Zakynthos is famous for its turtles. Turtle island, however, is famous because it looks like one and is also where turtles come to nest. You can visit the island as part of a boat trip, or sail near it yourself if you rent a boat. The beach is completely underdeveloped, so you can enjoy pristine waters and undisturbed sand.

Zante Water Village is one of the biggest water parks in Greece and a fantastic way to spend the day. With thrilling free-fall slides and the classic Kamikaze, this is the place to test your mate’s fear of heights. Tickets are €20 with a 10% discount if you book online. Our tip: make sure you apply plenty of suncream, as all the getting in and out of water makes it easy to get burned!

Travel to the heart of Zakynthos for a relaxing day out. Zante town is built in classic Venetian style, with a focus on culture and history. There are museums, a tourist train and tombs to explore. It’s a laid back way to spend the day, but perfect for groups looking to chill out after partying.

Sure, we’re starting with a beach bar – but why not? Pure is a great way to spend the day relaxing by the pool, meeting other holidaymakers and getting into the party spirit.
