About this activity

It's easy to see why the Venetians called Zante the ‘Flower of the East'. This exclusive tour takes in the villages of Lithakia and Kampi as well as the Anafonitria monastery and a boat trip to the Blue Caves. Along the way, you'll get to taste some sweet local delicacies and wine produced on the island.

Visit Bochali lookout point for grandstand views over the Ionian Sea. Next up is a visit to a mill in Lithakia to taste its organic olive oil. Then there's a traditional sweet treat on offer in Kampi en route to Anafonitria. Here, you'll visit a 14th-century monastery famed for its frescoes.

In the afternoon, we'll head to Skinari, where, you'll hop on a boat to the Blue Caves. Carved into white cliffs, the stars of the show are its dazzling blue waters. In high season, there's also a swim stop to look forward to.
