Itinerary

Starting location:
Port Zakynthos, Greece
Blue caves
The Blue Caves of Zakynthos are a breathtaking natural marvel, renowned for their impressive rock formations and shimmering turquoise waters. Accessible only by boat, you can rent a vessel without a skipper and chart your own course through these awe-inspiring caves. Glide beneath natural archways, uncover secret coves, and immerse yourself in the enchanting seascape. As sunlight bounces off the cave walls and illuminates the waters with an ethereal glow, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a dream. A must-see for both adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers, the Blue Caves offer an unforgettable escape into the heart of Zakynthos’ coastal beauty.
Makris Gialos Beach & Onion Beach (Kremidi Beach)
Makris Gialos is a stunning, rocky cove located on the northeastern coast of Zakynthos. Known for its deep blue, crystal-clear waters, it’s a favorite spot for snorkeling and swimming. The beach is surrounded by cliffs and natural stone platforms rather than soft sand, giving it a wild and untouched feel. The underwater visibility is excellent, making it ideal for exploring the seabed or diving off the nearby rocks. It’s a peaceful escape from the more crowded southern beaches. Locally nicknamed “Onion Beach” (due to the wild onions that used to grow nearby), Kremidi Beach is a secluded treasure just south of Makris Gialos. This quiet stretch of coastline is harder to reach by car, making it a perfect destination for boat trips. The beach features soft white pebbles, turquoise water, and a tranquil atmosphere ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or relaxing away from the crowds.
Xygia Beach North
Xygia Beach in Zakynthos is a one-of-a-kind coastal retreat, famed for its sulfur-rich waters that naturally flow from nearby caves. These mineral-packed waters are renowned for their potential therapeutic benefits, creating a natural spa experience amid breathtaking scenery. The beach’s brilliant turquoise waters and towering cliffs form a dramatic backdrop, making it an idyllic spot to unwind and recharge. Tucked away from the crowds, Xygia Beach is a hidden gem offering a perfect blend of relaxation, natural beauty, and rejuvenation.

    Raphael knows every nook and cranny of the island perfectly and makes for a great time! Definitely a better option than the multitude of "tourist" rental companies on the port!

    The boat tour to Navagio Beach and the Blue Caves was absolutely unforgettable — and a big part of that was thanks to Raphael! He was an amazing guide: super friendly, patient, knowledgeable and so much fun to be around. He made everyone feel comfortable and created a great vibe throughout the entire experience. I felt safe, relaxed and truly enjoyed every moment. If you’re thinking about doing this tour, don’t hesitate — and if you can, go with Raphael! One of the highlights of my trip to Greece!

    We took a boat tour to the Blue Caves on Zakynthos with Raphael yesterday – and it was simply fantastic! Raphael was incredibly kind, super personable, and went to incredible lengths to ensure we had a great time. The tour was tremendous fun, very informative, and at the same time totally relaxed. You can immediately tell that he loves the island and knows a lot about Zakynthos. We felt completely at ease and would do his tour again anytime. Highly recommended – thank you for this special experience, Raphael!

    Raphael is the captain everyone wishes they had by far!!! What an amazing day! Raphael isn’t just a great captain he’s the kind of person who instantly makes you feel like an old friend. From the very start, he welcomed us with a big smile and a great sense of humor, treating me like I was one of his best mates. He’s not only super knowledgeable and careful when it comes to safety, but also full of energy and good vibes. Always joking, telling stories, and taking us to secret spots around Zakynthos we never would’ve found on our own. I truly recommend this experience if you’re lucky enough to have Raphael as your captain, get ready to laugh, relax, and enjoy the sea like never before. Thanks, captain! See you next time in Italy ☀️⛵

    Highly recommended! It's worth it! Raphael is a young and experienced captain, helpful, and great company! The boat is new and comfortable. There were six of us on board, and we were comfortable, split between the bow and stern. We began the experience by searching for Loggerhead sea turtles, continued with a swim in the sulfurous waters and a visit to the caves, and ended our tour with a dip in the crystal-clear sea right after visiting the blue caves! We wish it had lasted longer! Maybe next time!

    The highlight of the trip to Zante for my daughter and her friends. Raphael doesn’t just provide first class transportation to the beautiful sights but adds so much energy and fun to the experience. A wonderful experience and well worth the money.

    Raphael is an AMAZING skipper, the boat is brand new, super clean. He has taken us in amazing spots for sightseeing first to beat the crowd then in other areas for swimming and snorkelling. He then suggested a very nice restaurant which was serving food with local ingredients and all organic. To make it even better he also gave us hints on where to go and places to go in Zakyntos. I would definitely recommend it, worth every penny!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – and even that’s not enough! I rarely leave reviews – but this time I had to make an exception. Raphael is simply an amazing guy and offers one of the best boat tours you can experience on Zakynthos. Everything was perfectly organized, personal, honest, and full of passion. You feel safe, welcome, and like you’re spending the day with a friend rather than just a tour guide. This isn’t your typical touristy trip – it’s a true highlight of the island. Thanks Raphael – you’re doing an incredible job, and it shows in every moment!
