Zakynthos has some stunning natural landscapes that can be easily missed so it’s definitely worth adding at least one of these day trips to your holiday itinerary.
Top Day Trips in Zante:
Shipwreck Beach/Blue Caves boat tour
Whether you hire a quad or go on a boat tour, visiting the shipwreck beach (Navagio) is a brilliant experience. Located on the north of the island about an hour drive from Laganas, this iconic spot has chalk white cliffs and turquoise water. It can get quite busy on nice days so plan accordingly.
Turtle Island
Turtle Island is located just off the coast of Laganas and is a common place to find turtles leisurely swimming around. The best way to see this is to hire a boat from Laganas, fill up a cooler with drinks, grab some friends and make your way over to Turtle Island. Make sure to respect the turtles and avoid chasing them. There are loads of islands and coves in the surrounding area so you can hop between islands throughout the day if you have hired a boat.
Laganas Beach watersports and beach clubs
Whether you’re staying in Laganas or not, taking a trip to spend the day by Laganas Beach switching between relaxing at beach clubs and experiencing the thrill of some watersports activities is a fun way to diversify you daytime in Zante.
Porto Roxa Beach
Porto Roxa is a beautiful spot most commonly recognised for its wooden platform that allows you to jump into the crystal-clear blue water. It's roughly a 35-minute drive from Laganas so if you’re hiring quad bikes and looking to get away from the strip it’s a great place to go. There are multiple restaurants right next to the beach so you can easily spend a whole day here, soaking up the sun and relaxing in preparation for a big night out.
Conclusion
These day activities provide an alternative to non-stop partying and can make the holiday more memorable. Remember to bring suncream and stay fully hydrated on these day trips.
