Detailed itinerary

1

Cameo island is another famous location on Zakynthos and another must see location. It is a tiny little island only accessible via a small rope bridge. Its a popular wedding venue due to its perfect location and beauty. You can not access the island via boat due to the rocks however your captain will come close allowing you to take the perfect photos.

2

Every year hundreds of Caretta Caretta sea turtles emigrate to the shores of Zakynthos. This tour gives you the perfect opportunity to see them swimming in their natural habitat. Our small boat does not bother or overshadow the turtles. They often swim happily by the side of the boat oblivious to the fact that we are there. This gives you peace of mind knowing that we are not disturbing them. this also allows us the perfect view and holiday photographs. Plus If your captain thinks that it is safe for you and the turtles he will allow you to jump in and swim peacefully alongside them giving you an experience that you'll never forget.

3

Zakynthos Marine Park is a large protected area due to the arrival of the Caretta Caretta sea turtles every summer. Only a small section of the Marine Park is accessible with boat to ensure that the turtles can enjoy their natural habitat in peace. Of course this tour follows the strict guidelines ensuring we do not disturb the turtles.

4

More commonly known as 'Turtle Island.' Not only is this an important nesting beach for the sea turtles, but the island is also shaped like a giant mother turtle! You'll sail around Turtle Island discovering its small caves and hidden beaches before stopping on its main beautiful beach for sunbathing, swimming, and maybe even a treat from one of the floating bars offering cold drinks and ice cream.

5

You'll explore the large caves and coves of Keri, where you'll stop for a swim in the crystal-clear blue waters. One advantage of using a small boat is that you can actually enter the caves—something larger boats can't do. Inside, you’ll witness spectacular sunlight reflections off the deep waters, turning them bright blue. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even swim through a small connecting tunnel between the caves.

6

The moment you’ve been waiting for. ‘Mizithres’ is a stunning rock formation rising from the sea like two giant shark fins. The water here is a stunning electric blue due to the white limestone in the area.
Before the sun sets, you have time to swim, visit the beach, or even swim through the giant rock revealing an even more impressive beach. For the sunset, your captain will position the boat within the rocks to give you the best view of the sunset. Get ready for the perfect sunset photos.
