The Best Places to Visit in Zakynthos
Navagio Beach
- The famous Navagio Beach is an entirely different experience in person and one of Europe's best places to visit.
- Awe-inspiring views of pristine white sand beaches and impossible-blue waters make it a true spectacle.
- On this lovely Greek beach, you can see the rustic remains of the MV Panagiotis, a ship with a fascinating history that got stuck in the cove in the 1980s.
- The beach is located northeast of Zakynthos and can be seen from the water or the white limestone clifftops.
- The viewing points are well-marked and easily accessible by land; this is where you will get the best view.
- The only way to swim or get close to the shipwreck, however, is by boat since there are no tracks that lead directly to the beach.
The Blue Caves
- A visit to these magnificent sets of limestone sea caves and natural arches is a must-do activity for anyone visiting Zakynthos.
- Only boats can get to the blue caves, a short boat ride from Skinari's small harbour.
- When you arrive at the caves, you will be taken aback by their natural beauty, with the caves gleaming in the sunlight and reflecting off the aqua blue waters.
Zakynthos Town
- If you've travelled extensively in Greece, you'll know that the main towns are stunning.
- That is not the case in Zakynthos; it is not the most picturesque town in the Greek Islands, and Zante Town does not have the best reputation among tourists.
- Despite hearing mixed reviews before visiting the town, we had a great time exploring it for an afternoon.
- The town has a beautiful seafront promenade and a variety of restaurants and plazas where you can spend the day exploring authentic markets.
