The Zakynthos City Guides answer what every visitor to the island wants to know: where to eat rabbit stifado and mandolato away from the Laganas strip, how to see Navagio without a packed cruise boat, which cliffs give the best sunset and where the evening goes in Zakynthos town. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look out for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Ionio Pelagos
Klavdianou 11, Zakynthos town
A quiet old-town lane and a table of grilled octopus, shrimp saganaki and the day’s catch sold by weight. Plan on €18 to €25 for a fish main. From the food guide.
Viewpoint of Cliffs of Kampi
Kampi, west coast
Sheer cliffs above the Ionian, a small cross at the edge and one of the widest sunsets on the island. A taverna nearby pours fairly priced drinks in summer. From the things to do guide.
Blue Caves Zakynthos
Cape Skinari, north tip
Sea arches at the northern cape where the sunlight turns the water an electric blue. Pick a small boat that can slip inside; the big cruisers only look from outside. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days on Zakynthos
Day one: breakfast at an old-town bakery, the Byzantine Museum and the climb to Bochali castle, then dinner in a Zakynthos town taverna and a drink near Solomos Square. Day two: drive north-west for the Navagio viewpoint, Anafonitria monastery and lunch in Volimes, then catch the sunset at the Kampi cliffs. For a slow or rainy day, take the olive press museum in Lithakia, the marine park office in town and a long lunch on the Vasilikos peninsula.
Questions about the Zakynthos guides
What do the Zakynthos City Guides include?
144 places across six guides: food, things to do, family, nightlife, day trips and budget. For each one you get why it is worth going, where it is, notes on opening times and a practical tip.
Do I need a car to use the guides on Zakynthos?
A car helps, because the viewpoints, monasteries and western beaches sit at the end of narrow roads. The guides also show which places you can reach by bus or a short taxi ride, and the budget guide explains the island buses.
Do the guides work offline on the island?
Yes. Open each guide once while connected and it keeps working without signal, ticks and notes included. Only the map links need data.
Which languages are the guides in?
The guides open in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Greek, Polish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. You can switch the language inside the guide at any time.
How much do the Zakynthos guides cost?
One guide is €4.99, two are €8.99, four are €15.99 and the full set of six is €19.99.
