Zakynthos Things to do

The Zakynthos Things to Do post includes a few lovely attractions but numerous beaches you can choose from. If you rent a car, like I did, you can stop at every bay that can be reached by road. Some of them though are accessible only by boat. Still, start your day by visiting one of the Zante tourist attractions and then enjoy your day at the nearest beach.

One of the main Zakynthos things to do is visit Blue Caves in the north (you will also find the famous Blue Caves in Paxos to Antipaxos). They are situated right beneath Cape Skinari in the northwest but there are also beautiful caves in the south near Keri village. They are both accessible only from the sea but it is easy to book a one-day tour from several places on the island.

/TIP: If you don’t book a Blue Cave boat tour from the capital, you can also do it from Agios Nikolaos on the west coast. For Keri Caves, the easiest way is to go on a short cruise from Keri. The tours are available daily and usually include seeing turtles (which may or may not happen). 

As for the Blue Caves, I loved driving north to the Skinari Viewpoint (the Skinari lighthouse is further up to the north). You will find a true seaside ambiance here with a vast terrace overlooking the cliffs, a great view, and stairs taking you down to the sea to plunge in.
