  • In this week's episode we head to the beautiful and (relatively) undiscovered island of Zakynthos in Greece. We visit one of the best beaches in Greece, take a boat around the island, go to some great local restaurants and just explore the place from top to bottom.
    Zakynthos is in the Ionian Island chain of western Greece and is known for having some of the best beaches in Greece, delicious food, incredible rock formations and great guest houses and apartments.
    We rent an apartment in Zakynthos for just $21 / night and explore the island by rental car for 10 days. We visit the best beach in Greece, Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck cove. This is the picture in the thumbnail and it's a beautiful white sand beach with turquoise waters and stunning views!
    We also eat delicious Greek food, meet friendly Greek people and learn a bit about the culture by making local friends.
    Check it out!

    Great video guys, we have visited this island and it is beautiful. Smugglers cove is great but the white sand is an optical illusion it is actually pebbles on the beach and not white sand as we found out when we swam in from a boat moored off shore.

  • @LikeItOrLumpIt2107
    @LikeItOrLumpIt2107 Před rokem +1

    I've been going to Zakynthos for 30 years & just returned from an 8 day break there.
    Gerakas is a wonderful beach but now marred by the high cost of the sunbeds at 15 euros - must be THE most expensive in Greece.
    Banana beach is also very nice - again the sunbeds are v.expensive compared to other resorts on the island.
    Skinari in the N.E of the island is a great place to visit as is Agios Nikolaos with La Storia Taverna being one of the best restaurants on the island serving delicious fresh seafood.
    If you have never visited the island you are missing out on a jewel of a place!

    What a gorgeous island! The colour of the water was absolutely stunning. Having a car looked like a brilliant way to explore the Island and the boat trip looked really fun also. Sheena has been to Greece but I've never made it and she's desperate for us to visit together. When we make it Zakynthos is on the list! - Thomas

    • @Goatsontheroad
      @Goatsontheroad  Před 7 lety +4

    Great video and informative. How anyone can give a thumbs down I have no idea. We did Zante some years ago and had an equally brilliant holiday. We also hired a speedboat for the day and got into loads of small caves which bigger boats couldn't access. We did Shipwreck Bay 2 weeks after my brother in law and he hid a business card on the wreck and gave us clues and we found it. We did the same thing with some other friends who were arriving the week later - great fun. Sad to see the footage of yesterday of the cliff fall at Shipwreck Bay but luckily no fatalities! Thanks for the video guys!

    Nice video clip. My family comes from Zakynthos. It truly is a beautiful island. I've been fortunate enough to have lived there for a brief period of time. The only part I didn't like was when you got out on the edge of the cliff to take pictures above Navagio Beach. Very dangerous and people have fallen off/died doing the same thing.

    I had the good fortune to live and work in zakynthos for a few years. It is my second home and a knew all the places you visited before you said where it was. Nice video and it did the island justice. Just one thing and that is that zakynthos is in the ionian sea . I know it's all part of the Mediterranean but when talking greece it is Ionian and Aegean for me plus they sound better lol.👍
