In Solomos Square you will see the Statue of Liberty at the entrance to the square and the Statue of Solomos standing tall in the centre. D. Solomos was a famous Greek poet and a key figure in the Greek War of Independence against the Turks. His most famous poem, Hymn to Liberty, is today the Greek National Anthem. Solomos Square really comes alive at night and is one of the focal points in Zante Town. During the warm summer evenings the square is filled with locals and foreigners, as well as children playing, giving this square a really charming Greek Island atmosphere.

Great atmosphere in any and all of the bars and taverns. Take a stroll for some great night time shopping.
