Our team at ZakynthosAPP had the pleasure of joining the Half-Day Swimming Tour to Turtle Island and Keri Caves, a delightful adventure that allowed us to explore the natural beauty of Zakynthos while enjoying refreshing dips in the crystal-clear waters. This tour provides a fantastic alternative to spending your evening at the bars and offers an intimate experience of the island's stunning landscapes.
The tour started with convenient hotel pickup and a friendly, knowledgeable guide who provided us with a map of Zakynthos and a comprehensive overview of the day's itinerary. We traveled in air-conditioned comfort, admiring the island's diverse landscape, including olive groves, vineyards, rugged mountains, traditional village houses, and old churches.
Our first stop was Cameo Island, a dreamy paradise connected to the mainland by a 100-meter wooden rope bridge. As we walked across the bridge, we enjoyed the views of the crystal-clear seawater, colorful fish, and sea urchins. Cameo Island, also known as the "wedding island," provided a perfect setting for intimate wedding ceremonies and stunning photo opportunities.
Next, we visited Keri Beach, a popular resort that beautifully combines mountains and sea. We learned about the ancient port at Keri and the tar springs near Keri Lake, as described by Herodotus. After a brief stop at Keri Beach, we continued to Agalas village, where we explored the awe-inspiring Damianos Cave. Our guide shared insightful details about the Legend of the Dragon and the twelve Adronios wells.
Finally, we arrived at a stone-built rest area near Damianos Cave, the perfect spot to watch the mesmerizing sunset. With a glass of wine in hand, we soaked in the breathtaking views and romantic atmosphere as the sun dipped into the sea. The captivating blend of colors in the sky marked the end of our unforgettable evening.
In conclusion, the Half-Day Swimming Tour to Turtle Island and Keri Caves is an excellent choice for those seeking a unique and refreshing experience on Zakynthos. The combination of stunning landscapes, intriguing history, and serene swimming spots make this tour a perfect way to spend an evening on the island. We highly recommend it for couples, families, and anyone looking to explore Zakynthos's beauty beyond the beach.
