Itinerary

Starting the tour. Your unique experience will start with a convenient pick-up from the door of your accommodation or hotel throughout the island. Your very friendly local guide-driver will begin by giving you a free map of Zakynthos before briefing you with the details of your itinerary. We recommend to all our guests to have their swimming suits and caps on as we will go straight to the beach first.

Cameo Island. Heading to our first stop, the dreamlike Cameo island, (known as the wedding island) which is one of the most beautiful sites of Zakynthos. You will enjoy the views of this small idyllic paradise that is located just off the coast of Agios Sostis in the south of Zakynthos. You will also admire and swim to its lovely secluded beach which is surrounded by steep white limestone and is used as a wedding ceremony area. This picturesque scenery with the famous waving white sheets above the water and the wooden bridge on the entrance are the perfect places for your photos.

National Marine Park of Zakynthos - Turtle Spotting. Walking back to the port from this marvelous wooden bridge, we will meet the glass-bottom boat waiting for you to join the mini cruise to the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. Enjoy the views of the bay and look out for the turtles so you don't miss them. Get ready with your cameras as you will be informed when turtles are going to surface to breathe, or when they pass under the glass bottom of the boat.

Marathonisi Island. The next stop will be Marathonisi an exotic, green island, part of the National Marine Park. The captain will drive the boat inside the two impressive caves while the sunlight floods in and paints the walls with an array of blue tones. then, he will head to the other side of the island for a one-hour stop at the small, golden, sandy, and clean beach where you will have the chance to swim, snorkel, or suntan. Moreover, it is very moving and an absolute joy to see the protected nests which are obviously all roped for their protection. We ask our guests to respect the regulations to ensure that the ancient mariners' sea turtles that inhabited our planet for over 100 million years are not disturbe

Keri Caves. The breathtaking Keri Caves are located on the southwestern part of the island and are carved by time, tide, and wind. Sailing along the coastline, you can admire the white single beaches, amazing rock arches, forested hills, and views of the huge limestone cliffs that fall straight into the sea. The professional captain is very adept not only at getting into the spectacular small-sized caves with the Glass-Bottom boat but at passing right through the famous rock arch (Kamara) as well.We will have 20 minutes to swim just outside the entrance of a very large cave. Make sure you have some snorkeling equipment with you so you can take a look under crystal-clear water and admire the unique marine life.You are more than welcome to enjoy the scenery from the boat if you do not wish to swim. Returning to the port you will board the van and head to the last but not least stop of this tour, the local Olive oil press museum.

Aristeon Olive Oil Press Museum. The olive tree, its olives, and olive oil are closely tied to the Greek culture. The friendly oil experts at the award-winning, Aristeon Ecological Olive Oil Press will guide you through the outdoor olive oil museum which reveals the history of olive oil making on the island throughout the centuries. You’ll be amazed by the old methods and early wooden types of equipment, as well as by the machine-run stone mill of later years and the factory’s cutting-edge productions. You will get to understand why olive oil is the gold of the Greeks and why the extra virgin oil produced here has unique healthy characteristics! You get to taste (for free) local olives and traditional village bread with different extra virgin olive flavors (most likely lemon, orange, and garlic). After five hours spent in the sea and full of images and new experiences, you will be dropped off back at your accommodation.
