Situated within a scenic area planted with olive trees, Planos is a nice tourist resort, close to the sea, at a distance of 7,5 kilometers northwestern to Zakynthos.

A small safe port is available for mooring of small fishing and tourist boats, both at the settlement and at the nearby beach of Buca, at Cape Gaidaros. The village counts some 850 permanent residents.

It is worth visiting the Nautical Museum at Tsilivi; there is a good collection of aquarelles presenting various types of ships and scenes of the marine life since antiquity. There are also displayed ship models, old compasses and other ship equipment, naval suits and a good collection of relative photos.

There are many taverns in the area, where you will enjoy a variety of local or international dishes, above all fresh fish and seafood.

Swimming is possible at the well organised beaches of Tsilivi, Plano and Buca, most of them well organised with swimming, sunbathing and sea sport facilities; you may also choose from several other beaches up to Alicanas, at a distance of 8 kilometers northern to the settlement.

For health problems, you may address to the health services of the nearby capital Zakynthos, 7,5 kilometers far away at the Southeast.
