. No sugar-coating, no travel brochure nonsense. Just straight-up info on what you’ll likely spend on food, drinks, activities, and nights out in Zante. So you don’t blow your budget on day one and end up living off supermarket baguettes. From cheap eats to sit-down meals, two-for-one cocktails to club entry fees, this Zante Budget Guide got it all covered. Want to know how much a full send night costs on the Strip? It’s in here. Curious how much you’ll drop on water sports or a boat party? We’ve got that too.
Zante isn’t crazy expensive, but it’s easy to get carried away, especially when everything feels like a good idea after your second round of fishbowls. With a rough idea of costs, you can plan for the stuff that matters and still have cash left for a spontaneous tattoo or those extra shots you definitely don’t need.
Whether you’re here for a week or doing it big for the whole summer, this guide will help you spend smart without killing the vibe.
Our drink token policy saves you so much money on your holiday. Using drinks tokens means you can set an allowance between you and your friends for drinks and then use them between Pure & CherryBay. We recommend 250€ per person for cocktails / beers / bottles & drinks throughout your time in Zante. Paying cash for drink tokens gives you extra FREE tokens so check the signs at the entrances for the best deals.
This question always pops up with our online office. Bringing cash will always save you money and give you extra money to spend at the resort. Some venues and restaurants will see you using cash and add an extra discount so changing money from pounds to euros is important. Have a hunt around for the best rate, and you can get yourself an extra 50€ to spend!
In a resort, having your money ready to pay off the events means you know you are spending money left in the resort. Budgeting never seemed so easy, you will also hear off our office team to pre pay for your package. Saving money for your holiday always means knowing what money you have ready to get to Zante.
