Shipwreck Cruise Half Day
Highlights:
- See the world famous “Panayiotis” shipwreck
- Swim in the crystal clear waters of Smugglers
Cove - Experience the amazing colours of the Blue Caves
- Enjoy the luxury of a large speedboat
You will be picked
up and transferred to the main harbour of Zante town, where you will join a large speed boat for an unforgettable experience cruising to the North of
the Island and back.
The boat will pass the residential area of Krioneri,
the resort areas of Tsilivi, Alykanas and Alykes, up to Skinari, the most
northern part of the island, where you can see the lighthouse. Also, just off
the
Nicholas
turtle, officially belonging to the
as it was not ceded to
along with the rest of the
the 18th Century. From this point our closest neighbor, Kefalonia,
can be seen.
Heading onto Smugglers Cove, where the wreck of the
ship “Panayiotis” can be seen, and a stop for a wonderful swim in the lovely
blue waters. Those strong swimmers wanting to swim ashore can do so with the
captain’s permission, as there is no dock. The beach is not sandy, it has small
white pebbles. Smugglers cove is only
accessible by the sea. (Docking and swimming are weather permitting).
Continuing, the boat will sail to the famous Blue
Caves discovered in 1897. The name comes from the colour of the water, a
mixture of aquamarine and turquoise. This area is also the deepest part of the
Mediterranean called the Well of Ionysos,
which is about 4,500 meters deep. There
will be a swim stop here for about 30 minutes.
The boat will now turn around and will cruise back to
the port in town, arriving at about 13.30.
Here you will be met and transferred back to your
resort.
