5Zakynthos – Beyond the Blue Caves

Famous for its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters, Zakynthos (Zante) is also one of the greenest islands in Greece. The island’s interior is a landscape of rolling hills, olive groves, and pine forests, contrasting with its rugged coastline.

While many visitors flock to Navagio Beach and the Blue Caves, those who venture inland will discover fertile valleys and traditional villages surrounded by cypress and citrus trees. The Vrachionas Mountains are rich in greenery and home to diverse wildlife. The Askos Stone Park serves as a natural habitat for various native species, and the olive groves of Lithakia and Maherado produce high-quality olive oil.
