What to see in Zakynthos Holidays

A tour of the island by boat or private boat is required. Only in this way can you reach the much photographed Navagio beach. The landscape of wild beauty and its rusty hull have traveled all over the world as the ultimate Greek postcard.

Dreamy waters in the northwestern part of Zakynthos! Their color is deep blue, in contrast to the blue-green of the rest of the region. Especially in the morning, everything below their surface is immediately painted blue, creating a unique feeling and an amazing experience for the visitor. The Blue Caves are ideal for photography and can be reached by boat.

The island of Zakynthos with the exotic beauty that is visited by the famous loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtle!
Marathonisi is a small, uninhabited island in the bay of Laganas. Its shape resembles a large turtle, which is why it is known abroad as Turtle Island. It looks like an exotic island because it combines the white sandy beach with the intense vegetation. Its beach is visited by the famous loggerhead turtle (protected species). The seabed in Marathonisi is amazing and suitable for diving. To enjoy this truly heavenly place we recommend the Caretta caretta excursion.

The hotel search tool is probably one of the best I’ve ever used. I booked a hotel on an incredible location, restaurants and bars close by, we had a room over the pool with amazing views of the sea.
I rented a car too, for driving around the island, thank you for everything!
