It is one of the seven principal Ionian islands and the third largest one. The capital city of Zakynthos is\u00a0<strong>Zante<\/strong>\u00a0(or Zakynthos; the capital city is called both Zante and Zakynthos) and is situated in the south-east of the island, at the foot of Bochali hill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I had the opportunity to work in Zakynthos for three months as a tour guide<\/strong>, which allowed me to discover both landmarks of the islands and hidden gems that not many tourists know! I would like to dedicate this article to the best excursions you can take in Zakynthos that will let you discover the best of the island and admire its most remarkable spots. But first,\u00a0<strong>I would like to give you some tips on practical things you should know before planning your trip to Zakynthos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/featured-zakynthos-min.jpg\" alt=\"Porto Roma, Guide toZakynthos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"660\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>WHEN TO VISIT ZAKYNTHOS?<\/h2>\n<h3>ZAKYNTHOS WEATHER<\/h3>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>summer season in Zakynthos is very long, from May to early October<\/strong>, due to the island\u2019s mild Mediterranean climate and sunny, hot weather. The maximum temperature often exceeds 30 \u00b0C (86 \u00b0F) and can easily reach up to 35 \u00b0C (95 \u00b0F), especially in August, but the humidity is not that excessive. There is often a sea breeze blowing, so you don\u2019t feel the heat as much. The sea is warm until early October, so if you are looking into avoiding the intense summer heat and still get to swim and enjoy the pleasant sea temperatures \u2013 you might consider Zakynthos as an option!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/navagio-viewpoint-min.jpg\" alt=\"The view over Navagio beach, Zakynthos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"645\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view over Navagio beach, Zakynthos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT ZAKYNTHOS<\/h3>\n<p>If you are planning to visit Zakynthos and get the most of it,\u00a0<strong>I would highly recommend you to visit the island either in June or September<\/strong>. The island has gorgeous beaches, many natural treasures, important historical sites, and breathtaking viewpoints, as well as many activities and events taking place. All of these can be challenging to admire, visit and enjoy in the high season (July and August), whereas in June or September is less crowded, so you would have the comfort of enjoying the places in a more relaxed atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/sunset-zakynthos-min.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset in Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example,\u00a0<strong>Navagio beach<\/strong>, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and the number one attraction in Zakynthos\u00a0<strong>is extremely busy during the high season<\/strong>, particularly the viewpoint from where you can admire the beach and its surroundings. When I was guiding the tours to Navagio viewpoint in June, it wasn\u2019t crowded at all and it took on average 5 minutes to wait in line before getting to the viewpoint place from where you can catch the best view. On the contrary, in July it was so crowded that some of the people from my group didn\u2019t manage to take their turn and didn\u2019t even get to the viewpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Besides being less crowded,\u00a0<strong>In June and September is cheaper than in the high season<\/strong>. You can get good hotel and package deals, as well as cheap rent-a-car and flight ticket prices.<\/p>\n<p>The water is clearer and maybe a little bit cooler, but still very pleasant and enjoyable. I definitely recommend you consider visiting Zakynthos in June and September, as you\u2019ll get the most of the island (rather than struggling to find a free chair and umbrella at the beach in July and August).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/kalamaki-min.jpg\" alt=\"Kalamaki beach, Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>HOW TO GET TO ZAKYNTHOS?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to get to Zakynthos, based on the time of year you want to visit the island.<\/p>\n<h3>A direct charter flight<\/h3>\n<p>Zakynthos Airport \u201cDionysios Solomos\u201d is located 5 kilometers from the capital of Zakynthos, and it takes 10-15 minutes bus ride to reach it. During the tourist season, which means from June to late September, there are many direct charter flights to Zakynthos.<\/p>\n<p>When I worked on the island, my groups were coming by a direct charter flight from Belgrade (Serbia), organized by the tour agency I worked for. I also had a couple of friends who were coming over to visit me, and they used only the charter flight service of the tour agency, without the need to book a package holiday to Zakynthos.<\/p>\n<p>There are many good flight deals even in the high season, so that\u2019s one of the quickest and most comfortable options. More information on flights, visit\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyscanner.net\/\">https:\/\/www.skyscanner.net\/<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and the official Zakynthos airport website:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zth-airport.gr\/\">https:\/\/www.zth-airport.gr\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/zakynthos-map.jpg\" alt=\"map of Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A flight to Athens, and then a domestic flight to Zakynthos<\/h3>\n<p>This is always an available and good option if you want to visit Zakynthos at any time of year.\u00a0<strong>Aegean Airlines<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Sky Express<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Olympic Air<\/strong>\u00a0are several airlines that have flights from Athens to Zakynthos, and the flight lasts around 1 hour.<\/p>\n<h3>A ferry ride from the port town of Kyllini to Zante<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Kyllini is a port town in Peloponnese and the main place to embark on a ferry that would get you to Zakynthos island.<\/strong>\u00a0Kyllini is located around a 4-hour drive from Athens (287 kilometers) and a ferry ride from Kyllini to Zante is about a 1-hour long. If by any chance, you are arriving with a car, your car is transported on a ferry for an extra fee.

