Cruise Itinerary

We’ll set sail at 17:30 from Zakynthos Town Port, cruising along the scenic coastline past Tsilivi and Alykanas. Our first stop for a refreshing swim will be the stunning Xigia Beach. As we approach, you’ll immediately notice the striking turquoise hue of the water - caused by natural spring water enriched with sulfur seeping into the sea from the surrounding cliffs. This natural phenomenon creates a natural spa effect, as the sulfur is known for its therapeutic properties, benefiting the skin, easing joint pain, and helping reduce cellulite.

After our rejuvenating swim at Xigia, we’ll continue to the iconic Shipwreck Beach, one of the most photographed places on the planet. Nestled in a secluded cove surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, the beach takes its name from the rusting remains of the MV Panagiotis. The ship met its fate in October 1980 while trying to evade the Greek Navy with a cargo of contraband cigarettes. Caught in a storm, it ran aground in the shallow cove, and the crew abandoned it to avoid capture. The sea eventually left it stranded on this beautiful beach, creating a truly unforgettable scene.

After Shipwreck Beach, we’ll explore some marvelous secluded beaches nearby to relax and enjoy swimming in privacy. Then we’ll cruise toward the mesmerizing Blue Caves, a natural wonder sculpted over thousands of years by the sea. The stark white rocks and vivid blue waters form a striking contrast that’s unforgettable. We’ll anchor close to the caves, giving you the chance to explore and swim inside them. As evening falls, you’ll witness a spectacular sunset at this magical location before we begin our return to Zakynthos Town Port.
