Blue Caves and Windmills on Zakynthos island Greece
Just put this video together from video clips I shot while taking photos at the Blue Caves and Windmills at Cape Skinari in the north of Zakynthos. It's a wonderful place to visit with amazing views over the Ionian Sea with 2 windmills which you can book to say in. A cafe where you can sit and have a drink and somthing to eat while you relax and enjoy the view. You can then walk down the path to the sea for a swim and take a boat trip the the Blue Caves and Shipwreck Cove.

An old windmill in the village of Elation, on Cape Skinari at the northern tip of Zákinthos, was once used for grinding flour but has been turned into guest accommodations. Once you admire the view from the top, you can climb down the steep steps and hop on an excursion boat to visit the Blue Caves, a series of sea caves that get their name from the eye-popping shade of the waters here. Make sure to pack your swimsuit and snorkeling gear so you can take a dip in the translucent azure waters.

Blue Caves Zakynthos Greece
Escursione in acqua nella Blue Cave di Zante , la prima cosa che si nota è il colore blu profondo e cristallino di questo posto.

L'accesso ad alcune caves è consentito esclusivamente ad esperti nuotatori e sub
Il nome di queste spettacolari attrazioni naturali deriva dai particolari riflessi che l'acqua assume al loro interno, riflessi che cambiano in base ai differenti orari e scorci di luce che penetrano nei vari punti delle grotta.
Excursion in the water in the Blue Cave of Zakynthos, the first thing you notice is the deep blue and crystalline color of this place.
The Blue Caves are suggestive geological formations located in the area between Agios Nikolaos and the lighthouse of Capo Skinari, characterized by a succession of sea caves and arches accessible only by boat or swimming.
Access to some caves is allowed only to expert swimmers and divers
The name of these spectacular natural attractions derives from the particular reflections that the water takes inside, reflections that change according to the different times and glimpses of light that penetrate the various points of the cave.

Zakynthos Video Map:
The Blue Caves are on the northern tip of Zakynthos, around Cape Skinari. Only accessible by boat, the caves are surrounded by natural arches in the rocks. The blue of the sea and sky reflect off of the white rocks, and the caves seem to glow as a result. Boats leave from several places on the island -- Porto Vromi, Ag. Nikolas and the Lighthouse at Skinari - and many of them combine trips to the Shipwreck as well. Diving trips to the Blue Caves are also available.

Zakynthos Island - a paradise on Earth....
White beaches, sea turtles and partying around the clock make Zakynthos a favourite holiday destination
The Venetians called this southernmost Ionian island Fiore di Levante, the Flower of the East. Its nobility and fertility made it the jewel of their empire. Today’s visitors would agree, though they come for its endless beaches – Lagana, Tsilivi, Argassi, Kalamaki, Alykes – where British, French and Italians party day and night.
Looking for indelible moments? You’ll find them when you swim at the famous Shipwreck Beach, watch the sunset from the cliffs of Keri and Kryoneri, listen to the islanders sing their cantatas and see the endangered caretta caretta sea turtles lay their eggs in the island’s white sands. Welcome to Zakynthos, as it is known in Greece, the island that has it all.
What to do in Zakynthos
Set sail for fabulous beaches
From your seat on the caique that does the circuit of Zakynthos, you’ll see a cavalcade of beaches, each one more magical than the last. Shipwreck Beach, Laganas, Gerakas, Vasilikos, Marathonisi, the Blue Caves ... all rank among the most splendid in Greece. Vying for first place, the renowned shipwreck at the eponymous beach adds drama to the ubiquitous white sand, white cliffs and turquoise green water. Come early in the morning, or drop anchor the previous evening, so you can enjoy your first dive before the rest of the world arrives.
The National Marine Park: reserved for sea turtles in the Ionian
The sea and coast around Zakynthos were picked for Greece’s first marine park. This is where the rare caretta caretta sea turtles lay their eggs. In spring these endangered creatures set off for Zante from the Libyan Sea and the southern Adriatic, not because they like the swim but because nature tells them to lay their eggs in the sands of Gerakas, Dafni, Kalamaki, Marathonisi and, especially, Sakania, east of Laganas, as they always have. If you’re lucky enough to witness this spectacle, please don’t disturb.
To enjoy everything Zakynthos has to offer, fly with Aegean.
Bokhali, the prettiest part of town
Zante is not only beaches. Take a stroll through lovely Bokhali, 2km from the centre of town, and you’ll find yourself stopping every few minutes to admire the panoramic view of the harbour, Argassi and the Bay of Laganas. Or to photograph the alleys lined with old houses and traditional cafes. Walk a bit higher, and you’ll come to the castle, camouflaged by all manner of plant and shrub, where the Venetians had their island capital.
St Dionysios
One of Orthodox pilgrimage sites in the Ionian, St Dionysios draws crowds of believers throughout the year as it houses the relics of the saint of the same name (also the island’s patron saint). The impressive church was built in 1926, with a three-aisled basilica and inner arch. The catastrophic earthquake of 1953 left it virtually undamaged. Miracle or just solid foundations?
Hidden gems of Zakynthos
The Strofades, more islands to explore
Only 37 nautical miles from Zante, these two islets are unknown to most tourists, Greek or foreign. A mystery surrounds the 15th century fortified monastery here. It houses an icon of the Virgin that washed up here undamaged after being thrown into the sea by 13th century Orthodox Christians in Constantinople to save it from the Iconoclasts who were destroying all paintings with human figures.
The Rolling… Stone
Locals claim that Mick Jagger hails from the village of Kiliomeno (which translates as rolling) and that’s why he named his band The Rolling Stones. This is a big local tease, but nobody’s kidding when it comes to extoling the virtues of this delightful settlement. Take your time to admire its traditional architectural style and old homes which resemble fortresses.
Zante by the glass
Set aside some time for a visit to an island winery, some of which go back centuries. Hundreds of hectares are devoted to vineyards and there are more than 60 different grape varietals
