4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau

Overview
Zante, officially known as Zakynthos, is a breathtaking island in Greece's Ionian Sea, renowned for its dramatic landscapes, pristine azure waters, and the iconic Shipwreck Cove (Navagio Beach). This verdant island, blessed with lush olive groves, pine-clad mountains, and stunning coastal cliffs, offers a diverse array of experiences for cruise visitors. From vibrant nightlife in its main towns to serene escapes in secluded coves, Zakynthos perfectly blends natural beauty with rich cultural heritage.
Beyond its world-famous beaches, the island provides opportunities to explore charming traditional villages, ancient monasteries, and the fascinating marine park, home to the endangered loggerhead sea turtles. Zante's unique blend of natural wonders, thrilling activities, and a welcoming Greek island atmosphere ensures a memorable and captivating visit for all who cruise to its shores.
The highlight of any visit to Zante is the world-famous Shipwreck Cove (Navagio Beach). Accessible only by boat, this stunning white pebble beach is framed by towering limestone cliffs and features the rusting hulk of a shipwreck, all set against an impossibly vibrant turquoise sea.
Tip: To truly appreciate its beauty, consider taking a boat tour that includes a stop for swimming at the beach itself, and also find a viewpoint from the cliffs above for a panoramic photo opportunity.
Discover the mesmerizing Blue Caves along the island's northern coast. These natural sea caves are famous for the vivid blue reflections created by the sunlight hitting the water and the white rocks, making the water appear luminous and vibrant.
Tip: Many boat tours to Shipwreck Cove also include a stop at the Blue Caves, allowing you to swim in their dazzling waters.
Zante boasts numerous beautiful beaches. Beyond Navagio, consider spending time at the sandy shores of Gerakas Beach (known for turtle nesting, with restricted areas) or the lively atmosphere of Laganas Beach. The island offers a variety of coastal experiences for relaxation or water sports.
Tip: If visiting during nesting season (typically May to October), respect all signs and marked areas on turtle nesting beaches to protect the endangered loggerhead turtles.
Wander through Zakynthos Town (Zante Town), the island's capital. Stroll along the waterfront promenade, browse the shops, enjoy a coffee in Solomos Square, and visit the Byzantine Museum of Zakynthos to see icons and art rescued from churches after the 1953 earthquake.
Tip: Consider taking the mini-train from the town center up to Bochali Hill for panoramic views of Zakynthos Town and the harbor, especially beautiful at sunset.
Head to the southwestern part of the island to explore the Keri Caves by boat. These sea caves are less famous than the Blue Caves but equally impressive. Nearby, marvel at the dramatic Mizithres Rocks, two towering white rock formations emerging from the sea off the Keri peninsula.
Tip: Some boat tours combine visits to the Keri Caves, Mizithres, and even a chance to spot turtles in Laganas Bay.
Experience a taste of local production by visiting a traditional olive oil press or one of the island's wineries. Learn about the process of olive oil production (a staple of Greek cuisine) or sample local wines, many of which are unique to Zakynthos.
Tip: Look for small family-run operations for a more authentic and personal experience, often offering tastings of their products.
