Agios Nikolaos
20 minutes
The port of Agios Nikolaos lies on the North East coast of Zakynthos, it has a lovely small beach with turquoise crystal-clear waters and few traditional seafood taverns with a great view directly at the seaside.
An islet, also named Agios Nikolaos, lies off the coast, protecting the harbor from the northerly winds.
Here is the starting point of our 3-hour boat trip to the shipwreck beach and the blue caves in a medium-sized glass-bottom boat.
4
Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach)
1 hour
This is one of the most famous beaches on the planet, grab your camera and get ready to snap the most amazing pictures with the most amazing background of the small cove surrounded by steep limestone formations. You will have the opportunity to swim in the most stunning, turquoise water in the world, relax and enjoy the extraordinary scenery that nature has created and of course the stunning views beyond description. Explore the rusty hull of the commercial shipwreck, named, M/V Panagiotis, which grounded onshore in 1980 and lies in the middle of the white sandy beach. Although it has decayed quite a lot, it still looks magnificent. Leaving Navagio Beach (Smugglers Cove), the captain will bring the boat to the best location of the beach with the shipwreck in the background to capture the best photos.
5
Blue Caves
20 minutes
Sailing back along the west coastline of Zakynthos, the blend of emerald waters, a beautiful seabed, sheltered coves, secluded beaches, and amazing blue caves.
The blue caves are one of the island's most famous attractions after the shipwreck beach and while these natural wonders have been formed by continual erosion of the cliffs, they create a series of magical chambers. They take their name from the sapphire color cast by the sunlight shimmering through the water and being reflected into the caves.
Our small-medium seized boat allows us not only to get right into some of the caves but you can also enjoy swimming and snorkeling for about inside or next to one of them enjoying its breathtaking natural turquoise seawaters which paint the limestone and everything around in a stunning, ethereal blue (including you).
6
Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach)
1 hour
We will head here at midday, the right time, sun, and sea will sparkle in many shades of turquoise. In addition, the area is filled with green, especially rosemary and sage. From the platform, you will be able to see and photograph what is considered one of the 30 most beautiful beaches all over the world. Nevertheless, from here you can see neither the whole cove nor the whole shipwreck and again (for safety reasons) you will follow the guide walking about 10min along a stony path leading out to the cliff top to a high promontory facing the sea, where he will help you capture the best photos of the iconic images of the cove and the shipwreck at the background. The water is so clear that when you take pictures of boats from above, it seems weird as you can see the shadow on the seabed and gives the illusion that they are floating over the water instead of touching it.
7
Anafonitria
45 minutes
Stop for lunch (own expenses) at a typical Greek, Zakynthian family-run taverna, named Galaxy, a neat location at Anafonitria, a junction of a small mountain village with views of green hills, only 3 kilometers away from the shipwreck viewpoint. Yiayia ( means grandmother in Greek ) Dimitra is the boss of the kitchen, with her very tasty home-cooked traditional dishes with fresh homegrown vegetables and homemade wine and desserts, while the rest of the family would treat you like a family member or a friend. Simply authentic taverna in a mountain village, very nice atmosphere, good menu, sensible prices, very generous dishes.

Exo Chora
20 minutes
The famous 2.000 years old olive tree is located in the village of Exo Chora, Zakynthos island. It is one of the seven oldest olive trees in the Mediterranean, and probably one of the oldest olive trees in the world. There is not yet an agreed-upon scientific method to ascertain the age of olive trees. In the case of this ancient olive tree, although its exact age cannot be verified, it is believed to be at least 2000 years old based on tree ring analysis. It still produces olives to this day. Here was one of the main filming locations of the famous Korean drama (the descendants of the sun).

Xigia Sulfur beach, (also known as Collagen Beach) with its collagen and natural Sulphur sweeping on the shore, at this unique phenomenon, the water appears to be a milky blue color which is stunning, this is meant to boost Collagen which has a lot of health benefits for your skin
