Whether you're travelling to Zante in the Greek Islands, also known
as Zakynthos, for a relaxing holiday, or seeking a holiday with a
difference in Zante, I am developing my 'Explore Zakynthos' Youtube
video channel will help you plan for the highlights of Zante island.
The Blue Caves of Zante are one of the most popular site seeing
excursions for people visiting this beautiful island. The stunning rock
formations in the northern region of Skinari are famous for being
surrounded in bright blue and sapphire waters.
If you do get a chance to visit the northern region of the island,
we really recommend taking a boat trip from Skinari to see the Blue
Caves. From here you will be taken in a small glass bottom boat which
can take you right into the caves for a really memorable Zante holiday
experience.
The whole of the north, and parts of the west coast, is marked with
small sea caves and rock formations. At the furthest northern tip of
Zante, in the region known as Skinari, the famous Blue Caves are found.
There are stunning rock formations, arches, and sea caves in this
region. But, most famous is the magical process of light reflection that
takes place within the Blue Caves; turning the water into a fantastic
azure translucent blue.
We recommend visiting the blue caves early in the day as this is when
the light is most striking on the water and the colours really stand
out. Also, the best way to view the blue caves is by driving up to the
northern region of the island and taking a small boat trip from here.
The smaller boats that leave close to the Blue Caves are able to take
you into the caves and offer a more flexible service – giving you time
to swim inside the caves.
Make sure you take your camera with you on your trip to the Blue Caves
as the natural landscape here is among the most beautiful on the island.
You are bound to be impressed with the beautiful water and ancient
caves. Visiting this region should be high on your things to do list
while on holiday in Zante.
