Relax at the gorgeous beaches
The past few days you've explored quite a bit, today it's time to relax! Driving around is the only activity you’ll do today (and eating, drinking, and laying, of course). Warning: Hidden Gem overload!
Start your day at Porto Roxa Beach
Porto Roxa Beach is a little hidden paradise in Zakynthos. The way there will let you believe you’re on another island. It is a long, bumpy, and “hill-y” road that has the most amazing view and almost no-one around. The moment you arrive at Porto Roxa, you’ll notice that it’s not really a beach, as there are large rocks everywhere and (almost) no sand. There are, however, cozy sunbeds and sun swings all over the place, that are free to use (if you buy a drink or buy something to eat at very reasonable prices). It is hidden away from tourists, which makes it the perfect spot to relax a bit - make sure to claim your spot on a sunbed. Nothing beats reading a book with an amazing seaside view in one hand, and a delicious Mojito in the other. You can also swim, snorkel and dive here, there even is a springboard to plunge into the sea!
Lunch at Porto Limnionas Tavern
All that relaxing and drinking will probably make you hungry after a while, so pack your bags and get on your scooter (or in your car)! Enjoy some drinks and food with a splendid view at Porto Limnionas Tavern. You can get there by following the (only) road in this area, it is a less than 5 minutes drive to get there. The presentation of the food is rather simple, but the taste is amazing and so fresh! The perfect place to unwind, eat good food and enjoy amazing views. Order as much as your heart desires without worrying about the bill, because this is a rather cheap place.
Relax at Porto Limnionas
After a nice meal, it's time to do some more sunbathing! Rent one of the restaurant’s sunbeds and relax, pick your seat before having lunch to have more options of where you want to sit. You can also order food and drinks from the restaurant that will be delivered to your seat, so no need to even get up! If you want to take a dip, you have to go down a bit and (more like a small hike) but the breathtaking scenery is more than worth it! There are beds with our without sunshade, close or far way from the water, plenty of choice! That book will probably be finished by the end of the afternoon ;-).
Sunset dinner at Porto Schiza
Book finished? Skin tanned? Now it’s time for another magical sunset! Go to Porto Schiza for the most magnificent sunset views ever. The ride there (around 30 minutes if you take in the scenery) will warn you from what’s to come: Countless billboards advertising “Best sunset” and “amazing views”, and they did not lie! Order some local specialties (grilled feta!) and enjoy an unforgettable evening! The dishes here are very tasty and soo underpriced it is almost criminal. The best thing about this restaurant is that it is not crowded at all, and they give you a real personal experience. Whether you’re ordering 1 glass of wine (like some friends we made over there) or ordered a full 4 course dinner like we did, the people there treat you like real kings and queens. And the view… Literally to die for!
