North Zakynthos Cruise Itinerary

The most popular among all our Zakynthos tours is certainly this 6-hour private cruise, which includes visits to the top attractions of the island: the amazing Shipwreck Beach and the majestic Blue Caves. The cruise will depart at 09:00 AM from Zakynthos Port in Zakynthos Town, sailing along the coastline of Tsilivi and Alykanas. Our first stop will be the Shipwreck beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, nestled in a secluded cove on the island's northwest coast. Its name derives from the rusting wreck of the MV Panagiotis, a smuggling ship that lies on the shore, creating a striking and truly unique setting.

After admiring Shipwreck Beach, we will visit some secluded nearby beaches to relax and enjoy private swimming. Then, we will sail towards the Blue Caves, a series of natural arches and caves carved by the sea over thousands of years. The wild, white rocky landscape, along with the crystal-blue waters, forms a contrast that will leave you speechless. As sunlight filters through the waters, it creates an ethereal blue glow that illuminates the cave walls, resulting in a breathtaking ambiance. We anchor very close to the caves so that you can enjoy the view and swim inside the caves.
...

After visiting the Blue Caves, we recommend stopping for lunch at Nobelos Bio Restaurant and extending the cruise by one hour. The restaurant is located next to St. Nicholas Port and offers a good selection of fish and local dishes. Following lunch, we will visit the famous Xigia Beach for a refreshing swim in its therapeutic waters, renowned for their natural sulfur springs that create a rejuvenating spa-like experience. Then, we will head back to Zakynthos Town Port.

South Zakynthos Cruise Itinerary

The southern part of Zakynthos boasts some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, along with must-see natural sights such as the imposing Keri Caves and Marathonisi. Our cruise will depart at 09:00 AM from Zakynthos Port in Zakynthos Town, sailing along the coastline of Vasilikos. Our first stop for swimming will be at a private beach accessible only by boat. Then, we will sail towards Marathonisi Island (also known as Turtle Island). This small uninhabited island, shaped like a turtle, is completely covered in dense vegetation and offers a stunning landscape. It features two main beaches with crystal-clear waters and several beautiful sea caves that you can explore using our snorkeling equipment.

Our next destination will be Laganas Bay to observe the Caretta-Caretta loggerhead sea turtles in their natural habitat. The Caretta-Caretta turtles are among the world's oldest species. During the nesting season, they return to their birthplace beaches to lay their eggs - an impressive ritual where they emerge from the sea, dig deep nests in the sand, and carefully deposit their precious eggs in the exact same spots where they were born! You will have the opportunity to capture some great photos of the turtles swimming next to the yacht or even get into the sea to swim near them.
...

Then, we will sail towards the Keri Caves and the magnificent Kamara Cave, where you can dive in and explore these famous caves. On the way back, we can make a stop at Porto Roma for lunch and extend the cruise for one hour. Porto Roma is a very nice Greek tavern on the beach with delicious Greek dishes and fresh fish. After your tasty lunch, we will head to Vasilikos and stop for swimming at its most famous beaches (Banana Beach) or at a private beach in Porto Davias. If you love watersports, we can also make a stop at St. Nicholas Beach. Finally, we will head back to Zakynthos Port.
