Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Navagio
Navagio is a cove enclosed by high cliffs, known for its wreck laid on the light sand and its blue waters. Access to the beach depends on local conditions and rules, but the viewpoints above the site already give a powerful image of Zakynthos.
Town or village
Grottes bleues
The Grottes bleues Zakynthos discover themselves by boat along a coast dug with arches and marine cavities. The light reflects on the clear bottoms and colores the walls, with a more intense effect when the sea is calm and the sun is quite high.
Town or village
Laganas
Laganas is the great seaside area of southern Zakynthos, known both for its nightlife and for the bay frequented by the turtles. The contrast is strong between the lively streets of the resort and the protected areas, where activities have to deal with nesting.
