Kefalonia: Zakynthos Shipwreck & Blue Caves-Alykanas cruise

Discover Zakynthos on a full-day cruise from Skala, Kefalonia. Admire Shipwreck Beach, swim near the Blue Caves, and enjoy free time in the seaside village of Alykanas.
Zante is an island with a rich cultural heritage. Also, it is one of the last reproductive grounds of the Caretta-Caretta sea turtle.
Our cruise starts from Skala at 9 am. In about 40 minutes we reach cape Skinari of Zante. From cape Skinari until the famous shipwreck beach the coastline is rocky, steep, and truly impressive.
Ship Wreck
At about 10:00 am we reach the famous shipwreck beach. It is known worldwide and is almost synonymous with Zante. An impressive landscape, with crystal blue waters caressing this beautiful beach that embraces the semi covered remains of a ship and behind it a breathtaking escarpment, complete this magic scene. This beautiful beach maybe would have remained anonymous and unknown since there is no road to it, if during 1983, an abandoned smuggling merchant ship had not washed ashore.
Year after year the tide would bury it in the sand and the beach became known, advertised, and today is globally known and is the biggest sight on the island. Thousands of tourists visit it daily. For safety reasons disembarkation and swimming is not permitted anymore.
We will stay at the bay on a distance of about 40-50 meters for view and photos. Then we will sail for the blue caves and about half way there you can see the castled wall and the ruins of St. Andrews monastery. Just down the way, a strange cave with stalactites. The depth is about 70m. Large waves, especially during winter occur in this area and very often we can see seals .

Blue Caves
These caves were carved by the wild waves within the centuries that whip the irregular coastlines. They get their color from the underwater seabed. The biggest cave has a length of 35m. Thousands of tourists visit it daily with small or large ships; yachts all drop by to admire this scenery.We will tour the blue caves we will enter in the biger one as much as possible for view and photoes.
Leaving the blue caves, in 15min we will stop for swimming at Platys Gialos Bay, for about 30 minutes. Crystal blue waters invite you to dive in and enjoy!

Alykes
Our next stop is Alykes. A small picturesque village with a sandy beach, water sports and restaurants for whoever wants to eat. We will stay here for about 2 hours and I hr later around 1500 hrs we will be back to Skala.
