Private Sunset Cruise To The Blue Caves (3 Hour)

Itinerary

Starting location:

Port Zakynthos, Greece

Makris Gialos & 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. Best accessed by boat. No facilities—just raw beauty and silence.

St. Nickolas and start of the Blue Caves

Tucked away near the village of Volimes, St. Nicholas Beach (North) is a small, tranquil bay far from the busy tourist areas. It's a quiet, pebbly beach surrounded by rocky cliffs and clear, deep-blue waters—perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or a relaxing boat stop. There’s a small chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas overlooking the sea, adding a peaceful and authentic Greek touch to the landscape. It’s an ideal stop on the way to the Blue Caves or for travelers looking for a serene escape. Just beyond St. Nicholas Port (North), you’ll find the entrance to the Blue Caves—a magical stretch of sea caves carved into the white limestone cliffs. This is where the adventure begins: arches, tunnels, and reflective waters glowing in shades of electric blue. The surreal color is caused by sunlight bouncing off the white seabed and reflecting inside the caves. This area is best explored by boat, especially early in the morning when the light is at its most dramatic.

Sunset at the North Lighthouse – A Golden Ending to Your Day by Boat

Experience one of Zakynthos’ most magical moments aboard your boat at the North Lighthouse (Skinari Lighthouse). As the sun dips low over the Ionian Sea, the sky transforms into a breathtaking canvas of gold, pink, and orange hues. Anchored just offshore, you’ll have an unobstructed view of the lighthouse perched on the rugged cliffs, glowing in the warm light of dusk. The atmosphere is peaceful, the water calm, and the view unforgettable—perfect for couples, photographers, or anyone looking to end their day in awe.
