Off Road Zakynthos – Open Top Jeep
Highlights
- Explore mountain villages
in the north of the island - Enjoy breathtaking views
throughout the island - Cool off with a swim at
the end of the day
There is no better way to see hidden parts of Zakynthos than by joining
our Jeep Safari.
Your jeep guide/driver will pick you up from your resort in an open top
jeep and take you on a journey of discovery both on road and off road. There
will be many sights and scenic stops en route and you will learn many great
facts about the island.
The tour will start with a drive towards the north of the island, where
the first stop will be at Xigia Beach for photos. This will be followed by a
stop a little further north at Makris Gialos Beach for a swim, coffee or simply
relaxing.
The route then takes you to the famous Shipwreck Viewpoint, where you
can see the boat “Panayiotis” from on high. The next stop will be a visit to
the monastery of Saint Georgios Krimnon established in 1535.
Then making your way to the village of Anafonitria, there will be the
opportunity for a little wine tasting and sampling of other local products.
Next the jeeps will continue to take you around mountain villages set in
lush landscapes, plus a journey off road to the Vrachionas mountain range. Be
sure to have your cameras ready when you stop at the highest point on the
island where you can take in breathtaking views of the whole of Zakynthos. You will also travel through the traditional
villages of Giri and Louxa, which have been left virtually untouched by modern
life.
Now it is time for a stop in the village of Kampi for lunch at a local
taverna (not included in the price).
After lunch, the jeeps will pass through the villages of Agios Leondas
and Kiliomenos before returning you to your resort.
The jeep safari is a great fun day out not to miss out on. Return to
resort approximately 16.00.
