PRIVATE TOURS FAR FROM THE CROWDS… 

Specialising in off-the-beaten-track social and natural history guided island tours 
 
 

An abundance of wildlife and stunning scenery awaits the inquisitive tourist willing to take time for a closer look at Zakynthos.  Far from the madding crowds one can find wild meadows, lush green valleys, stunning mountain scenery, small rocky beach coves with not a single soul in sight.   In settings like these you are sure to glimpse the original natives; a wide-eyed Little Owl, the national bird of Greece, perched late afternoon in an olive tree, witness the brilliance of The Balkan Green Lizard as he lazily suns himself or the beautiful Swallowtail butterfly on her graceful search for nectar.  These special places are quiet enough to hear the distinct repetitive mewing call of a buzzard or two riding the thermals. 

Maybe you prefer to uncover the past; a British freemasons codex from the 1800's, a hillside burial site of an ancient people, colossus olive trees, medieval chapels and fossil clad caves – these and more historical gems glisten just under the surface eager for discovery and their stories told, if you know where to look!   

This is the alternative view of Zakynthos, an enthralling travel-learn experience that can easily interlink with eco-tourism, concentrating on enjoying and respecting wildlife and the environment. 

We have devised a selection of talk and trek trails that alternate locations and themes during the week.  Each tour is different, a mini adventure exploring past and present.  Spectacular mountain views, fertile valleys, olive grove trails, and traditional village settings.
