A Stunning Secret in the Deep Blue Aegean Sea

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Zakynthos, Greece: The Dream of Shipwreck Bay in Blue and White This summer, I finally checked in at the filming location of "Descendants of the Sun"โ€”Zakynthos Island! This gem in the Ionian Sea not only boasts jelly-blue waters but also a wealth of cultural stories and hidden experiences worth exploring. โœจ Must-visit spots: โˆš Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Bay) One of the most beautiful beaches in the world, where the famous rusted shipwreck lies quietly on the white sand. Itโ€™s recommended to take a speedboat there (โ‚ฌ15 per person); the captain will stop at the best photo spots! Be sure to go before 9 AM or after 4 PM for the most magical lighting! โˆš Blue Caves Naturally formed sea caves that display different shades of blue under sunlight refraction. Remember to bring your swimsuit so you can jump into this crystal-clear "blue paint" and swim! โˆš Laganas Beach A super long golden sandy beach, perfect for capturing Instagram-worthy sunset shots. Itโ€™s also a nesting ground for Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtles, where you can see groups of Caretta caretta turtles from May to October. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Food recommendations: ๐Ÿ“ Taverna Panorama (Cliffside Restaurant) Enjoy freshly grilled seafood while overlooking the entire Shipwreck Bay. The signature grilled octopus and lobster pasta are must-tries! Around โ‚ฌ35 per person; booking in advance is recommended. ๐Ÿ“ Porto Schiza A local favorite tavern, known for authentic Greek salad and Moussaka. The owner even offers homemade lemon liqueur as a gift~ ๐Ÿจ Accommodation tips: โˆš Dali Hotel Right by the main beach, suites with private pools are only โ‚ฌ120 per night, and itโ€™s just a 3-minute walk to jump into the Ionian Sea. โˆš Olea Hotel An Instagram-style design hotel with a floating breakfast thatโ€™s perfect for photos, and a rooftop infinity pool facing the sunset. ๐Ÿ“Œ Practical tips: 1. The best travel season is from May to October; July and August are the busiest, so consider off-peak times. 2. Public transportation on the island is inconvenient; renting an ATV quad bike (โ‚ฌ25/day) is recommended for free exploration. 3. To capture the full panorama of Shipwreck Bay, head to the cliff viewpoint; navigate by searching "Shipwreck Viewpoint." Porto Schiza Tavern Shipwreck Bay Blue Caves
