Full-day tour (8.30-17.00h) on my glass-bottom boat, maximum capacity is 25 passengers. The boat departs from Porta Roma in Vassilikos . The tour isn't only sightseeing but also eco friendly and educational! The places we visit during the boat trip: Turtle Island, Turtle Island's caves, Keri caves, Agios Sostis fishing port. There is plenty of time for swimming and turtle spotting. Nikos and I also dive and bring back on the boat various different animals for you to see. Afterwards, they are all gently put back in the water. After a day of discovery and sightseeing we will return to Porta Roma at approximately 17:00 hours.

Admittedly the title of this post is a bit of a boast, but bear with me. This is our second consecutive year coming to Zante, last year we stayed at Alykanes and this year we opted for Vasilikos having read the posts on this site about Plaka and Gerakas being the best child friendly beaches on the island. We went to Plaka (need to pay for parasols), Gerakas (beautiful but relatively busy), Porto Roma (don't bother) and this beach, Vasilikos or Mivratzis as it's called on Google maps and local signs. The reason we thought it was fantastic is because it was abandoned for the most part. Not sure if it's Covid-19 related, but the beach bar complex at the back of the beach is abandoned and the lift that leads down from the Royal Zante is out of action. As the bar place has been abandoned some folk had taken some of the benches from the complex to the beach for seating and after 1pm the trees at the beach provide perfect shade so no need for parasols. The water was crystal clear and perfect for our for year old to splash about in and learn to swim in as its a nice sandy beach that stretches quite far out before getting deep. I imagine the rocks on either side of the beach also provide good snorkelling as we saw a few folk doing this and they appeared happy. Not sure the beach has been like this (empty) for years or whether it will be like this again, we're just grateful we got to enjoy it. FYI there was no amenities but we didn't mind as brought snacks and water.

Super nice beach, beautiful scenery, clean shallow waters and soft sand. Restaurant options a few minutes walking distance, a must when visiting Zakynthos
