A Perfect Tour of Zakynthos and Kefalonia
Day 1
In Town
In the morning visit the Byzantine and Solomos museums and soak up the atmosphere of central Plata Solomo, before having a light lunch at nearby I Padella. After a siesta, stroll along the seafront for a coffee or cocktail and enjoy a fish dinner at Komis, after viewing dazzling gios Dionysos church.
Day 2
Boat tour of the island
Choose from one of the many boat tours that circumnavigate the island, usually in an anti-clockwise direction. This is the best way to admire the stunning coastline of Zkynthos: the two main highlights are the Blue Caves and Shipwreck Bay but look out for the Keri caves too. In the evening, dine at Malanos tavern.
Day 3
Vasiliks Peninsula and Lagans Bay
Rent a car for the rest of the week, starting with a gentle drive down the Vasiliks Peninsula, stopping to visit the Turtle Information Centre at Grakas and swim at the splendid beach. After lunch at To Triodi, head for another dip at Lmni Kerio, at the far end of Lagans Bay, before some bar action in Lagans.
