8Zakynthos – The Jewel of the Ionian Sea

Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is home to some of the most spectacular beaches in Greece. Navagio Beach, or Shipwreck Beach, is the island’s most famous attraction, featuring a stunning cove with turquoise waters and a rusting shipwreck resting on the white sand. 

The Blue Caves, where the sunlight reflects off the clear waters to create a magical blue glow, are another must-visit spot. For nature lovers, the island is also home to the endangered loggerhead sea turtles that nest on the shores of Laganas Bay.
