Yacht Tours

Zakynthos is a paradise on the face of the earth with many kilometers of coast and a number of small islands around it make the ideal destination for summer season. This advantage is strengthened by favourable conditions for sea traveling since Ionian sea is considered safe, as distances between coasts are small while conditions related to wind strength, ambient and sea temperatures are equally favourable.
