Why this beach for Navagio and the caves
The northern circuit, Blue Caves at Skinari and the approach toward Navagio, starts logically from this coast. You skip a transfer to a harbour on the far side of the island before you even board.
The beach is pebbles and the water deepens quickly. There is space to leave a car along the road or in the parking beside the shore. Arrive a few minutes earlier than the time on your booking.
How to get here
From Zakynthos town follow the road north, through Alykes and then the coast toward Skinari. Makris Gialos sits on that route. If you are coming from Volimes village, drop down to the coast and meet us on the beach, not in the village.
