Porto Limnionas was one of our favourite places in Zante, and apparently one of the most popular places for tourists to visit. It was quite busy when we were there, even though we visited in the shoulder season (May).  Despite the crowds, this breathtaking secluded cove surrounded by jagged cliffs is one of the most picturesque beaches on the island, rivalled perhaps only by the world-famous Navagio Beach. A Travel Guide for Porto Limnionas Beach in Zakynthos, Greece Porto Limnionas has a decent restaurant, parking, and lots of sunbeds with views over the bay. There isn’t really a beach ..read more

Xigia Beach Zakynthos was a wonderful surprise during our more than two weeks on the island. It’s not only beautiful, but also healthy! After staying on Zakynthos for over 2 weeks and visiting many of the nicest coves, we found that while Xigia Beach, with its towering cliffs, white pebbly sand and natural sulphur mud, may not have been one of the best beaches in Greece, but it was definitely one of the best beaches in Zakynthos. There are actually three Xigia beaches all in a row Zakynthos island, with one to the south, one in the middle, and one to the north. This post will be about the one ..read more

by David Ball

The best time to visit Greece depends on a lot more than just the weather. When deciding when to go to Greece, you should also consider what kind of holiday you’re looking for, the crowds, festivals, events and prices as well. Greece can be counted on to be beautiful all year round if you pick the right place and time to visit. The winter months in the northern regions of the country can be quite harsh, whereas in the southern Greek Islands such as Crete, winter can be quite mild and both sunny and warm. I spent some time traveling around Greece on several trips, so I got to experience the cou ..read more

The town of Keri Zakynthos is a charming little place set up high on the cliffs overlooking the Ionian Sea. There are a few restaurants and accommodation options here, some beaches nearby, and plenty of fun things to do in Keri Zakynthos. There are actually two towns of Keri in Zakynthos, one of them is a beach town on the southeast coast of the island known as Keri Beach, while the other one, the one I’ll mostly be focusing on in this guide to Keri, is on the Cliffs of Keri overlooking the southwest part of the island.

A Guide to Zante Town: Zakynthos Travel Guide for 2023

Zante Town is the capital and the commercial hub for the entire island of Zakynthos (aka Zante). While it’s a popular destination for visitors staying on the island of the same name, it’s not a beach destination, but instead, a bustling port city, so many people opt for the more sand and sea Mediterranean holiday on other coastal Zante towns like Laganas, Tsilivi and Psarou.  However, there is plenty to keep you busy if you want to stay in Zante Town proper. There are plenty of hotels here, great restaurants, fascinating churches and a lovely seafront walkway that stretches on for about 1 ..read more

Zakynthos Greece (also known as Zante Island) is a small, stunning island that bobs in the Ionian Sea of western Greece.

How to Rent a Boat in Zakynthos: The Best Companies & Prices in 2023
Goats On The Road » Greece
by Nick Wharton

One of the best things we did in Greece was renting a boat and if you want to rent a boat in Zakynthos, it’s one of the best islands to do so. Renting a boat in Zakynthos is easy. You don’t need a boat license, it’s not that expensive and there are plenty of places where you can rent a boat in Zakynthos. But if you’re not careful, you could end up with a shady company that charges you extra or gives you an unreliable boat without the proper safety equipment inside.  Renting a boat for the day and exploring hidden coves around the Greek islands was one of the most incredible experiences we ..read more

Visiting Meteora Monasteries: Travel Guide To Greece’s Mythical Landscape

The Meteora monasteries are unlike anywhere. During my last visit, I was blown away by the incredible beauty I found here. Learn the history, how to visit Meteora, and more in this article. Nature is like an artist working on landscapes; using small brush strokes on a canvas, taking millions of years to paint, and yet the masterpiece is never completed. In the case of the Meteora monasteries, it seems that the painter went a bit more abstract than usual by abandoning the typically mild, harmonious lines and replacing them with powerful vertical strokes. Breaking the usual form and creati ..read more