The tours are always a great option because you would have a professional tour guide with you who can provide you with insider information and show you the best of the island. Scroll down for my recommendations for top tours in Zakynthos.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/tour-guide-solomos-square-min.jpg\" alt=\"tour guide in Solomos square, Zakynthos\" width=\"790\" height=\"509\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">I worked as a tour guide in Zakynthos for three months. The photo was taken by one of my guests at Solomos square, Zante town<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Rent a car<\/h3>\n<p>If you are adventurous and enjoy moving around on your own terms and at your own pace, renting a car is a perfect option! There are many car rental agencies in Zakynthos, and you\u2019ll find their counters at the Zakynthos airport as well. I\u2019ll dedicate a separate article on what to visit in Zakynthos by car, as there are so many things to be listed.<\/p>\n<p>As for the car rental prices, it depends. If you are coming during the official tourist season, they will be higher than in June and September.\u00a0<strong>The prices vary based on the type of car and the number of days you are renting.<\/strong>\u00a0The cheapest cars you can find for 30 EUR, which is a very good price given that on other Greek islands you would pay much more.<\/p>\n<h3>Get a motorbike<\/h3>\n<p>Besides car rentals, motorbike rentals and quad rentals are also an option. During the high season, it can get crowded, so motorbike can be easier to get around and find a parking spot in extremely busy places, such as Navagio viewpoint. The prices also cheaper compared to car rentals.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/beach-zakynthos-min.jpg\" alt=\"Porto Azzuro beach, Vasilikos, Zakynthos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"548\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The most beautiful beaches in Zakynthos are on Vasilikos peninsula, The best way to get there is by car. This photo was taken in Porto Azzuro beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>WHERE TO STAY IN ZAKYNTHOS?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several places mostly located in the south and east of the island where you can have a great time and find good accommodation:<\/p>\n<h3>Laganas<\/h3>\n<p>This is a party destination, packed with younger crowd and clubs open until the dawn. The beach is sandy and long, full of beach bars, and very crowded during the tourist season. The main street is full of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, clubs, and hotels. For those in search of active holiday, parties, noise and crowd, this is the best place to go. Laganas is located less than 5 kilometers from Zakynthos airport and is one of the nearest resorts to reach if you are coming to the island by plane.<\/p>\n<h3>Tsilivi<\/h3>\n<p>This is a couple-friendly and family-friendly resort. It is also packed with tourists, but the place is calmer in comparison with Laganas and more suitable for families. The beach is Tsilivi is sandy, long, and beautiful. The water is warm and crystal clear, ideal for swimming and water activities. There are many hotel resorts along the beach, offering all-inclusive service, and several of them are really good (at least I got positive feedback on them), such as\u00a0<strong>Tsilivi beach hotel<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Porto Planos beach hotel<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Planos beach hotel.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Sofos<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Justine apartments<\/strong>\u00a0are also great options if you are not looking into all-inclusive service. Tsilivi is located 12 kilometers from Zakynthos airport (around a 15-minute drive).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/tsilivi-beach-hotel-min.jpg\" alt=\"Tsilivi beach, Zakynthos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tsilivi beach during the tourist season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Vasilikos<\/h3>\n<p>Vasilikos is a peninsula in the southeastern part of the island, where you can find fabulous sandy beaches and luxurious hotel resorts. It is a must-see part of Zakynthos and\u00a0<strong>the best way to explore Vasilikos is by a local bus from Argassi and Zante town, by car or by motorbike<\/strong>. The trip to Vasilikos takes at least a-30 minute drive to reach the nearest beach.<\/p>\n<p>Vasilikos doesn\u2019t have fancy resorts like Laganas and Tsilivi. It is a mountainous area of breathtaking beauty and intact nature, so if you decide to stay in Vasilikos, you would pretty much be stuck in your hotel (if you don\u2019t take a car) because there is nothing around, just nature.