Zante Blue Caves and Smuggler's Cove Cruise
This cruise around the northern tip of Zante has it all – secret coves, on-board sunbathing and some camera-grabbingly good selfie spots. You'll see stretches of the island's most mesmerizing coastline, including the Blue Caves and Smuggler's Cove – that famous Greek postcard picture of the rusting cargo ship on the pristine cliff-ringed beach.You'll get to catch all of Zante's top coastal bits in one relaxing boat trip. We'll scoot around Cape Skinari, famed for its stone lighthouse, windmills and white cliffs against the turquoise water. And after about two hours at sea, we'll reach Smuggler's Cove. Back in the 80s, a ship carrying contraband cigarettes ran aground in this chalk-white cove. What's left is a fantastic photo-op, and a great place to swim.After a dip, you'll stop by the shimmering Blue Caves. Carved into the cliffs, its sea-smoothed walls reflect the dazzling blue waters like a mirror. Some snacks and drinks will be served, followed by a couple of swim stops. We'll end the cruise on a high with some entertainment – Greek dancing – as we bob back to shore.

Zante is haloed by great beaches – but St Nick's gets top billing. Located at the east of the Vasilikos peninsula, it's one of the island's most popular bathing spots. And with good reason. Not only is it the place to see and be seen, it is overlooked by a gorgeous little white church.
