The farms, villages and ancient groves that most visitors to Zakynthos never find. One day, your group, at your own pace.

Most visitors to Zakynthos see the coastline. This tour takes you inland โ€” into the hills, the old stone buildings and the ancient groves where the island’s real story has been quietly unfolding for centuries. Your private minivan picks you up directly from your accommodation at 8:00 am โ€” whether that is a hotel, villa, Airbnb or country house anywhere in Zakynthos โ€” and the day unfolds at a leisurely pace, returning around 4:00 pm.

No strangers, no waiting for others, no compromises. Just your group and the island.

Local Farm This is a trip back in time โ€” and a reminder that some knowledge never loses its value. The family behind this farm will walk you through the way things were done here for generations and how those traditions have carried through to today. The visit ends with tastings of homemade wine, olive oil pressed on site, and locally made cosmetics. Simple, honest, and unexpectedly moving.

Shipwreck Viewpoint No visit to Zakynthos is complete without seeing Navagio โ€” and seeing it from the clifftop is something else entirely. The sheer drop to the cove below, the white sand, the rusting hull of the stranded ship surrounded by impossible blue water โ€” this is the image that has made Zakynthos famous. Standing at the edge and looking down, it’s easy to understand why.

Lunch in Anafonitria In the village of Anafonitria, lunch is waiting. A traditional Greek meal at a local restaurant, included in the price โ€” the kind of food that reminds you why Greek cuisine has endured for thousands of years. Dishes vary but the spirit is the same: fresh ingredients, honest recipes, nothing to prove.

Please note that lunch is served as a set menu. Full menu options are listed in the dedicated menu section below.

Exo Chora โ€” The Ancient Olive Tree In the village square of Exo Chora stands a tree that was already old when the Roman Empire was at its height. This olive tree is over 2,000 years old โ€” its trunk has split and twisted over the centuries into something that looks more like sculpture than nature, and yet it still produces olives today. Stand next to it and try to comprehend what it has witnessed. Most people can’t.

Olive Press Factory The final stop brings everything together. At a working olive press, the owners walk you through the full journey from fruit to oil โ€” through video and guided explanation in English โ€” and invite you to taste the result straight from the source. After a day spent among olive groves and ancient trees, it’s the perfect way to close the loop.

What is not included in the price?

Drinks at lunch are not included and are to be ordered and paid for directly at the restaurant. A complimentary bottle of water per person is provided with the meal. As a general rule, anything not explicitly described in the itinerary as included is not part of the price. Personal expenses such as souvenirs and any purchases made along the way are also at your own cost.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Yes, children are welcome and will enjoy the day just as much as the adults.

Is the tour suitable for people with mobility issues?

Unfortunately this tour involves walking across uneven terrain and is not suitable for guests with mobility issues. If you are unsure whether the tour is right for you, please contact us before booking.

What should we wear and bring?

Comfortable walking shoes are essential. Wear light clothing suited to a warm day outdoors, and bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Cold water is provided throughout the day but feel free to bring extra.

How long is the tour?

Pick-up begins at 8:00 am and the tour returns at approximately 4:00 pm. As this is a private tour, timings are slightly more flexible โ€” your escort will make sure the day flows at a pace that suits your group.

How many people are on the tour?

The private minivan accommodates a maximum of six guests โ€” just your group, nobody else.

Does the tour include pick-up and drop-off?

Yes. The private experience includes door-to-door pick-up and drop-off directly from your accommodation โ€” hotels, villas, Airbnbs and country houses anywhere in Zakynthos are all covered.

How far in advance do I need to book?

Private tours require a minimum of 48 hours notice to arrange everything properly. For last-minute requests, please contact one of our agents directly and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Can I choose my main course in advance?

Your main course is chosen on the day at the restaurant. If you have special dietary requirements, please let us know at the time of booking so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Is there a tour guide?

A dedicated English-speaking escort accompanies your group throughout the entire day โ€” someone who knows the island, looks after the logistics, and makes sure everything runs smoothly. Think of them as your go-to person for the day rather than a formal guide.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your safety and comfort always come first. If conditions affect the tour, we will reschedule you on the next available departure at no extra cost, or offer a full refund if you are unable to join a future trip.