\u00a0<strong>My opinion is that Vasilikos is ideal for those who are searching an ultimate peace and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town and everyday life<\/strong>. There is one hotel that I\u2018ve had very good feedback on \u2013\u00a0<strong>The Bay Hotel &amp; Suites<\/strong>, located near St. Nicolas Beach. The hotel is surrounded by lush nature, it\u2019s based on all-inclusive service and has its own private beach. The Zakynthos airport is located a 30-minute drive from Vasilikos (around 20 kilometers).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/porto-roma.jpg\" alt=\"Porto Roma, Zakynthos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"599\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vasilikos peninsula offers golden, sandy beaches of incredible beauty, such as Porto Roma beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Argassi<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Argassi is<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>the resort with the best location on the island.<\/strong>\u00a0The distance between Argassi and Zakynthos Airport is around 8 kilometers, or up to a 15-minute drive. Argassi resort is located between Zante town and Vasilikos; basically, in order to get to Vasilikos, you need to pass through Argassi, which can be congested in July and August as there are many tourists around. Argassi is full of restaurants, shops, bars, and on the road from Zante town to Argassi there are some of the best nightclubs on the island: Barrage, Minima, and others.<\/p>\n<p>Accommodation in Argassi is quite decent, you can find some really good deals, but the only thing I dislike in Argassi is the beach:\u00a0<strong>in most of the parts of Argassi, the beach is so narrow that you can\u2019t even put your towel properly<\/strong>. Tourists coming to Argassi know that, so they usually go to the beaches in Vasilikos as there is a direct public bus to get there and it takes less than a 20-minute drive. However, in Argassi there are some nice beach hotels with a pretty decent private beach, so if you are staying in one of those, you won\u2019t be affected much.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/argassi-map.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Zante town<\/h3>\n<p>the capital of Zakynthos is called both Zante and Zakynthos, which sometimes creates confusion. The town is small and particularly beautiful at night when you can climb the\u00a0<strong>Bochali hill<\/strong>\u00a0situated above the town and admire the view over Zante while enjoying delicious Greek specialties in one of its numerous restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Among many cultural and historical monuments, Zante also has to offer many hotels and private apartments, where you can find decent accommodation for affordable prices.\u00a0<strong>Zante is well connected by public bus to Tsilivi, Argassi, and Vasilikos, so it\u2019s relatively easy to get around<\/strong>. For those who prefer the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the best place to stay. Zante also has a nice beach further down the town center, so you don\u2019t have to move from the city in order to get a dip into the sea. Zante is located 6 kilometers from Zakynthos airport, which is around 10-15 minutes\u2019 drive.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bochali-min.jpg\" alt=\"Bochali hill, Zante, Zakynthos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view over Zakynthos, from the Bochali hill. In the distance, you can spot Vasilikos peninsula<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Alykes and Alikanas<\/h3>\n<p>These are the two resorts situated toward the north of the island, a bit further than Zante town, Tsilivi, Laganas, and Argassi.\u00a0<strong>It takes about a 30-minute drive to reach the resorts from the Zakynthos airport.<\/strong>\u00a0They are well connected to the rest of the island, but as I said, it takes a little bit of time to reach.<\/p>\n<p>Alykes and Alikanas have very nice beaches, many beach bars, tavernas, villas, and apartments to stay, so you might consider these resorts as an option as well.<\/p>\n<h2>4 BEST EXCURSIONS IN ZAKYNTHOS<\/h2>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, the best way to get around Zakynthos is either by car (in that case, you should plan an itinerary, which will be the topic of my next article) or to book tours that would show you the top attractions of the island.<\/p>\n<p>When I was in Zakynthos, I worked as a tour guide and I was in charge of guiding the local tours as well. Read below my recommendations for the best excursions in Zakynthos.\u00a0<strong>Please, note that these are not the official tour descriptions and I am not a travel agent. I just want to share with you my opinion on the best tours and experiences you can get in Zakynthos (based on my own experience as a tour guide)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<h3>1. CRUISE AROUND THE ISLAND ON A PIRATE BOAT<\/h3>\n<p>This is the tour that I definitely prefer. You get to cruise around the island, learn about its history and culture, swim in its turquoise water, see the best beaches and admire the spectacular landscapes along your way.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/pirate-ship-min.jpg\" alt=\"Pirate boat at Navagio beach\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Please, keep in mind that this description below is not the official tour description. I am not a travel agent and I don\u2019t have any benefits from recommending this tour. It\u2019s only based on my personal experience as I used to spend three months in Zakynthos as a tour guide.