Nauagio Beach

Nauagio (meaning “shipwreck”) is perhaps the most photographed beach in Greece, if not the world. It is accessible either by boat from various parts of the island or by car up until Porto Vromi. If you choose the second alternative, you will driver through Macherado villages, St. Leontas and Maries, till you arrive at Port Vromi port where there is a boat to the shipwreck. On the way the captain stops the Blue Caves. The beach is usually very crowded, but swimming there is one of the most beautiful experiences of a holiday on Zakynthos.

The Venetian Castle

The Venetian castle was constructed in the early years of the Venetian rule (late 15th, early 16th century). It was probably built in the same place as the old medieval castle. It has towering walls that can be seen from very far away and three gates. One of the gates is decorated with a Venetian lion, symbol of the Venetian Republic. Inside the castle there are the prisons, which are vaulted, low in height and made of stone. There are also ruins of churches and the restored gunpowder room with its huge walls. The view from the Castle is absolutely breathtaking.
