It's a good choice for parents with teenage kids. The main centre of town is compact giving it a lively atmosphere. Outside the town centre it's much quieter. Nightlife falls somewhere in between Laganas and the other resorts lively but not too rowdy. It has bars, tavernas and nightclubs mainly situated down two streets. For those after a bigger, better and even more lively night out then the party resort of Laganas is just a short journey away.
Travel in the opposite direction and you will find the best beaches on the island like Banana, Gerakas and Dafni. The beach at Argassi is long in fact it spans the whole length of the resort, and even though it is a fairly narrow beach it has both areas of sand and shingle and enough space for everyone without feeling crowded. Watersports are available here that include jet skis and banana boat rides.
The resort itself is compact so all amenities, supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, clubs are close to hand. The centre has a lively feel while the outskirts of the town are more suitable for those who seek the comforts and attractions of Argassi but a chance to stay somewhere more tranquil.
