Cruise Itinerary

Our cruise begins at 09:00 AM as we depart from Zakynthos Town Port, gliding along the picturesque coastline of Tsilivi and Alykanas. Our first stop for swimming will be the breathtaking Blue Caves. Located on the northern coast of the island, these natural formations were carved by the sea over thousands of years. The contrast between the wild white rocks and the crystal-clear blue waters creates a scene of extraordinary beauty. As sunlight filters through the sea, it casts a glowing blue light onto the cave walls, creating a magical atmosphere. This location is perfect for both snorkeling and diving.

Next, we head to the world-famous Shipwreck Beach, also known as Navagio Beach or Smugglers Cove. Tucked away in an isolated bay surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, this iconic beach is home to the rusting hull of the MV Panagiotis, a smuggling vessel that ran aground in 1980 while being pursued by the Greek Navy. Battling rough seas, the crew abandoned ship, and the wreck was eventually washed ashore, becoming the focal point of this renowned destination.

After a photo stop at Shipwreck Beach, we’ll explore a few nearby secluded beaches before continuing to Mizithres, one of Zakynthos’ most impressive natural wonders. Situated below the Keri lighthouse, these two towering rock formations rise dramatically from the deep blue sea, offering a truly spectacular view. We’ll then sail to the Keri Caves and the striking Kamara Cave, where you can enjoy more swimming and exploration.

Our journey continues to Marathonisi Island, also known as Turtle Island. This small, uninhabited island in Laganas Bay is part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos and serves as a vital nesting ground for the endangered Caretta-Caretta loggerhead turtles. The island has two beaches with pristine waters and several captivating sea caves, which you can explore using our snorkeling equipment. We’ll then make our way to Laganas to observe the Caretta-Caretta turtles in their natural habitat. You may catch sight of them swimming beside the yacht, and if you wish, you can jump in for a swim nearby and capture some memorable photos.

After this incredible wildlife encounter, we recommend a stop for lunch at Porto Roma, a charming beachfront taverna known for its authentic Greek dishes and stunning sea views. To finish off the day, we’ll visit the beautiful beaches of Vasilikos for one last swim or unwind at a secluded beach in Porto Davia. If you're interested, we can also stop at St. Nicholas Beach for a swim or some exciting water sports before returning to Zakynthos Town Port.
