bennybear Posted February 16, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Take a look at my picture, that’s shipwreck beach! Worth the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylizcat Posted February 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Try nefis-travel.com for a great island tour. We spent a week on the island and did two great tours with them. They also offer shore excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisonfe Posted March 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2018 When we were in Athens last July 2017 that island had a major party scene. An african american young man was chased and beaten to death by serbian bouncers at a sports bar for some selfie taken with a waitress (or other unknown factors) - brutal. It made us leery in Greece, as a mixed american couple. FYI we had no problems, but we are an old married couple, not on the party scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It made us leery in Greece, as a mixed american couple. FYI we had no problems, but we are an old married couple, not on the party scene. I hadn’t heard about this, so googled it. It happened in the resort of Laganas, which is the place all the youngsters go, who want to party all night and sleep all day. Every larger Greek island has a resort like that. Whilst a tragedy for the young man’s family, I don’t think too many cruisers will be in clubs in such resorts at 4 am! I am afraid drunken brawls are all too common in such places.

arl_nocaps Posted March 19, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted March 19, 2018 thanks everyone ---hmmm could be a day to spend on board as we have no sea days on my crystal cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylizcat Posted March 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2018 thanks everyone ---hmmm could be a day to spend on board as we have no sea days on my crystal cruise. That seems a shame! If you want an easy day, why not just have a stroll around Zakynthos Town, where your tender drops you? It is a very pleasant place. Check out some photos online. You could take a horse and carriage tour. Have a nice lunch in a waterfront taverna - mezes and ouzo? Moussaka?

bennybear Posted March 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Shipwreck beach is one of the most beautiful Greek beaches, why we visited this island. IMO it would be a complete shame not to see it but....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arl_nocaps Posted April 7, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted April 7, 2018 getting interested in ship tours ---shipwreck beach with the blues caves or keri caves and marathonisi island. decisions, decisions ---??? thinking of keri caves anyone been there ?

marylizcat Posted April 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I presume both tours are boat trips? Is Marathonisi Island for the turtle spotting? We did a boat trip to Shipwreck Beach and the Blue Caves, which were fun to swim in and turn blue (!) with Nefis Travel who I mentioned earlier. This was a great day out. However we did not do the other trip so I cannot advise on that one. But Shipwreck Beach is the iconic sight on the island as seen in so many adverts for Greece!
