Jeep Safari
Our safari covers the whole island, from south to north and back. We explore the varied terrain from the plains on the eastern side, which merge gently into peaceful days and golden beaches, to the western side, which is mountainous with steep cliffs along its coastline. During the safari we drive both on and off road carefully and considerately.
Our first stop is at the historic Venetian church tower in the beautiful mountain village Kiliomenos.
Heading off track we visit the village of Loucha and also Giri, which is the smallest village on the island, having a population of only 20 people. Our next stop at Vrachiona, the highest point on the island where on a clear day you will be able to view the whole of Zakynthos, Kefallonia and the Greek mainland in the distance.
Heading further north we visit the cross of Kampi and learn the history behind it. You will also be able to take in the magnificent rugged coastline on this side of the island.
After lunch break, we drive through Exo Chora, where you will see the oldest olive tree on the island, on Maries and into the tiny village of Anafonitria. Just outside Anafonitria we have a short stop with a little wine tasting and see some of our local products such as rugs, lace, honey, wine.
