Retken kuvaus

Auringonlaskun ihailu Joonianmerellä on yksi Zakynthoksen-loman kohokohdista. Tämä iltaristeily perinteisellä kreikkalaisella caïque-veneellä vie sinut uimapaikoille ja ihailemaan auringonlaskua Misithres-kallioiden välistä. Constantine, yksi paikallisoppaistamme, sanoo: "Vaikka olen nähnyt sen tuhat kertaa, se on silti maaginen, romanttinen ja sielukas hetki, joka saa minulle aina aikaan kylmät väreet. Luontoäiti todella on luovimmillaan ohjatessaan auringon laskemaan Misithresin kallioiden väliin."

Nouse puiseen caique-veneeseen, jossa on nostalginen tunnelma. Itäisen Välimeren kalastajat ovat käyttäneet näitä veneitä jo muinaisista ajoista lähtien. Aluksella on opas, joka kertoo sinulle kaiken Zakynthoksesta. Purjehdit etelässä sijaitsevasta Agios Sostisin satamasta kohti Marathonisin pientä saarta, joka tunnetaan paikallisesti nimellä Turtle Island. Kapteeni laskee ankkurin rannikon edustalle, jotta voit pulahtaa virkistävälle uinnille. Näet luolia ja, jos olet onnekas, merikilpikonnia, ennen kuin matka jatkuu länsirannikolle katsomaan auringonlaskua.

Paikkaa, jossa pääset ihailemaan auringonlaskua, on vaikea päihittää. Lähellä Misithresin kallioita avautuu upea näkymä, kun aurinko uppoaa horisontin taakse kahden merestä nousevan kivimuodostelman välissä. Täällä saa upeita valokuvia, joita kehtaa Instagramissa esitellä. Lisäksi aluksella on laulaja, jonka rento ja tunnelmallinen musiikki täydentää upean näkymän. Takaisin satamaan matkustat kuohuviiniä siemaillen ja elävästä musiikista nauttien.

Olisi kiva, jos retkeen voisi yhdistää jotenkin ruokailun. Myös paikka, jossa vaihtaa uikkarit kuiviin vaatteisiin olisi kiva, vessa oli vähän ahdas ja epähygieeninen. Olisi kiva, jos kerrottaisiin mistä pelastusliivit löytyvät, jos tulee hätätilanne. Silta laivaan ja pois oli vähän pelottava, jäi aukko, josta huonopolvisen vähän vaikeaa harpata. Live musiikki oli kiva ja uimatauot myös. Aina ei ääni kuulunut hyvin. Maisemat upeita ja yleisesti kiva tunnelma, nautimme reissusta.

Oppaan toiminta kylmällä meriretkellä oli palelevien matkustajien hyvinvoinnista piittaamatonta. Laiva pysähtyi kahdesti liian pitkäksi aikaa, matkustajat palelivat oppaan ja miehistön ollessa lämpimässä hytissä. Opas myös hyvin niukasti selitti kohdetta. Kauhein retki ikinä!!!

This excursion was great from start to finish. Friendly crew and the guy behind the bar was from Gateshead which was good. We found it was so romantic when we saw the sunset whilst having a glass of prosecco and listening to a lovely young lady singing.

The music was lovely, the TUI staff very friendly and organised. The boat turning at the sunset spot so everyone could see the sunset was excellent. The issues were that the boat stopped near other boats which wasnt safe. The trip was to capacity, so much that people.had to sit apart. Hardly the romantic trip as advertised. People were smoking everywhere and some hot ash flew from the people in front towards me. (Maybe a designated area for smokers would help).

Wat een geweldige ervaring! De boottocht was prachtig. Het hoogtepunt was zonder twijfel de zonsondergang: werkelijk adembenemend. Een leuke extra is dat je tijdens de trip ook de mogelijkheid hebt om te snorkelen. Tip: neem zeker je eigen snorkelset mee. Klein aandachtspunt: als je snel last hebt van zeeziekte, is dit misschien niet de meest ideale excursie excursie voor jou. Verder was het een onvergetelijke ervaring en absoluut een hoogtepunt van onze reis.

Turtle Cruise to Marathonisi and Keri Peninsula

Loggerhead sea turtles have been residents of Zante's beaches for thousands of years, and with a bit of luck, you'll see them first-hand on this boat trip. Join an expert local guide for an educational day out at sea, passing by nesting sites, swimming in hidden bays and spending time in the village of Keri. Bianca, one of our guides, says, ‘In just one trip, you get to jump into clear waters, cruise along the Keri peninsula and, with luck, see turtles.'Available either in the morning from Zante harbour or the afternoon from Keri harbour, this half-day cruise is a real treat for all the family. You'll pass by the golden beaches of Vassilikos and Marathonisi, a pine-clad islet dubbed ‘Turtle Island'. The reason's simple – one of its beaches is a favourite turtle nesting site. Bianca, who's lived on Zante for more than 20 years, says of the scenery, ‘You can do this tour a thousand times and every day is different.' Be sure to keep a lookout for loggerheads, and you may even spot a wild dolphin or two.Plus, you'll sail along the Keri peninsula, cruising by its sea-plunging cliffs, caves and lighthouse before dropping anchor for a swim stop at the Bay of Oasis. In the small village of Keri, you have a quick stop to shop for souvenirs, relax in a typical taverna or hit the beach. What's more, a volunteer from local conservation group ARCHELON – the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece – will be on board to tell give you the lowdown on its work.

