The iconic shipwreck beach, Blue Caves and turtle nesting that make Zakynthos one of the most dramatic and memorable islands in Greece.
Navagio Shipwreck Beach
Navagio (Shipwreck Beach) is the most photographed beach in Greece — a stunning cove accessible only by boat, with a rusting shipwreck on the white sand, dramatic white limestone cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise water. The view from the clifftop above the beach is one of the most spectacular in the Mediterranean. Boat trips from Porto Vromi take approximately 20 minutes.
Blue Caves
The Blue Caves on the northeast coast of Zakynthos are one of the most extraordinary natural attractions in Greece — a series of sea caves where the sunlight refracts through the water to create an extraordinary blue glow. The caves are accessible by boat from Agios Nikolaos. The best time to visit is in the morning when the light is at its finest.
Loggerhead Turtle Nesting
Laganas Bay is one of the most important loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nesting beaches in the Mediterranean. The turtles nest on the beaches from June to August. The National Marine Park of Zakynthos protects the nesting beaches. Turtle watching boat trips are available and are one of the most memorable wildlife experiences in Greece.
Laganas
Laganas is the most popular resort in Zakynthos — a lively, well-developed resort on the south coast with a long beach, excellent water sports, good restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. It is the best choice for young travellers and those who want a lively, sociable holiday. The beach is long and the water is calm.
Tsilivi
Tsilivi is the most popular family resort in Zakynthos — a pleasant, well-developed resort on the east coast with a good beach, calm water, excellent restaurants and a relaxed atmosphere. It is the best choice for families and couples who want a comfortable beach holiday without the intensity of Laganas.
Keri Caves
The Keri Caves on the southwest coast of Zakynthos are a beautiful series of sea caves accessible by boat. The caves have extraordinary blue water and dramatic rock formations. The area around Keri is the most scenic on the island, with dramatic cliffs and beautiful views.
Boat Trips
Boat trips around Zakynthos are the finest way to see the island — visiting Navagio, the Blue Caves, the Keri Caves and the turtle nesting beaches. Full-day boat trips from Laganas, Tsilivi and Zakynthos Town are available and are one of the best experiences on the island.
Restaurants
Zakynthos has an excellent selection of restaurants — fresh seafood, grilled meats, meze and the local speciality mandolato (nougat). The restaurants in Zakynthos Town and the village of Keri are the finest. The local wine is good and very affordable.
