In 1983, the smuggling ship Panagiotis was stranded here when it was transporting cigarettes, so it was named "Wreck Bay" Tips: The best viewing time is 11 am to 2 pm on the cliff of the observation deck. When looking for an angle to take pictures here, be sure to pay attention to safety!"Elation43.3 km from downtownNo.1 of Best Things to Do in Ionian IslandsHighlights: Shipwreck Bay is located on the northern west coast of Zakynthos Island. It is a well-known scenic spot on the island. It is well-known to the Chinese because the popular Korean drama "Descendants of the Sun" was filmed here. The bay is named for the wrecked ships that ran aground on the beach, and the entire Shipwreck Bay can be overlooked from a hilltop viewing platform a few hundred meters high from a nearby cliff. Steep cliffs surround the white sandy beach on three sides, and the surrounding sea water is from far to near, from deep to shallow, showing three different levels of blue: sapphire blue, fluorescent blue, and cream blue, as beautiful as being in a fantasy fairyland. Such beautiful scenery not only attracted the filming crew of "Descendants of the Sun", but also the famous Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki. inside the animation.Show Less

At the northernmost corner, there is such a place that turns into the cave, through the transparent deck of the boat, and looks down and looks down at the bright blue deeply imprinted in the mind."Elation36.1 km from downtownNo.2 of Best Things to Do in Ionian IslandsHighlights: The Blue Cave is not a single cave, but a row of naturally formed karst caves along the coastline. It is one of the well-known attractions on the island. These blue caves are located on the east coast of the northern part of Zakynthos Island. The water in the caves is very translucent, emitting a faint light like crystal, which is fascinating. The crystal clear sea water came into view, as if the blue ink had been knocked over, which was very surprising. There are many glass boats on Zakynthos Island to visit the Blue Hole. You can take a cruise here. You can see the fluorescent blue fine sand and plankton on the bottom of the sea clearly through the bottom of the glass boat. On a hot summer day, you can go for a swim in the sea, and your whole body will be refracted into fluorescent blue, which is really amazing.Show Less

But due to some damage to the environment, few turtles are laying eggs here now. But there is a returnee rescue center on the island, which houses many injured turtles, so you may wish to visit."Zakinthos Island66.3 km from downtownNo.3 of Best Things to Do in Ionian IslandsHighlights: Turtle Island is a small island in the southern waters of Zakynthos, near Laganas Beach, shaped like a turtle, hence the name "Turtle Island". Turtle Island is a very primitive island in Zakynthos, with a strong tropical style and pristine, undeveloped beautiful beaches. Every year around June, sea turtles go to the island to lay their eggs, and this is also the time when there are many tourists on the island. In order to protect the environment of Turtle Island, this barren island has no residents or any entertainment facilities, and of course there is no restaurant, which retains the atmosphere of a paradise. If you want to swim with very ancient reptiles, come to Turtle Island!Show Less
