Cheap flights to Zakynthos

The city of Zakynthos is located on the east coast of the island on a hill on which the citadel constructed by the Venetians towers above the land below. All of the architecture in the city has a clear Venetian influence and also features highlights such as a multitude of Greek Orthodox churches and a Roman Catholic church.

One of the island’s popular attractions is Navagio Beach, a cove that can only be accessed from the sea. The small beach, which is surrounded by 200-metre-high cliffs, is home to the wreck of the smuggling ship “Panagiotis”, which ran aground in 1980 and can now be admired from a viewing platform.

The small village of Keri boasts not one, but two attractions: the bell tower of the Panagia Keriótissa Church, which provides a fantastic panoramic view, and the largest Greek flag in the world, which measures 35 metres long and 18 metres wide and flies high above the “Lighthouse Restaurant”.

The Blue Caves located on the northern tip of the island and can be viewed from small boats. They are particularly attractive due to the array of colours featuring a wide variety of intensive shades of blue created by extraordinary light reflections in the water below.

The small uninhabited island of Cranae is located opposite Keri in Laganas Bay. It can be accessed via rented boat and impresses visitors with its luscious vegetation and two secluded beaches, one of which is used as a nesting site by the Caretta caretta sea turtle.
