Five Great Zante Excursions

A holiday on Zante (Zakinthos) is a great introduction to the Greek Islands. Friendly people, delicious food and above average accommodation, and a chance to take some interesting island excursions add up to an unforgettable Greek holiday. Zakinthos Town, near the centre of the east coast of the island, is an ideal place to book tours, although most hotels and tour desks can take bookings. To help you plan your Greek island experience, here are five outstanding Zante holiday excursions.

Island Jeep Safaris
Several operators offer Jeep safaris and they are a fantastic way to see the island’s rugged, breathtaking scenery and many of the attractions such as the Blue Caves along the coast. The driver guides are generally knowledgeable and the tour traverses dirt tracks through old olive groves, charming vineyards, and picturesque mountain villages. Tours stop at one of the many beaches where you can cool off with a swim and many towns connect with a boat tour of the Blue Caves. Luncheon stops at local tavernas are a chance to meet the locals. Since you travel with just three to seven other passengers, tour guides are happy to make impromptu stops.
