“A team of professionals, friendly, very well organized. The transfer was also very well organized. At the beginning of the cruise, Maria, our guide, presented the clear itinerary of the excursion with time markers. She is extremely kind, always with a smile on her face. She speaks English, French and Italian flawlessly. She gave us a lot of information about the places we saw. The first stop (2 hours) was Gaios, with a charming port where you can have lunch at the many restaurants with delicious food. Then followed a stop at a bay, a beach and dreamy turquoise water, on Antipaxos (1 hour or so, without being rushed). Absolutely…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,443 reviews · 150 minutes - 3 hours · from $29

Ride a small speedboat from Agios Sostis through Zakynthos Marine Park, looking for Caretta caretta turtles before entering Keri’s sea caves. You’ll stop to swim near a private beach and Marathonisi, pass Cameo Islet, and travel with an English or Greek-speaking captain such as Fred, Petros, or Pro.

“The boat trip was a fantastic experience! I would definitely recommend this as it was easy booking and a modern speed boat for 8 persons. Our guide FRED made it special as he really is a funny and trustful captain. He brought us not only to the Blue Caves, but also in them with the boat. Sounds weird? It is the truth. Unfortunately no turtle, but it is too late in the year.”

Also what we really enjoyed, that there were only 8 tourists on the boat including us. This allowed us to enjoy incredible views and swimming stops in peace. We saw other boats with hundreds of people there and were so happy that we booked this experience with Porto Vromi Maries Cruises & Fun. Definetely recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 351 reviews · 40 minutes to 4 hours (approx.) · from $36Top rated

From Porto Vromi, join a group boat trip to view the Panagiotis shipwreck at Navagio, enter local sea caves, and stop at up to three swim spots. Snorkeling gear, onboard toilets, parking, and taxes are included. Captains such as Yannis, Nico, and Costa are praised for handling tight caves and rough water.

“The trip was okay. Our schedule was changed from 1pm to 2pm, with no issue for us but seems like they squeezed two groups into one as some of travellers were struggling to find a place to sit. The boat was a bit old and very loud. We didnt really know where we going, we couldn't leave to boat to get to the Navagio beach with no explenenation why (even if the organiser advertising the trip showing people on the beach next to the wreck). Nothing much to add, its okay trip but 3 stars from us.”
