EXPLORE ZAKYNTHOS

Originally a smuggler ship, which lost engine power in 1981 and was washed ashore in a magnificent small bay. Featured in Greek tourist ads, it is on the west coast and best visited by short boat ride. For the ultimate picture, you can actually drive to a specially built small viewing platform 190 meters above the wreck where most of the postcard shots are taken from.
 

On the northern part of the island, are the Blue Caves. A series of geological formations have created the seascape. Natural arches have been carved out by erosion, but these caves are most famous for the color of the water in its deepest hollows, a deep azure color which is most striking in the morning when the light is at its brightest, hence the name Blue Caves.
