Zakynthos can be a wonderful destination for families with kids. There are great beaches all around the island being the ones on the east the best for kids. The most popular beaches are Alikes, Alikanas, and Argasi. On the west part, the cliffs falling into the sea make the beach inaccessible; you can swim at the Navagio, a beach created around an actual shipwreck that can only be reached by boat, and at the Limnionas lagoon.

You can take the kids to the Blue Caves where they will feel that they are inside mother Earth as the different geological formations are visible on the walls. An exciting detail is that you can access the caves by boat.

Or, why not visit the beaches of Lagana and Geraka where the Caretta-Caretta sea-turtles lay their eggs at night. You don’t want do disturb the turtles, but you can always enjoy these spectacular beaches during the day. A downside is that they are too crowded.

If the kids are older, you can take them for a walk downtown to enjoy the museums, historical monuments, monasteries and churches that preserve the spirit of the past.
