Greece · ZAKYNTHOS TOURS
Two things sell this island: the wreck in the cove and the caves beside it. The 15 below cover both by boat, plus the turtle water in the south, priced and clear about what a swell can cancel.
Spend 7 to 9 hours exploring northern Zakynthos by air-conditioned minibus and boat. Swim at Xygia, the Blue Caves, and White Beach, see Navagio from above and sea level, and stop at a 2,000-year-old olive tree. Guides such as George, Spiros, Petros, and Markos add useful local insight.
“The tour was very well planned and we got to see so many different sights”
Join Best of Zante for a three-hour cruise through Zakynthos National Marine Park. Guide Denis often keeps the mood lively while the glass-bottom boat searches for Caretta Caretta turtles, visits Keri Caves and Cameo Island, and stops for swimming at Marathonisi’s Golden Nesting Beach.
“This was an amazing experience, and our captain was so helpful and determined for us to get to see a turtle. we had seen on reviews that due to being October, the odds were much lower as it was coming out of season for them. but, we got to see a couple in the harbour, one in particular that kept regularly coming up for air right next to the boat which was incredible! then we got driven around in a fast speedboat to the Keri caves and the captain was very knowledgeable; he explained what everything was to us. finally we got to have 1hr15 chilling on the beach with…”
Set out from Agios Sostis on a small semi-yacht speedboat with an English or Greek-speaking captain. Look for Caretta caretta turtles, pass Cameo Islet, enter Keri’s sea caves, swim at Oasis and Marathonisi, and return with hotel transport included.
“The boat trip was a fantastic experience! I would definitely recommend this as it was easy booking and a modern speed boat for 8 persons. Our guide FRED made it special as he really is a funny and trustful captain. He brought us not only to the Blue Caves, but also in them with the boat. Sounds weird? It is the truth. Unfortunately no turtle, but it is too late in the year.”

“We had such a great time on our half-day tour with Izabela and Mike! Izabela was amazing with our big group, so organised, friendly, and absolutely brilliant with the kids. (they loved her!) She even went out of her way to take gorgeous family photos for us. Mike was a great driver too. Highly recommend! Also, it’s a must to try the olive tapenade and the strawberry coated nuts when you get to the end of the tour. And also the pomegranate cream was divine too!”
Meet captain Takis Karidis at Orizodes Restaurant near St Nikolaos, then cruise by speed boat to Navagio Beach and the Blue Caves. Expect shipwreck views, bright blue water, a swim stop, and live English commentary. Shared and private options are available, weather permitting.
“Beautiful boat tour, but despite the promise we could not go to the water at the shipwreck (they referred to the bad weather). We could not see that the weather is wrong and many other people were in the water. We are a little bit disappointed.”
