Our story

The island changed. The spirit stayed the same.

It began in Zakynthos

Zanzzi began in Zakynthos in 2022, when Stelios and Angela were barely 25 and decided to open a little bar of their own.

Their idea was simple: to create a place that felt like coming back to a friend’s house after work, a place to have a drink, share stories and feel at home.

From the very beginning, Zanzzi was about a cosy atmosphere, good vibes and natural flavours.

And continues in Nisaki

After four wonderful years in Zakynthos, the story continued in Nisaki, North Corfu. Here, Zanzzi grew beyond cocktails to bring food to the table too: modern Greek and international dishes, from tapas to burgers and steaks, with the same love for keeping things simple and fresh.

For nothing in life really matters unless it comes with good company.

  • I asked if they had any (non-carbonated) ice tea, but they didn't. Then they offered to make homemade ice tea especially for us!
