2025 Zakinthos Island Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Keri Caves is one of the most beautiful places to visit! Crystal clear waters, clear enough to see the colourful fish beneath you. Perfect place to do snorkelling or scuba diving, I had an amazing time trying to spot all the different types fish. 🐠 Breathtaking views over the beautiful blue sea and stunning sunsets make this a wonderful experience that will stay with you. I 100% would like to visit the keri caves again it was honestly breathtaking. 🌅 In order to visit the caves you have to go by boat but there are plenty of organised trips from nearby towns. You are also allowed to rent a boat without a licence.Some of the caves are big enough to allow a boat to enter. In others you can swim from the entrance to the inside. 🚤 If you are visiting Zakynthos I would highly recommend spending your day/evening visiting here. One of my favourite memories by far! #travel_with_me_melodymay #closetonature #100waysoftravel #closetonature #historicallandmarks #localguides #naturelovers #sea #rocks #history #art #beach #greece #cavediving #architecture #speleologie #cuevas #caver #travelblogger #stalagmites #incredibleindia #exploremore #ocean #vacation #elloracaves #beautiful #landscapephotography

Zakynthos Island, a dazzling gem of Greece, captivates the world with its breathtaking island scenery and unique local charm. The island is surrounded by azure waters so clear that they seem to wash away all the hustle and bustle. Navagio Beach, with its golden, fine sand, is a paradise for sunbathers and surfers. The island's rolling hills, lush greenery, and picturesque natural landscapes add to its allure. The local charm is equally enchanting. Traditional Greek architecture, with its white walls and blue roofs, is built along the mountains and the sea, creating a beautiful contrast with the blue sky and sea. The island's residents are warm and hospitable, welcoming every visitor with traditional Greek cuisine and dance. Strolling through the narrow streets of Zakynthos, you can feel the rich cultural atmosphere and simple folk customs, as if you've traveled back to ancient Greece.

Zakynthos is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea and a well-known summer resort. The harbor city of Zakynthos is the capital and major hub, centered around waterfront Solomos Square. Popular beaches like Agios Nikolaos, Alykanas and Tsilivi offer swimming and water sports. Accessed by boat, Navagio beach is the site of a famed 1980 shipwreck resting in a sandy cove framed by cliffs. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

Simply an adorable cafe. This place is absolutely amazing and spotless clean. We arrived on their terrace before 9am when they open, but they were very polite and served us coffee and toasts. Then at 11:00 we had some more food which is at a really great quantity over price ratio. #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

The beach of Keri, also called Lake of Keri, took its name from the big lake that used to be there in the old times, and which nowadays is drained. In the Lake of Keri you may find traditional Taverns and beautiful Bars & Cafes and, Diving Schools. On the coastal street one can send beautiful evenings. There you may also find the Diving schools which organise diving lessons and diving cruises, a sport that many visitors prefer. It also worths to rent your small boat or get taken by a Kaiki, to visit the splendid Marathonisi and the Light blue Caves. At the end of the coastal street there is a small port that shelters fishing boats but also the boats of the visitors. Furthermore, if you explore the area a little bt on your own, you will find small coasts with pebble and rocks that offer absolute privacy. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

Kerì Caves, accessible only by sea with private boats or tourist excursions, develop along the promontory of Marathia Cape, in the South-West area of the island. Along the coast there are many caves which entrances scarcely suffice to get in swimming, others are broad enough to enter directly with a boat. It is very easy to reach the caves that are surmounted by cliffs where the sea is very deep and as such reachable. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

Located within the marine park of Zakynthos, this picturesque island can be accessed via a quaint wooden bridge from Agios Sostis Harbor. There is a small pebble beach, great for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing. It can get busy in the afternoons and during summer, so get there early to snag a good spot. You can also consider a boat tour of Zakynthos—you'll be able to enjoy the views of the beautiful coastline from the water, sans the crowds. There is a small entrance fee to enter the island, and it usually comes with a small souvenir or a free welcome drink at the beach. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

Advice: While visiting this island, stay there for a while, take photos and imagine the romance of that island could offer. You will cross the brigde while being amazed by the sea urchins underwather, pay the entrance fee (5€ in sept. 2022, which includea a photo key chain) and discover the intimate beach. There are 2 bars, but they were closed at the moment. #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #greece #zakynthos

#createwithtrip #naturewonders It took us a good hour to head up to the Shipwreck Beach (locally known as Navagio Beach) viewpoint at the top of towering cliffs. We reached in perfect time for postcard-like photos with both setting sun & turquoise-blue waters in the background. All boat tours directly to the beach had ended operations by then, returning its shipwreck precious tranquility before new hordes of tourists would reappear the following day. I half-expected a crazy-long queue at the viewing platform too, and was very pleasantly surprised to have it mostly to myself 🥳 By the way, if you’re wondering why the shipwreck looks familiar, yes, it’s that same shipwreck casted in 태양의 후예 (Descendants of the Sun) 😍

Zakynthos (Zante) is one of the most exotic Island in Greece. Sitting in the heart of the mesmerizing Ionian sea, it boasts a wonderful natural landscape and magical beaches. In Zakynthos I discovered picturesque hilltop villages, traditional monasteries, and dreamy natural landscapes. What’s more, the exotic Zakynthos beaches are home to the endangered sea turtle species Caretta-Caretta, which every year hide their eggs in the white sand of Zakynthos beaches. I rent a car for two days and explore the whole Island. There’s so many things to see and to do. There are so many things to do in Zakynthos and here’s what I highly recommend to visit: Navagio (Shipwreck Cove), Blue Caves, Porto Limnionas Beach, Agios Dionisios Church, Keri Lighthouse.

