Zante Highlights Bus and Cruise Tour to Shipwreck and Blue Caves
Description
Begin your journey in Zakynthos, an island of vibrant landscapes and captivating stories. Drive north past charming villages as the morning sun sparkles over the Ionian Sea. First stop: Xigia Beach, a hidden gem with turquoise waters and natural sulfur springs, perfect for photos and calm reflection. At St. Nicholas Port, take a boat to the Blue Caves, where sunlight turns the water brilliant blue, and pause briefly at Shipwreck Beach (Navagio) for iconic views. Inland, explore Askos Stone Park, home to deer, peacocks, and native flora. Visit Anafonitria Monastery, dedicated to Saint Dionysios, then enjoy lunch at a local taverna. Continue to Exo Chora to see Zakynthos’ oldest olive tree, over 2,000 years old, and finish at an olive oil press, tasting fresh oils and artisanal products.

Itinerary
Start your day on the northern coast at this hidden natural spa. The turquoise and emerald waters glow above underwater sulfur and collagen springs. Perfect for quick photo stops and soaking in the serene atmosphere.
A short boat stop lets you capture the incredible cobalt-blue reflections in the water. You don’t need to swim here; just enjoy the view and take photos of the caves from the boat.
View and photograph the iconic rusted shipwreck. You can choose to take photos from the cliff viewpoint (best panoramic shots) or from a boat passing near the beach. No need to land if you’re only stopping for photos.
Venture inland to this peaceful sanctuary, walking among deer, peacocks, and local flora. A slower-paced stop for nature photos and reconnecting with Zakynthos’ wildlife.
A historic spiritual site dedicated to the island’s patron saint. Stone walls, olive trees, and tranquil courtyards make it perfect for capturing architecture and cultural heritage.
Continuing south, we arrive at Exo Chora to admire the oldest olive tree on Zakynthos, estimated to be more than 2,000 years old. Its immense, twisted trunk stands as a living monument —a symbol of endurance, peace, and heritage that connects generations.
Your journey continues with a visit to an olive oil press, where we witness the process from tree to bottle. Tasting premium extra virgin olive oil, locally cured olives, and artisanal olive-based products, we experience the authentic taste of Zakynthos —and can take a piece of it home as a delicious memory.

Booked this tour and Viator informed me the operator canceled and a refund was being processed. No problem. I rebooked it for the next day. No one showed up and so, after 30 minutes, I called and was told they had canceled that tour as well because they hadn’t met their minimum, but to wait and they would let me know if the tour would go the next day. I waited and got nothing. That’s 3 days of my vacation wasted. I requested a refund for the second booking and the operator turned it down. Viator offered no explanation. So don’t be surprised if this happens to you. Meanwhile, I booked what was essentially the same tour thru another provider and it was great. This provider offered three tiers of service: low price big group, medium price small group or high priced private tour. I would mention their name, but it would likely be blocked b
