Top Places to Visit in Zakynthos by Boat
Zakynthos is blessed with breathtaking coastal beauty, much of which is best explored by boat. From hidden caves to world-famous beaches, here’s a closer look at the top destinations Azure Horizon Boat Tours can take you to:
Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Cove)
Accessible only by sea, Navagio Beach is Zakynthos’ most iconic landmark. Enclosed by towering limestone cliffs, this sandy cove is home to the rusted remains of a shipwreck from the 1980s, creating a striking contrast against the turquoise waters. It's a must-visit for photography lovers, adventurers, and anyone wanting to see one of the world’s most picturesque beaches.
Blue Caves
Located on the northern tip of Zakynthos, the Blue Caves are a natural wonder. These sea caves reflect the vibrant blue of the Ionian Sea onto the cave walls and your skin while swimming. A boat tour allows you to explore inside the caves, and depending on conditions, even swim or snorkel in the glowing waters.
Marathonisi Island (Turtle Island)
Shaped like a turtle and located in Laganas Bay, Marathonisi is part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. It’s a nesting area for the endangered Caretta-Caretta sea turtle, which can often be spotted swimming nearby. The island itself boasts sandy beaches and sea caves ideal for exploration and relaxation.
Keri Caves
The Keri Caves are a series of sea caves near the village of Keri on the island’s southwest coast. Accessible only by boat, these caves are perfect for swimming and snorkeling, offering secluded beauty, deep blue waters, and opportunities to dive into the sea straight from the rocks.
Xigia Beach
Known for its natural sulfur and collagen springs, Xigia Beach is a unique destination combining beauty and health benefits. The minerals in the water are said to be good for the skin and joints. The water is a stunning mix of turquoise and milky white due to the spring activity. Boat access provides a peaceful alternative to the sometimes crowded beach.
Porto Limnionas
Porto Limnionas is a stunning rocky inlet with vibrant blue waters and dramatic cliffside scenery. Popular for cliff diving and snorkeling, this spot is less accessible by land, making a boat trip the best way to arrive and enjoy it without the crowds.
Porto Roxa
Another beautiful bay on Zakynthos’ rugged west coast, Porto Roxa is known for its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and crystal-clear waters. Enjoy a swim, snorkel, or a relaxing float in the sun, surrounded by nature.
