About this activity

This cruise around the northern Zante serves up plenty of scenery and swim stops in hidden coves. You'll see stretches of the island's coastline, including the Blue Caves and Smuggler's Cove – that Greek postcard of the rusting cargo ship on a pristine cliff-ringed beach.

You'll get to catch Zante's coastal in a relaxing boat trip. We'll scoot around Cape Skinari, famed for its lighthouse, windmills and blue water. After two hours, we'll reach Smuggler's Cove. Back in the 80s, a ship carrying contraband cigarettes ran aground in this cove. Nowadays, in order to preserve the area, the beach is closed to visitors, however you'll still see the views from the boat.

After a dip, you'll continue to the Blue Caves for a photo stop. Carved into the cliffs, the sea-smoothed walls form arches over the blue waters. You'll have Greek snacks and drinks on board, followed by some time anchored at Xigia beach. We'll end the cruise with some entertainment – Greek dancing – as we bob back to shore.
