The big sandy resorts are easy to reach by anything. The truly special swimming spots reward you for renting something that can handle a hill and a dirt track.
Why a quad or buggy
Zakynthos’ west coast is a maze of steep, winding lanes that drop down to tiny rocky inlets. A nimble ATV or open buggy makes the drive part of the fun, and lets you park right at coves where larger cars struggle.
Porto Limnionas
A fjord-like inlet of glass-clear, deep water on the west coast. No sand, just smooth rock platforms and a cliffside taverna. The twisting approach is tailor-made for a quad.
Xigia Sulphur Beach
On the north-east coast, Xigia’s water is naturally rich in sulphur and collagen, a free spa with a scent to match. It sits below a steep access road that an ATV takes in its stride.
Dafni & the wild south-east
Reached by a long unpaved track through the hills, Dafni is a protected turtle beach with a wonderfully end-of-the-world feel. Go slow, respect the marine-park rules, and enjoy having a slice of paradise that the crowds skip.
