This is a unique high-end taverna on the cliffside surrounded by the nature and calm of north east Zakynthos with amazing views to the open Ionian Sea and one of the most beautiful sunset spots. The food and service are very good and it offers Greek traditional and Greek fusion dishes as well a good wine list. You must reserve a table as it is very busy.

Nasihat bandar
Barang yang perlu dibawa bersama
insect repellent
Mosquitos are very common in the Greek summer and although they are harmless they can cause a lot of discomfort and I highly suggest you always wear a strong repellent throughout the day.
Jangan ketinggalan
Navagio (shipwreck) beach
This is the most popular beach of Greece and you must make sure you visit once. I highly recommend you drive to Porto Vromi in the north east of the island and you can rent a boat from there to go to the beach or board a guided tour.
Please call them 1-2 days prior as they are busy and because the tours could be cancelled easily if the weather is not good. Due to the location of the beach you can only access it by boat and as it is a deep open sea the slightest wind change causes serious disruptions to the tours.
Cara Bergerak Ke Kawasan Sekitar
Bottled water only
Nowhere on the island is there drinkable tap water and you must always ask and use bottled water.
