The range of products in the shops in Laganas is quite limited. For a better shopping spree there are buses to Zakynthos town or shopping trips available through tour operators for €5. The bars on the beach are fairly quiet and there is a variety of bars on the strip. Relax bar was the best with Bobby the talented cheeky sod of an entertainer who can be very insulting without really offending anyone. He also seemed like a genuinely nice lad. Cocktails and Dreams, also known as Cocktails and ****holes is exactly that. They sell cocktails and it's full of people falling about and behaving badly. We were advised that people have had their drinks spiked in here, so if you must go in buy bottles, watch it being opened and don't put it down. The night life is generally pretty rough, with fighting, broken glass everywhere and pervy blokes preying on girls who have become separated from their friends. If you walk home alone girls you can expect strange (minging) men to pull up and offer you a ride in their car, to get invited for a free drink in a restaurant that's closed for the night, or some old geezer to pull up in his motorbike and side car to look you up and down to see if he wants to take you for a ride. Aparently Kalamaki is much quieter, but without the many bars of Laganas there's even less to do.
