From Porto Vromi: Shipwreck Beach Private Boat Cruise

1. From Porto Vromi: Shipwreck Beach Private Boat Cruise

Board your private boat for the day then set out on an adventure to discover some of Zakynthos’ most beautiful coastal locations. Depart from Porto Vromi and head to the first stop of the day, the fascinating Shipwreck Beach, also known as Navagio Beach. The beach is famous for being the resting place of a 1980 freight-liner shipwreck, which has been used as a filming location for many international TV series. Spend some time exploring the site and taking photos with the landmark as well as cooling off from the heat with a refreshing swim in the sea. Next, head to the magnificent Hidden Treasure Cave, one of the most beautiful caves in Zakynthos. Jump in the water and float around the cave, soaking up the magic of this glistening location and watching the suns' rays reflect against the turquoise water. Hop back on the boat and make your way to the next location where you can enjoy another swim stop and go snorkeling in search of colorful marine life. Other highlights of the cruise include Sfogio Beach, White Beach, Porto Steniti, the Secret Blue Cave, and Heart Cave. After an unforgettable day at sea, begin the return journey to Porto Vromi, stopping by the Profile of Poseidon rock formation along the way.

Zakynthos: Shipwreck, Beaches and Blue Caves Tour

2. Zakynthos: Shipwreck, Beaches and Blue Caves Tour

Explore the island of Zakynthos on a day trip starting from Argassi. Stop by the island's top beaches, including Navagio beach, where you'll see a shipwrecked boat up close. Sail into caves and snorkel in the turquoise waters at Sfogeio beach. Finish with lunch at a local Greek restaurant. Begin with pickup from your accommodation. Enjoy the views of the olive groves, vineyards, the diversity of the landscape, the traditional village houses, the old churches, and the stunning panoramic views of the turquoise sea waters before arriving at Porto Vromi. From the small port, hop onboard the boat which is small enough to navigate within the caves. It will take about 20 minutes to sail along the west coast and reach Navagio Beach. Land early at one of the most famous beaches of the island and enjoy the surroundings without the crowds. Snap some photos of the rusty hull of the commercial shipwreck, named, M/V Panagiotis, which grounded onshore in 1980 and lies in the middle of the white sandy beach. Then, head to the blue caves characterized by their vibrant sapphire color cast by the sunlight shimmering through the water and being reflected into the caves. Take about 20 minutes for swimming and snorkeling here. Cruise next to a secluded pebbled beach which is a characteristic sample of the natural beauty of Zakynthos, before heading along the coast to explore more caves. Arrive at the magnificent Poseidon cave. Next to it, there is a natural rock formation in which you can easily spot the stunning face of Poseidon, the god of the sea, storms, earthquakes, and horses. Hop into a minivan to travel to the viewpoint of the shipwreck. Walk along a short stony path leading out to the clifftop to a high promontory facing the sea. Capture stunning photos of the iconic shipwreck in the background. Then, there is a stop for lunch at a traditional Zakynthian family-run taverna near Anafonitria. Enjoy delicious home-cooked, traditional dishes with fresh homegrown vegetables and homemade wine. The last stop will be the 2000 years old olive tree at Exo Chora. Admire one of the seven oldest olive trees in the Mediterranean, and probably one of the oldest olive trees in the world. Afterward, relax on your return journey with drop-off at your accommodation.

This was a fantastic experience! We visited the Shipwreck and went swimming in the sea then our guide took us to use stunning blue caves! We swam in 1 Cave and were able to get off the boat in another Cave to look right inside. I'd recommend this trip to anyone who loves an adventure

The private boat tour is a great mix of great spots. Our guide Stefano was an excellent motorboat driver, his calm demeanor was very relaxing. He knows every corner of the coast and skilfully steered us into even the smallest cave.

We had an impressive and informative time on the boat. We took a private tour and had a very friendly guide who explained each stop! We could recommend the tour, thank you!

Very nice trip. The choice to book the boat for 9 AM was smart because Navagio was not crowded and we could enjoy the beach.

Ianis made our experience exceptional. He is knowledgeable, tells great stories and an amazing boat driver..
