Truly very impressive and therefore completely rightly a highlight. The countless photos speak for themselves. I can only recommend taking the little detour over the beach and looking at the rocks from below.

Eroded cliffs at Zakynthos National Marine Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Extremely impressive and an absolute highlight are the bizarre-looking rock formations. I'm not a geologist, but the rock is extremely light, porous and strongly reminiscent of limestone/chalk. Nonetheless, a real highlight.

In the southeast of Zakynthos, we did a small but beautiful mini-hike of about 4 km. The start and end point was the Turtle Rescue Center.

The path led along a fantastic beach with a magnificent view of the turquoise blue sea. A particularly exciting part was a narrow section directly on the coast, which was partly almost washed away …

You park at the Perfetto Snack Bar. Then you walk down the street to the beach. From there you always have great views.
At the end you can quench your thirst in the Perfetto Snack Bar.
