Zakynthos: Boat Tour with Cave Visits & Swim Stops
We pick you up from your resort and transfer you to the port of Zakynthos Town. Our boat "Dolphin" departs around 9:30 AM. Our journey begins as we head north along the eastern coast of Zakynthos, passing the beaches of Tsilivi and Planos and their beautiful surroundings. After passing the sandy beaches of Alykanas and Alykes, we reach the sleepy Agios Nikolaos in the north, one of the island's most idyllic fishing villages. Our first stop is at the famous Blue Caves, where sunlight shining on the water reflects on the cave walls, transforming the seabed into shades of purple, red, and turquoise. We sail around Cape Skinari on our way south. You might be lucky enough to spot some dolphins! The difference between the eastern and western coasts is immense. The western coast is very steep with several small bays. Our next stop, a breathtaking one and a half hours, is something many of you have seen only in postcards, the famous Smuggler's Wreck! Enter the wreck like a pirate or take a dip in the turquoise waters. Keep your camera ready for the fantastic lagoon of Porto Vromi, which is the oldest fishing village in Zakynthos and has two natural harbors filled with fishing boats and the "Face of Poseidon" carved into the rock. Next, we will visit the Dolphin Caves, a complex of about one hundred caves. Three of these are the largest, and in one of them, our boat enters and stops for photos. Also, if you are lucky, you will spot some dolphins. In the south, we will visit the famous Keri Caves. These caves lead very deep into the mountains of Keri. Time for a refreshing swim at Oasis Beach. Keep your cameras ready again for Marathonisi. Many years ago, Marathonisi was connected to Zakynthos. This island is famous for the Caretta-Caretta turtles and has the shape of a turtle. If you are lucky and the turtles are not camera-shy, you will be able to capture one of the most unforgettable moments of your holiday. Next stop for swimming is Mavratzi Beach or Gerakas Beach in Vasilikos. On our return to Zakynthos Town, we pass many large sandy beaches such as Porto Zoro, Banana Beach, Porto Roma, St. Nicholas Beach, and Argasi. Upon our return to Zakynthos Town, our coach will be waiting to bring you back to your resort around 5:00 PM.
