Much of the tourism boom in Zakynthos is concentrated in this large resort of low-rise developments, centred around one of the best beaches on the island.
Laganas is the natural nocturnal breeding ground for African loggerhead turtles and British partygoers.
While those green-backed sea creatures head for the beach after sundown, young Brits flock into town for the nightlife which is making a name for itself on the 18-30 scene.
Some noise is inevitable and it occasionally goes hand-in-hand with a bit of boisterous, but mostly good-natured behaviorSerious clubbers will be disappointed by the lack of choice.
There are quieter spots on the outskirts of town.
