Information
Zante Port
Our excursion starts at 08.45 in the morning from the port of Zakynthos. Once you’ve found the right seat for you and you’re comfortable, let’s get started! Leaving behind the beautiful view of Zakynthos town, we head North, passing the sandy beaches of Tsilivi, Alykes and Alykanas and soon we reach our first famous beach, Xygia. Don’t be intimidated by the name, the beach is known for its healing waters, since sulfur is secreted in the area!
Then we reach Makri Gialo and stop for our first swim.
STOP FOR SWIMMING IS 30 Minutes.
Blue Caves
Then, be ready, as soon as you see the picturesque harbor of Ag. Nikolaou, because the Blue Caves are next, the most famous caves of our island! That’s why we won’t pass them like this, you will have time to see them and photograph them extensively!
Once we pass the caves and the northern tip of our island, Skinari, we want your full attention, because a landscape of incredible natural beauty awaits you, full of rocks and pine trees and hidden beaches!
Navagio
And hidden there in the middle of this enchanting landscape is the coveted beach of Navagio, which always takes your breath away! The waters have a rare turquoise color and – we are not exaggerating – the whole landscape with the steep rocks, the seductive waters, the white sandy beach and the shipwrecked “Panagiotis” in the middle, will win you over from the first moment, when we enter this creek here. Our boat stops 40m from the shore, so you can enjoy and capture this enchanting landscape with your camera.
We continue towards the west coast of the island, where the landscape, although more rocky, is just as impressive! We visit the beautiful port of Porto Vromi to see the anthropomorphic formation on its rocks, the famous “face of Poseidon”.
Moving on we reach our second stop for a swim at Koralli beach near the village of Koiliomeno. Enjoy the limestone rocks while bathing in the blue waters, in a spot where until now only the locals visited.
The closer we get to the southern part of the island, the more caves there are. One of them will make a special impression on you and will leave you with impressive memories, as it is not only the largest cave on the island, it is also spacious enough for our ship to enter. So our captain (weather permitting) will sail inside the Cave of Agalas, so that you can see the wild hues of both the water and its walls.
Return Back
Next to an arch created by nature, in the southernmost cave complex, which is also home to the Monachus-Monachus seal, in the Keri Caves, there is the Oasis beach, which will be our next stop. So we stop in its crystal clear almost transparent waters for our last relaxing swim…
We pass by the bay of Laganas, where we see from very close the exotic island that adorns it, Marathonisi – which is also one of the preferences of the Caretta-Caretta turtle, when it is time to leave offspring. If we are lucky these wonderful sea creatures might do us a favor and appear in a photo or two, have your cameras ready!
Then we see the second islet, Pelouso, and sailing again towards the port of Polis, we see the endless sandy beaches in the area of Vasilikos, such as Gerakas, Porto Zoro, Ag. Nikolaos et al.
At 16.45 we arrive back at the port of Zakynthos.
