Porto Limnionas is Zakynthos's best-kept secret — a narrow fjord-like inlet carved into the western cliffs, forming a natural swimming pool of impossibly blue water. Unlike the famous Navagio, you can drive here, and the experience is more intimate and peaceful. The deep turquoise water fills caves and crevices in the limestone.
Families of locals and knowledgable visitors spread out across the flat rocks, diving into the deep blue water. The taverna perched on the cliff above serves fresh grilled octopus and local wine with one of the island's best views. Bring water shoes and snorkeling gear for the best experience.
Steep rocky path down to the water. Not wheelchair accessible. Water shoes essential.
Drive to Porto Limnionas from Zakynthos Town (40 min). Small car park at the top. Walk down the rocky path to the water.
