A practical guide for a 3-day trip to Zakynthos in the off-season | Shipwreck Bay really amazed me!

#AprilDestinations2025 #Zakynthos #IslandTourism Day 1 Arrive at the hotel at noon and check in - Stay at Palatino Hotel - Front desk staff is enthusiastic and responsible - The room is spacious and clean, equipped with disposable slippers and toiletries - The room has a small balcony, it is very comfortable to sit on the balcony and bask in the sun (But when I passed by Phoenix Hotel during the city walk, I felt that the hotel had a better location, with many restaurants downstairs and a direct view of the sea) Dinner: Sathmos Restaurant - Greek yogurt + honey My friend thinks it's good, but I think it's just average. It has a smooth texture and is not dry and sticky. - The octopus legs were OK, the portion was a bit small, but not bad (The whole octopus I wanted to order was out of stock😭) - Grilled fish is delicious and fresh - Green salad is not recommended! Lots of onions! Two of us couldn't finish it! - The boss has two kittens! Super cute! Will come and stick with you! ⚠️Tips: - The tap water in the hotel is salty, remember to buy bottled water - Many restaurants will provide bottled water directly (charges apply) - The center of Zhajin is not big, and there are not many shops open in the off-season, so you can finish shopping quickly ⛵️ Day 2 Shipwreck BayOne-day tour We booked the tour in advance, 95 euros per person, and the Shipwreck Bay really amazed me -9:20 The tour guide will pick you up at the hotel on time - Small group with only 7 people, no need to get up early - The tour guide will prepare free motion sickness pills and bottled water morning: - Take photos at the city observation deck - Arrive at the departure point at 11:00 ⚠️Can’t swim now - Shipwreck Bay is so beautiful! Be sure to take a speedboat ride! So cool! - The tour guide will take turns taking photos for everyone on the boat - Explore the fantastic blue caves and rocks Lunch: Galaxy Taverna (The tour guide took us there directly and we also met several other tour groups) - Ordered steak, tasted OK, cost around 10 Euros Afternoon: Shipwreck Cove Observation Deck - You have to climb a mountain road, and there is a lot of mud on the ground, which makes your shoes sticky, but the view from the top is definitely worth it - The tour guide uses mobile phone + Polaroid + drone to shoot from multiple angles, guaranteed to produce good photos - We went to a few beaches at the end of the trip. It was very pleasant to sit on the beach and just stare blankly. The weather was not very hot and no brave people went swimming. Dinner: Mythos -Chicken Pita (chicken thighs, tomatoes, onions, French fries and sauces in a roll) - Less than 5 euros, large portion - The chicken thighs are very fragrant but a bit greasy 🚫 Day 3 Dismissal Reminder If you are not interested in sea horse riding/sea fishing/Turtle Island, In the off-season, it is recommended to fly away on the morning of Day 3. Because there is nothing to visit on the island. We were waiting for our evening flight in the hotel lobby, it was so boring
