Yacht Charters
Called the “flower of the East,” Zakynthos is straight out of a fairytale; offering a varied landscape of verdant valleys, sandy shores, jagged mountains, hidden coves, and more than 7,000 species of flowers sprawling throughout.
Named after the first believed inhabitant of the island – the son of Dardanos, an ancient ruler of Frigia – Zakynthos is the third largest island in the Ionian Sea. Ruled by the Venetians from 1484 to 1797, remnants of their influence can still be seen in the island’s architectural footprint, including a unique, Venetian-built fort. While much of the original buildings were destroyed in the 1953 earthquake and the fires that ensued, today, the town has been rebuilt.
Visiting Zakynthos is not too different from turning back a page of Greek history; making this island a true Venetian gem amongst a sea of Grecian treasures.

Explore with a Boat Charter: Zakynthos
Navagio Beach
A beach with white pebble seafloor.
Located on the southern part of the island, Navagio Beach’s white pebble seafloor, surrounding limestone cliffs, and secluded entrance, accessible only by boat, give it an air of exclusivity. Named after the shipwreck of Panagiotis in the 1980s – believed to be a smugglers’ ship, the remnants of which are still there today – this quiet haven is often referred to as “ Smugglers Cove.”
Stranis Hill
Offers amazing views of the Ioanian Sea.
Thought to be the place that inspired Dionysios Solomos to write the “Hymn to Liberty,” which later became the Greek National Hymn, Stranis Hill was the property of Ludwig Stranis, a close friend of the poet, in the early 1800s. Today, it is regarded for its beautiful views: the verdant plains of Zákynthos’, Kefalonia, the Ionian Sea, and in the distance, Greece’s mainland.
Shipwreck Beach
A world-famous cove with a dramatic shipwreck.
A breathtaking cove with towering white cliffs and the famous remains of a shipwreck on its sandy beach.
