Zante is the 3 rd largest of the Ionian islands. It is an island with a rich cultural heritage. It is the island of Kalvos and Solomos, the island of Kadathes and Operettas. Also, it is one of the last reproductive grounds of the Caretta-Caretta sea turtle.

Our cruise starts from Skala at 9 am. In about 40 minutes we reach cape Skinari with the homonymous light house, visible from Kefalonia at night. This is the closest point with Kefalonia (katelios 8 nM distance). From cape Skinari until the famous shipwreck the coastline is rocky, steep, and truly impressive.

Important Notice - Read Carefully!

Ship Wreck
At about 10:00 am we reach the famous shipwreck. It is known worldwide and is almost synonymous with Zante. An impressive landscape, with crystal blue waters caressing this beautiful beach that embraces the semi covered remains of a ship and behind it a breathtaking escarpment, complete this magic scene. This beautiful beach maybe would have remained anonymous and unknown since there is no road to it, if during 1983, an abandoned smuggling merchant ship had not washed ashore.
The ship was full of illegal cigarettes and traveling from Bulgaria to Italy and was abandoned by its crew, which got away on a small speedboat that was aboard, to avoid being arrested by the authorities. The unmanned smuggling ship was drifted and washed out on this beach. Year after year the tide would bury it in the sand and the beach became known, advertised, and today is globally known and is the biggest sight on the island. Thousands of tourists visit it daily. For safety reasons disembarkation and swimming is not permitted anymore. But it is still very nice  and may be better to have clear view and photos of this beach  without the beach  being full of thousands of people.

We will stay at the bay on a distance of about 40-50 meters for view and  photos. We will set off around 10:30 for the blue caves and we will arrive in about 20 minutes.

The Ruins of St Andreas Monastery
About half way there you can see a castled wall. About 1100 years ago St. Andrews monastery was built there and the only thing remaining is this castled wall that protected it from the pirates. Just down the way, a strange cave with stalactites. The depth is about 70m. Large waves, especially during winter occur in this area and very often we can see seals and sea-lions and also near the light house.

Blue Caves
These caves were carved by the wild waves within the centuries that whip the irregular coastlines. They get their color from the underwater seabed. The biggest cave has a length of 35m. Thousands of tourists visit it daily with small or large ships; yachts all drop by to admire this scenery.
Leaving the blue caves, in 15min we will stop for swimming as Platys Gialos Bay, for about 30 minutes. Crystal blue waters invite you to dive in and enjoy!

Alykes
Our next stop is Alykes. A small picturesque village with a sandy beach, water sports and restaurants for whoever wants to eat. We will stay here for about 2 hours.
Please be on time on the boat for the departure.

 

The west coast of Zante is facing   the open Mediterranean sea. Due to  this  sometimes we have   unexpected swell and rough sea. The cruise to Zante is an exciting one, but we advise  for people sensitive to seasickness, for children, old or disabled persons and pregnants it is better to choose another cruise. 

We will be back in Skala around 15:15
