Zakynthos Island (Greece) is a place loved by people of art. Painters, musicians and writers come here from all corners of the world. In reality, everyone is welcome here, and now you have the possibility to buy a holiday package to Zakynthos with departure from Iași, which is a perfect option both for residents of Romania and of Moldova.
What makes Zakynthos so attractive? The beaches and the local nature deserve a separate discussion. Azure sea, clean sand, olive groves, orchards… and many, many other things! Most importantly, do not forget to visit the famous Navagio Bay, on whose shore the smugglers’ ship “rests”, while from the sea you can spot the grand Caretta–Caretta turtles.

Zakynthos — an island of inspiration
The atmosphere on Zakynthos combines the calm rhythm of the sea with the vivid Greek character. Seafront promenades, cosy squares, narrow streets and architecture with Venetian influences all together create a perfect backdrop for artists, photographers and anyone who travels for inspiration.
In Zakynthos Town you will find a picturesque harbour, old churches, bright squares and plenty of cafés and patisseries. In the evening the promenade fills with life, lights reflect in the water, and a simple walk quickly turns into a romantic scene from your own travel movie.
If you want more than just sunbathing, Zakynthos is a great match: you can easily combine the beach with cultural walks, wine tastings and exploring traditional villages scattered across the island.
Beaches and nature of Zakynthos
Beaches are one of the main reasons why travellers keep returning to Zakynthos. Soft sand, crystal-clear water, hidden coves framed by white cliffs and long family-friendly stretches mean you can discover a new favourite spot almost every day.
Navagio Bay is the island’s superstar. White cliffs, intensely turquoise water and the famous shipwreck on the sand form one of the most photographed views in all of Greece. Boat trips to Navagio depart from several ports around the island and are often combined with swimming stops and visits to the Blue Caves.
Zakynthos is also home to the protected Caretta–Caretta sea turtles. On some southern beaches there are special rules to protect their nests. Seeing these impressive turtles in their natural habitat is a unique experience — as long as you keep a respectful distance and follow the local guidelines.

Zakynthos for travellers from Romania and Moldova
A major advantage of Zakynthos packages with flights from Iași is accessibility for two neighbouring countries at once. Travellers from Romania and from Moldova can reach the airport relatively easily and then enjoy a direct holiday without complicated connections.
This format saves time and energy: flights, transfers and accommodation are pre-arranged, so you can focus on the pleasant part — beaches, food, landscapes and new memories. Depending on the month, you can choose a calmer shoulder-season atmosphere or, on the contrary, the vibrant peak summer feel.
Whether you travel as a family, with friends or as a couple, Admiral.Travel managers can help you choose the dates, duration and hotel to make your holiday comfortable in terms of budget and overall vibe.
What to do in Zakynthos
• Take a boat trip to Navagio Bay — the absolute must-see of the island. You will see the famous shipwreck up close, dramatic cliffs and surreal turquoise shades of the sea.
• Join a cruise to the Blue Caves — a scenic ride along the northern coast with swimming stops and plenty of photo opportunities in and around the caves.
• Go on a turtle-spotting tour — organised trips in areas like Laganas Bay let you observe Caretta–Caretta turtles from the boat while respecting all nature-protection rules.
• Enjoy beach days — pick a new spot each day: lively Laganas, active Tsilivi with watersports, relaxed Alykanas or the more natural scenery of Gerakas.
• Spend evenings in traditional tavernas — live music, Greek dances, local dishes and island wines create a mood you simply cannot pack in your suitcase, but will remember for a long time.
• Rent a car or ATV for a day — this is the best way to reach mountain villages, panoramic viewpoints and quiet coves that larger excursion buses often skip.
Suggested 1-day itinerary in Zakynthos
• Morning – leave early for a boat excursion to Navagio Bay and the Blue Caves. Morning light makes the colours of the sea even more intense and the temperature is pleasantly mild.
• Lunch – stop in a seaside taverna with a view. Order fresh fish or seafood, Greek salad and a light dessert before continuing the day.
• Afternoon – relax on Tsilivi or Alykanas beach: a couple of hours on a sunbed, a long swim and, if you wish, a bit of watersports.
• Evening – head to Zakynthos Town: stroll around the main square, treat yourself to ice cream or Greek pastries, and round off the day with a relaxed walk along the harbour.
Suggested 2-day itinerary in Zakynthos
Day 1:
• Morning – boat excursion to Navagio Bay and the Blue Caves with swimming breaks. • Midday – lunch at a traditional taverna in the north of the island, then a stop at a viewpoint overlooking Navagio from above. • Evening – return to your hotel, dinner and a relaxed walk in your resort.
Day 2:
• Morning – beach time in the south (Laganas, Kalamaki or Gerakas), with the chance to spot turtles from the shore or on a short boat ride. • Midday – seaside lunch with local mezze, grilled fish and Greek specialities. • Afternoon – drive through mountain villages, taste local olive oil and wine. • Sunset – enjoy the view from a panoramic terrace or clifftop viewpoint with the sea below.

Practical tips for your Zakynthos holiday
• Season – the main beach season usually runs from May to October. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, while May–June and September are perfect for a quieter atmosphere.
• Money – Greece uses the euro, so it is useful to carry some cash for small purchases in tavernas, beach bars and local shops. Cards are widely accepted in hotels and many restaurants.
• Clothing – besides swimwear, pack a light jacket for cooler evenings and comfortable shoes for excursions, walks on rocks and visits to mountain villages.
• Sun protection – the sun can be strong, especially during boat trips and on open beaches, so do not forget high-SPF sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.
• Excursions – to make the most of your time, consider planning the key trips (Navagio, Blue Caves, turtle tours) in advance with your agency or local representative, especially in peak season.