Zakynthos Greece is one of the most exotic Greek islands. Sitting in the heart of the mesmerizing Ionian sea, it boasts a wonderful natural landscape and magical Zakynthos beaches. Exploring Zakynthos, you’ll discover picturesque hilltop villages, traditional monasteries, and dreamy natural landscapes. What’s more, the exotic Zakynthos beaches are home to the endangered sea turtle species Caretta-Caretta, which every year hide their eggs in the fine white sand of Zakynthos beaches. The trademark of Zante, as the island is known in Italian, is the scenic Navagio (Shipwreck) beach. Many pictures and postcards have tried to capture its beauty, but the reality is far better! Only accessible by boat, Navagio beach has magical turquoise waters, white sand and is backed by dramatic towering cliffs. While the view from above is simply breathtaking, you should also experience a dip in its enticingly clear water. Apart from Shipwreck beach, though, there are many wonderful Zakynthos beaches you should visit, such as Laganas Zante, Gerakas beach, Vasilikos beach, and Spiantza beach. Some of these beaches are where the endangered Caretta-caretta sea turtles lay their eggs every spring and summer. You might be lucky enough to see them getting out of the sea to hide their eggs under the sand, but you should by no means disturb them! After exploring the emerald bays of the island, take a break from the beach life to visit Zakynthos Town, the capital of Zakynthos. Strongly influenced by the Venetians, who had also named the island “Fiore di Levante” (flower of the east), Zakynthos Town has many hidden gems to explore! Saint Mark Square, the Venetian Castle, Solomos Square and the Post-Byzantine Museum of Zante are some of the best places to visit in Zakynthos Town. As for things to do in Zakynthos, you’ll never run out of options! Partying, scuba diving, Zante tours, and water sports will keep you entertained during your Zakynthos holidays! #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway

Greece | National Day Zakynthos Shipwreck Bay Freedom Raiders Raiders Greece's second stop - Zakynthos, the name is more and more known by the people, Shipwreck Bay because "the descendants of the sun" has been very red. Zakynthos only arranged for two days. The whole trip was down. I felt that it was too short. The people here were less quiet, the consumption was cheaper, and I could find another beach for a day. The traffic in Zakynthos is not convenient, so it is recommended that you rent a car to play. Itinerary on the island D1: Arrive at the island, pick up the car D2 Blue Hole, Shipwreck Bay Island D3 Shipwreck Bay, snorkeling under the Windmill Hotel D4 Departure to Athens / Hh/Car rental: The selected compact car is similar to the Hyundai I30. The last car is a Seat, the car is very good Accommodation: VIGLA Recommended index: Although very self-driving in the mountains Convenient, it is 15 minutes drive from the Blue Hole and 15 minutes drive from the Shipwreck Bay observation point. It is very convenient. The home has an oversized terrace overlooking the sea. The price is also very cute, less than 500 nights. Shipwreck Bay by boat It is easy to find the shipwreck of Shipwreck Bay along the road sign. English is Shipwreck. Tickets for Blue Hole and Shipwreck Bay can be purchased separately or together. The price seems to be 7+8 Euros, and 15 Euros together, one boat every 15 minutes. The island can also rent a speedboat to go out to sea, only to sigh that his skills are too small, or else you can play more fun. I suggest that you can have an island one morning and one night, and you will mention the shipwreck bay. Shipwreck Bay Observation Deck GPS above to enter: navaio can go to Three brothers windmill house We don't live, but there is a staircase next to the hotel to the beach, where I swim In the afternoon, the whole piece of sea was contracted. Going to so many countries, Zakynthos is not only beautiful, but also cost-effective, low price, beautiful scenery, worthy of going again.

The place that appears as Porco's hiding place is Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach) on the island of Zakynthos. I was fascinated by the blue gradation that looked like paint had been dripped on it. 😭💎🩵💙 The view from above is spectacular! It's a cliff and a very dangerous place, so you can only go there on a tour. It seems that it's not good if the wind is strong, so the conditions are quite severe! The kind guide said that you can't go to that place on the day we originally planned to go, but if you can postpone the date, you should be able to see it tomorrow! It depends on the weather, so I hope you have some leeway in your schedule! And you can go close to Shipwreck Beach by boat! (It seems that you can't land on it anymore!) I was fascinated by the blue that I've never seen before, and it was a view that I want to see again ☺️ @0 yen trip @Porco Rosso #Porco's hideout @Zakynthos
