Plan Your Dream Greek Vacation on the Mesmerizing Shores of Zakynthos Island

Our first port of call on our impressive shortlist of things to do on a vacation to Greece has to be to visit the fabulous Greek island of Zakynthos, also known as Zante. Without a doubt, one of the best places to visit in Greece, the island of Zakynthos is situated within the Ionian Sea and is famed for its azure seas that gently break along its sun-kissed sandy beaches.

Uniquely accessible only by boat, Navagio Beach is not only encircled by the rugged cliffs that tower over it, but it also makes for a serene spot for sunbathing and swimming, as well as a fantastic chance to explore its iconic “Panagiotis” shipwreck that remains exposed on the sand.

In addition to the terrific beaches at this top Greek vacation destination, of all the Greek islands, Zante also happens to be a vital nesting ground for the Mediterranean’s endangered loggerhead sea turtles in Laganas Bay within the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. However, Zakynthos is also one of the best islands to visit in Greece to sample the nation’s favorite culinary delicacy, olive oil – a treat you can sample when you tour the superb, award-winning Therianos Family Organic Farm.
