Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Blue Caves, Korithi Greece
Sailing back along the west coastline of Zakynthos, the blend of emerald waters, a beautiful seabed, sheltered coves, secluded beaches, and amazing blue caves.
The blue caves are one of the island’s most famous attractions after the shipwreck beach and while these natural wonders have been formed by continual erosion of the cliffs, they create a series of magical chambers. They take their name from the sapphire color cast by the sunlight shimmering through the water and being reflected into the caves.
Our small-medium seized boat allows us not only to get right into some of the caves but you can also enjoy swimming and snorkeling for about inside or next to one of them enjoying its breathtaking natural turquoise seawaters which paint the limestone and everything around in a stunning, ethereal blue (including you).

Stop At: Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach), Anafonitria 290 91 Greece
We will head here at midday, the right time, sun, and sea will sparkle in many shades of turquoise. In addition, the area is filled with green, especially rosemary and sage. From the platform, you will be able to see and photograph what is considered one of the 30 most beautiful beaches all over the world. Nevertheless, from here you can see neither the whole cove nor the whole shipwreck and again (for safety reasons) you will follow the guide walking about 10min along a stony path leading out to the cliff top to a high promontory facing the sea, where he will help you capture the best photos of the iconic images of the cove and the shipwreck at the background. The water is so clear that when you take pictures of boats from above, it seems weird as you can see the shadow on the seabed and gives the illusion that they are floating over the water instead of touching it.

Simply authentic taverna in a mountain village, very nice atmosphere, good menu, sensible prices, very generous dishes.