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This Pirate ship tour normally departs in the morning from the port of Zante town and lasts all day (finishes around 5-6 pm).\u00a0<strong>The boat features the pirate ship theme, it is authentic, and even the crew members are dressed in pirate costumes. It\u2019s quite large and can fit several hundred people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The boat starts cruising toward the north, passing along the beaches of Tsilivi, Alikanas, and Alykes, before reaching the first stop for swimming \u2013 Xigia beach, located in the northeast of the island.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Xigia beach<\/strong>\u00a0is a small, rocky beach, usually packed with people due to its popularity and health benefits: the main attraction is\u00a0<strong>a marine cave with a sulfur spring<\/strong>\u00a0that has healing and therapeutic properties. Sulfur is said to be extremely beneficial for the skin and health in general, so many people come here just to inhale the sulfur. The water here is quite cold and a bit green, and there is a very intense smell of sulfur coming from the cave. If you don\u2019t mind, you can do snorkeling as well or just cool off in deep clear waters.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing up to the north, the next place you\u2019ll pass along is\u00a0<strong>Agios Nikolaos<\/strong>\u00a0or St. Nicholas, a picturesque port in the north, a starting point for the boat trips to Blue Caves and Navagio beach.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blue-caves-view-from-pirate-ship-min.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Caves, Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Already from there, you\u2019ll be able to spot\u00a0<strong>the island of Kefalonia in the north<\/strong>, which you can reach by taking the ferry boat in Agios Nikolaos to Kefalonia. The ferry boat ride lasts about 1 hour and you should book it in advance as the departures are not that frequent.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blue-caves-kefalonia-min.jpg\" alt=\"From the Blue Caves in the north of Zakynthos, you can already spot the island of Kefalonia in the distance\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1669\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1669\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1669\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From the Blue Caves in the north of Zakynthos, you can spot the island of Kefalonia in the distance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After you pass Agios Nikolaos, you\u2019ll reach breathtaking\u00a0<strong>Blue Caves<\/strong>, one of the must-see attractions of the island.\u00a0<strong>The best way to visit the caves is by the small boat because the small boat can enter inside the caves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Pirate boat is very large, so you\u2019ll manage to get close enough only to take pictures. Normally, the captain tries to approach as much as close, and the pirate music is being played, so the whole impression is truly magnificent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There is usually no stop for swimming in the Blue Caves, as winds can be strong in this area<\/strong>. Only if you are coming with a small boat the swimming is possible (weather permitting), but not with the Pirate one as it can be too risky.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Caves are the most beautiful when viewed from the sea; it is also possible to reach the area by car and jump into the water from the land, but it\u2019s not as impressive as when you come by boat.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blue-caves-zakynthos-min.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Caves, Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1672\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1672\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1672\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The best way to visit Blue Caves is by a small boat, as small boats can enter inside the caves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next stop following the Blue Caves is the famous\u00a0<strong>Navagio beach<\/strong>, or the \u201cShipwreck\u201d beach (\u201cNavajo\u201d means \u201cshipwreck\u201d in Greek). The beach got its name after the ship MV Panagiotis which wrecked in a shallow cove on the west coast of Zakynthos in 1980, due to the storm and bad visibility, pursued by the Greek Navy as it was though the ship crew was smuggling cigarettes. Even though the official story denies it, there is a legend that local inhabitants have been smoking cigarettes on the island of Zakynthos in the following years for free. The shipwreck has stayed in the cove and today is one of the main attractions of the island.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/navagio-approach-min.jpg\" alt=\"Navagio beach, Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1673\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1673\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1673\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Approaching the breathtaking Navagio beach is a truly unique experience<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Navagio beach is said to be among the top 10 most beautiful beaches in Europe. It is surrounded by high white cliffs and can be accessed only by boat. It is a white pebble beach with crystal clear, deep water. It\u2019s got waves due to its location and water is quite cool.