About Zakynthos Island

Zakynthos, the southernmost of the Ionian Islands, welcomes cruise passengers with its lush landscapes, turquoise waters, and a coastline dotted with dramatic cliffs and hidden coves. As you approach the port of Zakynthos Town, the Venetian influences are immediately apparent in the architecture, with pastel-coloured buildings and a charming waterfront promenade. The island’s most famous landmark, Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Cove), is a sight to behold, accessible by boat tours that depart from the port. The rusted wreck of a smuggler’s ship lies stranded on the pristine white sands, framed by towering limestone cliffs—a scene that has become an icon of Greek beauty.
