10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Zakynthos That You Shouldn't Miss
The Ionian Islands are splendid, cinematic paradise. The waters are bluest blue, the sands are achingly silky and smooth. Everything looks heavily Photoshopped. But that's just Mother Nature, in all her unspoiled glory. Zakynthos is the largest of the Ionian Islands, and it's as fruitful as it is beautiful, boasting a bounty of crops like olives and grapes. Music is a huge part of the local culture—you can catch a concert or festival almost any night of the week, and you'll be captivated by the sights and sounds of Zakynthos performers.

Full-day tour (8.30-17.00h) on my glass-bottom boat, maximum capacity is 25 passengers. The boat departs from Porta Roma in Vassilikos . The tour isn't only sightseeing but also eco friendly and educational! The places we visit during the boat trip: Turtle Island, Turtle Island's caves, Keri caves, Agios Sostis fishing port. There is plenty of time for swimming and turtle spotting. Nikos and I also dive and bring back on the boat various different animals for you to see.

6. Goumas Estate - Art & Wine Winery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 83 reviews
A venue of enhanced creativity, Goumas Estate - Art & Wine is located at Trilagkada, near the mountainous settlement of Maries, northwestern Zakynthos. Two different but connected worlds of creation cohabit its spaces; an icon painting workshop and a boutique winery. Both live on the hard work, passion and life of Giatras-Goumas family, confined in a traditional, refurbished home made of stone.

As soon as you step into the Goumas estate, you are transferred to another dimension. Serenity, taste and good honest work ooze out of every stone. It’s you, the mountains, the vineyard, the stone rooms, and the gods of nature. Giannis is a saint-painter having taken many projects of orthodox church renovation and decoration. He creates his wines like he creates his art: with diligence, honour and sophistication. Despina is also a creature of art, a talented and resourceful multitasker, gliding like a fairy from the vineyard to help with daily chores, to the kitchen to produce unique handmade jams and cookies and caramelised fruit symphonies, to the dance-school to keep following her passion and keeping her body and spirit balanced and tuned. Have a sit with these two very interesting artists. Taste the unique wines - make sure you don’t miss the smoked wine! Sample the homemade delicacies! And indulge into the most Greek experience you can have: great food, great wine, and deep conversation on a little slice of heaven!

I googled Therianos family farm before I left for Greece. The warm welcome by Tez was so lovely. After he explained the farm and what to see we wondered off to explore. On our return Tez started to tell us about the family history of the farm, the present and the future. He then went on to tell us about the organic products and gave us samples. This was not just a ‘visit’ it turned out to be genuinely personal. I told Taz my partner was diabetic, to which he recommended High Polyphenol. 20ml per day before food, he should see a massive difference. So we bought a bottle - if it works then wonderful! We were introduced to his sister Dionysia who we were told was an artist and author. She told us all about her book by showing us a copy and read a couple of pieces we chose for her to read (because it was in Greek) I really felt moved and touched by the readings and her story of how she came to write the book. I looked on Amazon and there is was, Learning to fly : kiss of the spirit. I will definitely placing an order. Anyhow,,, We bought some organic products and said our goodbyes. What a fantastic, informative and perfect visit. See you again guys, I’ll be treading grapes with you one day as promised ???? Please visit and support this amazing family.