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s almost always packed with people (except for the early morning time when there are not many people around) and boats, so you can\u2019t really enjoy it: most of the people try to make as many pictures as they can in front of the shipwreck, and you\u2019ll see many of them climbing the shipwreck which is not very wise and recommended, as it can be dangerous. If you are coming on a boat tour, your time on Navagio beach will be limited so try to get the most of it. If you are coming by Pirate ship tour, normally you stay there more or less 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/shipwreck-min.jpg\" alt=\"Navagio beach, Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1674\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1674\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Navagio or \u201cShipwreck\u201d beach is one of the top 10 beaches in Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Your cruise will continue down along the west coast of Zakynthos.

CARETTA-CARETTA TURTLES<\/h3>\n<p>Most of the local tour agencies in Zakynthos offer boat trip to Keri caves, including a stop to Marathonisi island, also called turtle island due to Caretta-Caretta turtles which lay their eggs in its sands. The island itself has a shape of a turtle and is a part of the Marine national park. You\u2019ll find many barriers on Marathonisi island with the main purpose of protecting turtle eggs, so please be respectful and don\u2019t get too close to it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/marathonisi-beach-min.jpg\" alt=\"Marathonisi island Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1677\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1677\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1677\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the sands of Marathonisi island, Caretta-Caretta turtles lay their eggs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Caretta-Caretta tour is nice and very family-friendly. It normally starts in Laganas bay where you embark on a small boat and start to cruise along the bay of Laganas in the direction of Keri caves. Once you reach Keri caves, you\u2019ll get a swim break so you can enjoy the spectacular views of the cliffs, take a dip into crystal clear turquoise water, or go snorkeling inside the caves.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/keri-caves-cliffs-min.jpg\" alt=\"Keri caves, Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1678\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1678\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keri caves, Zakynthos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the way back, you normally stop in the middle of the bay and captain does his best to find the turtles; if you are lucky, you might get a very knowledgeable tour guide who will share a lot of stories and information on the turtle\u2019s nesting process and life in general.<\/p>\n<p>This tour normally includes the swim break at Marathonisi island, after which you\u2019ll finish your tour in Laganas.<\/p>\n<p>This tour is a half-day tour (up to 3 hours, depending on the local agency).<\/p>\n<p><em>Please, keep in mind that this is not the official tour description and if you are willing to book it, you need to contact travel agents or a local tour agency in Zakynthos.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>3. ISLAND TOUR<\/h3>\n<p>If you are adventurous and want to soak in the history and culture of the island, this tour is perfect for you. Many local travel agencies offer it, and I think it\u2019s absolutely worth it!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/anafonitria-pillars-min.jpg\" alt=\"Anafonitria monastery dates back to the 15th century\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1679\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1679\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1679\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anafonitria monastery dates back to the 15th century<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is usually a full-day trip which includes lunch and several stops on your way through the island. Tour agencies have different itineraries, but roughly these are the places that the tour usually includes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alykes viewpoint<\/strong>, where you can admire the view over the salterns and Alykes and Alikanas beach. Alykes in Greek means \u201csaltern\u201d, and this area supplies salt to the entire island.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agios Nikolaos<\/strong>\u00a0and boat ride to Blue Caves: This tour also includes a stop at Agios Nikolaos port in the north of the island, and from there you can take a boat ride to Blue Caves. Weather permitting, there will be a break to swim and snorkel inside the caves.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/inside-blue-caves-min-702x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Blue caves, Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Navagio viewpoint<\/strong>: This tour takes you to the famous viewpoint from where you can enjoy the spectacular panorama of Navagio beach. The area is quite busy in the tourist season, so you might be struggling to take your turn to take a picture.\u00a0<strong>The actual platform from where you can see the beach is very narrow and only a few people can fit on it at the same time<\/strong>, so don\u2019t be surprised if you need to wait 30 minutes in line to get to the viewpoint. In the area where the Navagio viewpoint is, there are several kiosks where local people sell refreshments, and it\u2019s packed with buses and cars, so if you are coming by car you might have difficulty in finding a parking space.