Christina’s guidebook

1. Porto Limnionas Beach is located on the west side of the island. It is rocky and surrounded by caves you can visit swimming. Amazing colours of water. There is also a great tavern there and you can rent sunbeds, although most people just set their towels by the rocks next to the water. 2. Porto Roxa beach: Near Porto Limnionas, similar magical landscape but less popular- less crowded. It also has sunbeds and a tavern. 3. Gerakas and Dafni beaches: In the southeast of the Vassilikos area, they belong to the Sea park ‘’Caretta Caretta’’. Beaches are sandy, with taverns and sunbeds.

1. Kalamaki beach: It is very near the house at the Laganas bay. It is recommended for families cause the depth of the water is very shallow and the beach is sandy. There are several taverns there to choose from if you want to eat. 2. Alykes beach: on the west side, also peaceful with restaurants near the beach, sunbeds and shallow water.

1. Korakonisi: There is an open cave shaped in which you dive and swim. This place is calm, with wild nature vibes and usually not crowded. Be prepared with snacks (the internet connection is weak there). 2. Plakaki beach: The view and peaceful vibes of this beach are definitely worth the 15 minutes of walking on a rocky-shaped small path to reach the sea. Don’t forget to wear sneakers and grab your own snacks. 3. Marathias beach: It combines blue water with small rocks and green trees touching the water. It also has afew sunbeds + shadows in some spots. You have to walk 5 mins to reach it.

Pelagaki beach: This one is very cute. It is split into two small beaches. The view is great and the water has wonderful colours. You need to go down some stairs though to visit the beach on the right, which has few sunbeds you can rent, or follow a rocky path to visit the one on the left, which is the less crowded one. There is a cantina at the top as well.

Vassilikos area is for you! In general, it has great beaches and the majority of them have popular beach bars. You can check out if you want the following: Tropicana beach bar, Azzuro beach bar, Agios Nicolas/Saint Nicolas, Banana Beach, Porto Zoro, Ionian etc. Depending on the beach bar you choose, vibes vary from calm to party; it's up to you ;)

Marathonisi and Keri Caves: This is a special experience. You can rent a boat to visit the small island of Marathonisi and the caves either from Agios Sostis or Keri port. During summer, there are boats that do group tours and there are smaller boats that you can rent and drive independently. The prices differ but you get more flexibility to choose how you spend your time with the second option. The small boats which you can rent individually are easy to drive and you do not need a license. You get all the instructions from the rental office. You also get help for sea-guard boats.

If you want to visit Navagio go to the Saint Nicolas port (North East) to take a boat or to the Porto Vromi port (West). Usually, they charge 20 euros per person. Private tours are also possible :) The 3d option for you to visit Navagio is through the main port of the Zakynthos. This trip lasts more than 6 hours. ➔ I definitely recommend you to go see the view of Navagio! Get the sunset there. The view is breathtaking! It is on the north side of the island, close to Volimes village.
