What you can expect

Explore the coast of Zakynthos Island from aboard a classic Greek kaiki for a look at its timeless grandeur. This cruise takes you to the sea caves of Keri and the tiny islands of Laganas Bay, with high cliffs, beaches, and plenty of wildlife waiting for you along the way.

A ride from your hotel brings you to the harbour where your kaiki awaits. Traditionally a favourite vessel for Aegean fisherman, the craft gives you a relaxed platform as you voyage south around the tip of the island to visit the caves of Keri. Get some spectacular views of the immense sea caverns and rock arches that have been carved out of the island's white cliffs, and be sure to have a camera ready.

Next, the boat carries you to Laganas Bay for a visit to the little island of Marathonissi. Look for loggerhead sea turtles at rest on the island's beaches, and take some time for a swim in the bay's vivid azure waters, before you cruise back to the port of Agios Sostis for the ride back to your hotel.

Having been picked up from your resorts, your day will begin at the port of Agios Sostis. Here you will embark on your 3-hour trip taking in the spectacular scenery with caves, cliffs and arches.

First we will gently cruise around Laganas Bay for turtle spotting. The Caretta-Caretta is a protected species and is one of Zakynthos' most famous inhabitants.

Next we will cruise close to the small island of Marathonisi, also known as Turtle Island due to its shape and can enjoy a swim stop at the caves at the back of the island.

Sailing south to the stunning Keri Caves where you will have some fantastic photo opportunities.

It should be noted that the boat does not stop at any beaches, but anchors in suitable waters and you can enter the sea via the ladders on the boat. Suitable for strong/confident swimmers, alternatively swimming aids will be required.

Returning to Agios Sostis port, your coaches will be waiting to return you to your resorts.