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/navagio-viewpoint-crowded-min.jpg\" alt=\"Navagio viewpoint\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The platform from where you can see the Navagio beach is very narrow and usually crowded<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/navagio-beach-min.jpg\" alt=\"The view over Navagio beach from the viewpoint\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1683\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1683\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1683\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view over Navagio beach from the viewpoint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Volimes<\/strong>: it is the most important town in the northern part of the island, well-known for the local handcraft. Volimes is not equipped with tourist facilities; it is a quiet place with only several snack bars and mini markets for local people, and stalls selling local products such as honey, oil, spices, but also tablecloths, carpets, and other hand-made products. For those of you who would like to explore authentic Zakynthos countryside and see how locals live, this is the best place to go!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anafonitria monastery<\/strong>: Zakynthos is a very religious island and there are many cultural monuments all across the island. The monastery dates back to the 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century and inside is being kept the icon of the Virgin from the 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, coming from Constantinople and of priceless value. The monastery is also important because St. Dionysios, the patron saint of Zakynthos, took refuge and lived in the monastery as a monk. The monastery is old and beautiful, and in my opinion, it\u2019s an absolute must-see place on the island.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/anafonitria-min.jpg\" alt=\"Inside the monastery of Anafonitria is the icon of Virgin dating back to the 15th century, coming from Constantinople\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1684\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1684\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Exo Hora<\/strong>: this is the village where you can admire traditional Zakynthos houses and Agios Nikolaos church from the 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century. The main road is passing by the square, where you\u2019ll come across the oldest and biggest olive tree in Greece, more than two thousand years old. Its twists and curves are truly impressive, as well as legends and stories connected to it, so you should definitely visit the village and take a unique photo in front of the tree.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/donkeys-in-anafonitria-min.jpg\" alt=\"Donkeys in Zakynthos\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are also several other stops, but as I said, the itinerary mainly depends on the tour agency offering the tour. I think this tour is worth a shot, as you will get to know the soul of the island, its countryside, nature and beautiful sceneries that you will remember for a lifetime!<\/p>\n<h3>4. ZANTE BY NIGHT<\/h3>\n<p>Visiting the capital city of Zakynthos at night is a must-do thing! If your accommodation is further away from the town, usually there is a tour organized and includes the visit to the main highlights of Zante, such as\u00a0<strong>St. Dionysios church<\/strong>, the symbol of Zante and its main religious landmark;\u00a0<strong>Solomos square<\/strong>, the central town square;\u00a0<strong>Bochali hill<\/strong>, from where you can admire one of the best views of the island; the main pedestrian street\u00a0<strong>Alexander Roma<\/strong>, full of the restaurants serving typical Greek food and fresh seafood, shops, and bars.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/st-dionysios-celebration-min.jpg\" alt=\"At the end of August, there is a 3-day celebration dedicated to St. Dionysios, Patron Saint of Zakynthos\" width=\"1024\" height=\"528\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the end of August, there is a 3-day celebration dedicated to St. Dionysios, Patron Saint of Zakynthos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1686\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1686\">Of course, you don\u2019t need the tour to visit Zante, but if you want to learn about its history and culture, it\u2019s good to have a tour guide to explain to you all you would like to know.<\/p>\n<h2>ZAKYNTHOS, A HOLIDAY DESTINATION YOU RETURN TO<\/h2>\n<p>To conclude, I would like to say that Zakynthos is one of those islands and holiday destinations where you feel so welcome that you already feel like a local after only a few days spent there. The island\u2019s countryside, traditions, gorgeous beaches, the coast, reasonable prices and welcoming Greeks\u2026 everything makes you feel at home and that\u2019s why so many people choose Zakynthos as their permanent, returning holiday destination.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/adventourbegins.com\/\">Katarina Komazec &#8211; Visit my Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/en\/\">Travel Advisor<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel-advisor.eu\/en\/category\/travel\/\">Travel<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCha4eD6x7Ax_FTtiw7D_prg\">YouTube<\/a>\u00a0channel.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guide to Zakyntos Zakynthos is one of the most beautiful Greek islands located in the heart of the Ionian sea, around 20 kilometers west of Peloponnese and 15 kilometers south of the island of Kefalonia.
