About Zakynthos

Zakynthos, a Greek island known for Navagio Beach, is shaped by its dramatic coastlines and the arrival of sun-seeking tourists. The beach, with its infamous shipwreck, has turned the island into a postcard destination, leading to the development of hotels, restaurants, and all the amenities that come with summer crowds. The rest of the island offers a mix of quiet beaches like Gerakas and Dafni, along with cultural sites such as the Venetian Watchtower and Solomos Square, which remind visitors that there’s more to the island than just sunbathing. However, the hustle and bustle around the popular spots give way to quieter corners, especially in the southern regions, where you can still find a slice of untouched beauty. Ultimately, people come for the iconic views and the postcard-perfect beaches.

Who it's for

Ideal for beach lovers, sunbathers, and those with a taste for beach clubs. Not the best pick for someone looking for solitude or off-the-beaten-path experiences, as the summer crowds fill every nook and cranny of popular spots.
