Getting around in Zakynthos

[maggie3]

Our cruise will be in port in Zakynthos for a day. Can previous travelers please recommend the best method of transport for seeing the island? Is there a specific person you would recommend as a guide? Are there specific sights/activities that should not be missed?

We are also going next month. What did you end up doing there? What do you recommend?

My only lasting memory of this island was Shipwreck Beach. This can only be reached by boat (there is a viewing deck about 1000 feet above the beach but there is no way down). We were there on a small 150 foot yacht and dropped anchor off Shipwreck to go swimming (we swam into the beach). There are local small boats that take folks to that famous beach. Goggle the place.

The original post is from 2010...do people still need info for Z?

The Queen Victoria is going into Zakynthos in October and I would love any information you have on the island. Thanks.

We will also be on the Queen Victoria going to Zante and would love some Info too.

We just returned and I would highly recommend "Nefis tours" with Jackie. She was warm, knowledgable and truly in love with the area. We not only saw the sights but stopped at a tavern with wine, local tapas and singing.
