Zakynthos is the third largest island on the eastern part of the Ionian sea and was among the first Greek islands in Europe to be open to tourism. The island of Zakynthos was also called the Flower of the East or “Fior  di Levante” by the Venetians. The cultural influence of the Venetians has shaped the traditional spirit of Zakynthos. This is also evident from its impressive architecture, Byzantine buildings, museums, and traditional Piazzas around the island. Before you rent a catamaran in Zakynthos, you may stroll through the town and harbor; this is where you will meet locals and tourists and experience a more modern vibe. Once you are ready to hop on your yacht with your family and friends, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy an adventurous escape to the Ionian islands.  

 A catamaran rental in Zakynthos is highly recommended. For a great day cruise, you can visit the shipwreck beach and the blue caves. Catamarans are great for overnight trips; their added stability is also a big plus for families with kids. The bay of Laganas is an excellent overnight stop, offering several swimming and snorkeling opportunities. You may even spot Caretta-Caretta Turtles (also known as loggerhead sea turtles). The shallow draft of a catamaran will also allow you to anchor relatively close to the coast, where the waters become shallower; this way, you are guaranteed a secure and safe trip.
