Dit kun je verwachten

Streetfood, levendige optochten, vuurwerk en muziekkorpsen – de feestdag van heilige Dionysios is het grootste evenement van het jaar op Zakynthos. En je ziet het allemaal vanaf de beste plek op deze avondtocht. Je bekijkt de processie van priesters in hun mooiste gewaden en mengt je daarna onder de lokale bevolking in de festiviteiten. Maria, een van onze lokale gidsen, zegt: "De viering van onze patroonheilige Dionysios is de belangrijkste afspraak in de agenda van elke Zakynthiaan. Een van mijn favoriete onderdelen is om de stad in al zijn feestelijke pracht en praal te zien, terwijl we door de bazaar slenteren.”

Op 24 augustus komt heel Zakynthos op de been om buiten feest te vieren ter ere van de beschermheilige van het eiland. Je gaat er in de late namiddag naartoe om deel te nemen aan de feestelijkheden. Eerst zie je de processie voorbij komen, om je dan onder de lokale bevolking te mengen bij de eetkraampjes en de bazaar. Maria zegt: "Er worden tal van lokale specialiteiten aangeboden, waaronder traditionele zoete lekkernijen, geroosterde kastanjes en mijn favoriet – loukoumades – een typisch Griekse donut gedrenkt in honing.”

Maar als je voor de boottrip optie hebt gekozen moet het beste nog komen. Wanneer het donker begint te worden, nip je van een glas wijn terwijl je door de haven vaart. Je hebt het ideale uitzicht op het vuurwerk. Dus relax en geniet op de eerste rij van het oogverblindende stadslandschap, om de avond op magische wijze af te sluiten. Je maakt nog een paar foto's voordat je terugkeert naar het vasteland, waar de bus klaarstaat om je terug te brengen naar je hotel.

    It was a great night, the atmosphere in Zakynthos town was lovely. The best part was watching the fireworks from the harbour, it was magical.

Zante Tour with Blue Caves Boat Trip and Wine Tasting

Timeless villages, wow-factor views and a coastal classic. This small group tour offers a snapshot of Zante's best bits. And if that wasn't enough, you'll get to try local olive oil and wine. Bianca, one of our local guides, says, ‘You get to discover those hard-to-reach places that are a relic of the past – the Skinari windmills, the narrow lanes of Volimes. Even after all these years on the island, I still feel a frisson when I see them.' 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. For generations, it has produced wines made from local grape varieties such as robola and Pavlos. Next is a drive up the east coast with a photo stop at a famous beach. At Cape Skinari, drop in for homemade apple pie and a hot drink at the lighthouse and take some snaps of windmills before hopping aboard a boat for a trip to the Blue Caves. These sea arches have been carved by waves into white cliffs over millennia. And weather permitting, you'll get to dive in for a swim.Back on dry land, you'll enjoy a scenic drive through villages like Volimes and Anafonitria , as we head to Exo Chora. Here, there'll be a stop for a photo of a 2,000-year-old olive tree and a visit to a local cosmetics factory to see how olive oil products are made using the island's own produce, before rounding off the tour with a meal in a local taverna. And if you're a TUI Blue guest, you'll head to an exclusive restaurant in Agalas. Amidst the backdrop of Insta-worthy landscapes, toast to the days adventures and taste the flavours of Greece with some snacks washed down with Ouzo.

Northern Zante Cruise with Cape Skinari
Excursies & Dagtrips

Northern Zante Cruise with Cape Skinari

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.

You'll have half an hour or so to take in the vistas before the imposing white cliffs emerge out of the sea to reveal the cove. There'll be a stop to take a few Insta-perfect selfies here, before cruising back to port via a swim stop at a private white-pebble beach – a place so secret it doesn't even show up on Google.Back on dry land, you'll be whisked off to a local taverna in nearby Kampi. Best known for what many consider to be Zante's best vantage point, it's an ideal place to watch a sunset. You'll end the tour on a high, nibbling on traditional Greek meze with wine, as a myriad of colours light up the evening sky.

Zante Sunset Cruise on a Traditional Greek Boat
Excursies & Dagtrips

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 caïque 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. 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.
