The Journey
Cameo Island (Agios Sostis) Turtle Spotting
Begin your Zakynthos journey near the picturesque Cameo Island, accessible by a charming wooden bridge from Agios Sostis. This area is renowned as a prime habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta). Experience the thrill of spotting these magnificent creatures in their natural environment, guided by an experienced local skipper. Note that while the bridge to Cameo Island is available, entrance fees to the island itself are an additional cost.
Marathonisi (Turtle Island) Beach
Journey to Marathonisi, also known as Turtle Island, a protected islet in Laganas Bay shaped remarkably like a turtle. This pristine haven serves as a crucial nesting site for the endangered loggerhead sea turtle. Relax on its golden sandy beaches, swim in crystal-clear turquoise waters, and witness the natural beauty that makes Marathonisi a vital sanctuary for these incredible creatures. Be mindful of the marked nesting areas to protect the turtle's habitat during your visit.
Keri Caves
Explore the enchanting Keri Caves, a network of stunning sea caves carved into the dramatic cliffs along Zakynthos's coastline. Marvel at the mesmerizing shades of blue reflected in the water, created by the sunlight filtering through the cave openings. Swim in the pristine waters of the Blue Caves, admiring the unique rock formations and captivating arches. These caves, accessible only by boat, offer an unforgettable experience for those seeking natural beauty and adventure.
Mizithres Rocks & Beach
Discover the iconic Mizithres Rocks, two striking rock formations rising majestically from the turquoise sea, accessible exclusively by boat. These impressive geological wonders have become a defining symbol of Zakynthos. Relax on the secluded Mizithres Beach, nestled between the rocks, and immerse yourself in the captivating blue-turquoise waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Experience the exclusivity and natural beauty of this hidden gem.
Piscines Beach & Eros Cave (Cave Love)
Venture to two exclusive coastal gems accessible only by private boat: Piscines Beach and the stunning Eros Cave, also known as Cave Love. These hidden havens are celebrated for their pristine white sands and crystal-clear, intensely blue waters, offering unparalleled visibility. Immerse yourself in the Caribbean-like waters, creating a memory you will never forget. Often described as the most breathtaking spot by visitors to Zakynthos, this offers an intimate experience far from the crowded beaches.
Plakaki Blue Lagoon (Agalas)
Conclude your journey at the stunning Blue Lagoon at Plakaki/Agalas on the West Coast of Zakynthos, a rugged, dramatic stretch of coastline known for its crystal-clear, intensely blue waters and wild beauty. Unlike the more tourist-heavy beaches, Plakaki is remote, peaceful, and unspoiled, making it perfect for travelers seeking natural beauty and solitude. The water is a mesmerizing shade of turquoise and cobalt blue, and you'll often have the area nearly to yourself.
