Discover Zakythos

Navagio is the most renowned beach in Zakynthos. The shipwreck on its shore has been photographed by globally acclaimed travel magazines, and its story has left a mark on the island. But why was the beach named "Navagio"? The commercial ship "Panagiotis", owned by a local islander, used to smuggle cigarettes until 1982 - the year of the shipwreck. Over time, the sea washed the ship ashore, making it one of the island's most spectacular sights.

However, Navagio Beach is not famous solely because of the shipwreck found on its coast. Its crystalline waters, with their stunning azure hue, coupled with the steep cliffs and sandy stretch, create a spectacle of breathtaking beauty. Every year, tourists from all over the world come to swim in this paradisiacal landscape. If you want to discover the magic of Zakynthos, this beach should be your first destination.

Golden sand and shallow, crystal-clear waters! That's Gerakas Beach, ideal for enjoying your summer swims. If you've heard of loggerhead sea turtles, Gerakas is one of the island's beaches where they nest, especially during the summer months. Access to the beach is prohibited after sunset to protect the turtles, so it's best to enjoy your morning swim there.

A hidden beach with landscapes of wild beauty, filled with crystal-clear waters and impressive caves. Porto Limnionas remains a pristine natural landscape, and swimming amidst its unique beauty will offer you an extraordinary experience. It's a small stretch of coastline with few umbrellas and sunbeds. You can enjoy your swim and the sun by lying on the flat surfaces of its rocks. To reach Porto Limnionas, head towards Agios Leon and then drive downhill to the beginning of the coast. It's one of the island's most distinctive beaches, so it's worth a visit.

If you're looking for a beach full of amenities, Banana is the perfect choice. Its coastline is vast, entirely covered in sand. Despite being easily accessible, it's a beach with clean, shallow waters, perfect for enjoying your swim and the summer sun. Its beauty is enhanced by the adjacent forest and sand dunes that protrude at various points. Next to Banana, you'll find many cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy your lunch or a snack before your next dive.

While Navagio may be the most renowned beach in Zakynthos for its magnificent waters and deep blue hue, it's not the only beach on the island with such a spectacular coastline. Myzithres is another beloved beach by those who have spent even a single summer in Zakynthos, and often becomes the top choice for first-time visitors to the island.

Myzithres consists of two shores, a small one and a large one, and their distinctive name is owed to the "myzithra," the famous cheese. Between the two shores stand two enormous, white rocks, creating a very special spectacle. Besides their magical natural landscape, Myzithres elevate the holiday experience with their beautiful, azure waters and the stunning white color of the sand that stretches across their entire expanse. It's yet another gem of the island that you must visit.
