What to Do
Beaches
Navagio or the Shipwreck Beach can only be reached by boat and is one of the most photographed beaches in the world. There, a rusty shipwreck sits on a spectacular white rocky beach that contrasts against an intensely turquoise sea – all set against a background of dramatically steep rocky cliffs. Also on the west coast you’ll find the fiords of Porto Limniona and Porto Roxa, Porto Vromi bay with its little island just in front.
You can spend days exploring the rest of the beaches on the island. The east coast of Zante has a variety of beaches lining its coast. Sandy beaches can be found in Tsilivi, Alykes and Amboula. To the north there are more rocky landscapes that are equally as picturesque including Xigia Beach and Makris Gialos.
The southern part of Zante runs from Limni Keri beach to Gerakas. That’s where the endangered loggerhead turtles nest, so there are some restrictions on swimming hours at various times of the year. The Marine Park of Zante oversees the area. The rest of south features long sandy beaches. You can boat to the small island of Marathonissi where several beautiful beaches await or explore and swim in the caves of Marathia Cape.Read more
