Retken kuvaus

This cruise around the northern tip of Zante serves up plenty of camera-friendly scenery and swim stops in hidden coves. You'll see stretches of the island's most mesmerising coastline, including the Blue Caves and Smuggler's Cove – that famous Greek postcard of the rusting cargo shipwreck on a pristine cliff-ringed beach. Chrissy, one of our expert local guides, says, "the sea around the Blue Caves seems to glow electric blue because the white limestone underwater reflects the sun through the azure water.'"

You'll get to catch Zante's top coastal draws in one relaxing boat trip. We'll scoot around Cape Skinari, famed for its lighthouse, cliffs, windmills and pastel-blue water. After about two hours at sea, we'll reach Smuggler's Cove and the onshore shipwreck. Back in the 80s, a ship carrying contraband cigarettes ran aground in this chalk-white, pebbly cove. Nowadays, in order to preserve the area, the beach itself is closed to visitors, however, you'll still get to snap up iconic pics of the rusty ship from the boat. Chrissy adds, "Zante's best-known beach is only accessible by boat and it's one of the most photographed spots in the whole of Greece. A crime gone wrong has left us with an unexpected treasure."

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

    This trip is not up to the TUI standard and you need to fix these issues to avoid upsetting customers. Toilets on the boat were absolutely disgusting and filthy. Male toilet had a broken door lock and no toilet seat. Seating on the boat was hard and uncomfortable. Trip was 9 hours, not 4-8 hours as stated. Food provided was disgusting, a chewy undisclosed meat kebab I would not feed to a dog. Drink provided, cheap wine or... water. Really? I will be demanding at least a partial refund. Rip off

    Swim stops were great, but we had to just leave all our valuables on the chairs and hope for the best! No where offered to secure anything. We were told the tour would be max 18-20 people, but the boat was clearly more than that! 3 decks of people on a large boat, closer to 150-200 people!

    Mooie zwemstops, bezichtigingen aan de korte kant, voldoende plek aan boord, de lunch smaakte goed maar was te koud, van de Blue Caves weinig gezien: snel en van redelijk ver af langs gevaren.

    Great trip and stunning snorkeling stops. It would have been better to stop at the Blue Caves there and back. We only stopped on the way back and the sun was behind them so not blue as it was on the way up. Booking also led me to believe we would be picked up at the hotel (Bitzaro Grande) as it was selectable, neither the email or voucher said otherwise. I happened to check the booking on the app half hour before pick up and noticed it was on the high street, this needs making much clearer.

Greek food and live music evening at Popolaros Taverna

Good food and good fun are on the menu at Popolaros Greek Taverna. Get in the holiday mood with this classic Greek evening – you'll try lots of typical local dishes, carefully prepared by Giorgios and his team. As the sun sets over the island, the candles are lit and the actors take to the stage. The sound of the bouzouki fills the air, and you find yourself tapping your feet to the rhythm. Dmitri, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Why not try dancing the zeibekiko traditional Greek dance? You follow the rhythm as the tempo gets faster and faster.'The evening begins with a transfer to the inviting taverna, where you can indulge in the traditional cuisine of Zante, prepared where possible with produce fresh from the family's own farm. Homemade bread is made from their own wheat, and most of the meat is reared on the farm, too. Organic vegetables are grown by the family for salads and sides, and you'll even get unlimited wine to sip on.Dmitri says, ‘My memories of family gatherings, holidays and special occasions all involve my mother, aunts and grannies baking. Frigania in summer, raisin and walnut-stuffed buns at Christmas and, all year-round, wood-fired oven-baked bread.' Popolaros is a traditional taverna where every dish is a celebration of the rich culture and traditions of Greece. As you finish your meal, sit back and enjoy a performance of local theatre with infectious Zakynthian music.
