Overview

Depart from Agios Sostis and combine two of Zakynthos' most famous experiences in one unforgettable day. Visit the Zakynthos Marine Park to spot turtles and enjoy a swim in its crystal-clear waters before cruising the island's wild and remote west coast.

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

Return hotel transfers are included from resorts within a 6 km radius of Zakynthos Airport (Zakynthos Town, Argassi, Kalamaki and Laganas).We aim to collect guests directly from their accommodation; however, to minimise overall travel time, a convenient nearby pick-up point may occasionally be arranged.Tour departure and pick-up times may vary by up to 30 minutes either side of the stated departure time due to multiple pick-up locations, traffic conditions, and seasonal operational requirements. Guests will always be informed of their exact pick-up time in advance.Pickups from areas just outside this zone, such as Tsilivi, are available for a €5 return (round-trip) pickup fee per person.Pickups from all other areas of the island are available on request and subject to confirmation, and may incur an additional fee depending on distance. Unfortunately, we are unable to collect from Vasilikos. Argassi is the closest available pick-up point for Vasilikos guests.Guests may also request a preferred pick-up location within the included radius. We recommend contacting the supplier after booking and prior to the tour to confirm the exact pick-up point, time, and any applicable supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Zakynthos West Coast, Mizithres Shipwreck & Turtle Spotting Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
