Location
Zakynthos, Greece
Zakynthos (or Zante) is one of Greece’s most enchanting Ionian islands—where turquoise
waters meet lush green hillsides and lively coastal villages.
The island offers a mix of natural beauty, charming culture, and warm hospitality
that makes it an idyllic destination for a wedding and summer getaway.
Explore the island:
• Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach – one of Greece’s most iconic spots, with white cliffs and crystal-clear waters.
• Blue Caves – reachable by boat, these dazzling caves reflect the sea’s pure azure color.
• Keri Lighthouse – a stunning viewpoint for sunsets over the Ionian Sea.
• Bochali Hill – a small hilltop village above Zakynthos Town with beautiful views and quiet cafés.
• Turtle spotting – Zakynthos is home to the endangered Caretta caretta sea turtles, often seen nesting in the area around Laganas Bay.

Things to do:
Spend your days swimming in coves around Tsilivi or Alykes, take a boat trip to hidden beaches, or stroll through Zakynthos Town for local wine, handmade ceramics, and easy-going tavernas. Evenings are best enjoyed with local seafood and a glass of chilled white wine under the stars.