Smuggler's Cove half-day cruise with panoramic drive

Smuggler's Cove is a picture-postcard white pebble beach with a surprise – a shipwreck from an alleged smuggler who ran aground here in the early 80s. On this half-day boat trip, you'll cruise along the coast to see this famous spot, discover secret coves, swim and soak up the scenery. Kay, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Smuggler's Cove is also known as Shipwreck Beach, or “Navagio” in Greek. It's only accessible by boat, and it's one of the most photographed places in the whole of Greece.'After pick-up, enjoy a scenic drive to Porto Vromi – it takes up to 90 minutes – and hop on a boat towards Smuggler's Cove. You'll have half an hour or so to take in the vistas from the deck before the imposing white cliffs appear, sheltering the cove and its famous wreck. The 200-metre-high cliffs curve and swoop down behind the beach, dwarfing the shipwreck. Kay says, ‘To preserve the natural beauty of the area, instead of disembarking at Smuggler's cove, we'll pause here to admire the scenery and take a few Insta-perfect snaps.'Next, your captain will drop anchor at a nearby bay, and you'll have time to swim in the dazzling waters surrounded by Zante's coastal landscapes – don't forget your snorkel mask for spotting the colourful fish, coral and starfish here. Then, as we cruise back towards Porto Vromi, your captain will take you to a smooth, white-pebbled beach, a place so secret it doesn't even show up on Google. Cool off with a swim stop here and hear the story of the 'Poseidon's Face' – a rock formation believed to depict Poseidon, God of the sea – before setting off for the final leg back to shore.

You'll also visit the fascinating Archaeological Museum. Konstantina, one of our guides, says, ‘Olympia has been standing there for more than 2,500 years, still inspiring as a must-stop on the way to a personal Odyssey. To wander around its ruins and to feel the connection with the past is a special feeling.'After docking at Kyllini, we'll drive through the ‘garden of Greece' – fields of tomatoes, melons and cotton – to one of the most important sanctuaries of antiquity. Alongside a licenced Olympia guide and our own local expert, you'll discover where the Olympic Games began in the 8th century BC. See the remains of the stadium where 45,000 spectators cheered on their favourite athletes, including the finishing line and waterside gym. What's more, you'll share the use of an iPad to bring to life the ruins and see how they once looked.You'll also see the ruins of the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic flame was first lit, and of the Temple of Zeus.

It's a fun tour, which makes sustainability visible.'You'll cast off from Agios Sostis towards pine-clad Marathonisi Island in Laganas Bay. This uninhabited islet is nicknamed ‘Turtle Island' because its beaches are a favourite nesting site for loggerheads.

Zante sunset cruise on a traditional Greek boat

Watching the sun set over the Ionian Sea is one of those must-do Zante experiences. And this cruise in a traditional Greek caïque boat features a swim before the main event. Constantine, one of our expert local guides, says "even though I've seen it a thousand times, it's a moment that still gives me a frisson. It's magical, romantic and soulful – Mother Nature at her most creative, steering the sun to set between the Misithres Rocks. Utter bliss."The scene is set the moment you board your boat. A wooden caique evokes a sense of nostalgia and tradition. Fishermen in the eastern Mediterranean have used these boats since ancient times. A guide will be on board to give you the inside track on all things Zante. Sailing from Agios Sostis harbour in the south, you'll sail towards Marathonisi, a small islet known locally as Turtle Island. You'll captain will drop anchor offshore for an early-evening dip. See caves and, with luck, loggerhead turtles before cruising to the west coast to catch the sunset.And the spot where you'll see it is hard to beat. Near the Misithres Rocks, there's an amazing view of the sunset perfectly sinking beyond the horizon between the two formations. It makes for Insta-perfect snaps. Plus, there'll be a singer on board who'll fill the air with laidback, romantic tunes to accompany the top-tier view. The romantic atmosphere will accompany you back to port as you sail along to the sounds of waves lapping gently against the hull and live music while sipping on a sparkling wine.

And to top it off, this tour has a later starting time, meaning you won't miss out on your beauty sleep.We kick off with a tour and tasting at a family-run winery in Kallipado.

Zante cruise with Blue Caves, Smuggler’s Cove and Greek dancing

This cruise around the northern tip of Zante serves up plenty of camera-friendly scenery and swim stops in hidden coves. You'll see stretches of the island's most mesmerising coastline, including the Blue Caves and Smuggler's Cove – that famous Greek postcard of the rusting cargo shipwreck on a pristine cliff-ringed beach. Chrissy, one of our expert local guides, says, "the sea around the Blue Caves seems to glow electric blue because the white limestone underwater reflects the sun through the azure water.'" You'll get to catch Zante's top coastal draws in one relaxing boat trip. We'll scoot around Cape Skinari, famed for its lighthouse, cliffs, windmills and pastel-blue water. After about two hours at sea, we'll reach Smuggler's Cove and the onshore shipwreck. Back in the 80s, a ship carrying contraband cigarettes ran aground in this chalk-white, pebbly cove. Nowadays, in order to preserve the area, the beach itself is closed to visitors, however, you'll still get to snap up iconic pics of the rusty ship from the boat. Chrissy adds, "Zante's best-known beach is only accessible by boat and it's one of the most photographed spots in the whole of Greece. A crime gone wrong has left us with an unexpected treasure."After a dip, you'll continue to the shimmering Blue Caves, where we'll pause for a photo stop. Carved into the cliffs, the sea-smoothed walls form arches over the dazzling blue waters. You'll have Greek snacks and drinks on board, followed by some time anchored at a secluded beach gem. We'll end the cruise on a high note with some entertainment – Greek dancing – as we bob back to shore.
