• There is a gentle slope to the monastery and steps to the Shipwreck platform and in the taverna.

FANTASTIC DAY WITH EXCELLENT CREW!!
My wife and I spent a day with Nikos and Aris on a private speedboat trip to shipwreck beach and the blue cave. We set off just after 8am which in hindsight proved to be a brilliant idea as we were one of the first boats at the beach and we counted just 12 of us on the beach. As we were heading to the blue cave you could see a huge number of boats heading to the beach, easily around a thousand people. So we were very lucky. We also had a few good swim stop in hidden locations which were great along with a delicious lunch in a family run seaside taverna. This was a fantastic day out and both the guide and skipper were a lot of fun and made us laugh all the way there and back. We also got to see a turtle as a bonus for the day. I would happily recommend Nefis Travel, Mariska who arranged the tour was friendly and very efficient, the speed boat we were on had a much bigger engine than other boats and so that really helped us to be one of the first at the shipwreck beach
mike and jane
We had only wonderful experiences with the team during our honeymoon. I would say a highly recommended agency!

Diana S
Paid for private tour to shipwreck bay and blue caves. Our tour guide was Takis. He was amazing with his information about the island, where he was born and has lived ever since. Got to Shipwreck Bay before the hoards arrived!!! Then went to the Blue Caves. Being in such a small boat we were able to go right inside, which was amazing. We then went to Zingia Beach, which is a natural sea spa, rich in sulphur and collagen. Be aware, it does smell!!! Lovely to swim in it and feel the hot and cold water. Would thoroughly recommend this Company. They were all very helpful in helping us to decide what to do
Mara and Lucila
We would like to thank you for the two day tours we had made.The program was perfect, the driver was extremely polite, explained very well every place. Also the boat captain was fantastic. We will recommend your company to all. Congratulations! Mara Stegun Lucila Figueiredo

I have visited Tsilivi many times over the past 14 years and thought that I had seen everything there was to see. That was until I went on Jackie’s tour along with 11 of my family. Jackie is an absolute delight and a wealth of knowledge. It was my birthday that day and she made it so special. I can’t wait to join her on other tours again next year. My whole family fell in love with the island and are looking forward to returning too. Don’t miss out on this tour.

Last month, my family went on a cruise that stopped on Zakynthos for a day. None of the cruise’s excursions on Zakynthos were especially appealing, and an independent tour we had booked ended up getting cancelled, so the day before we were supposed to arrive on Zakynthos, we got in touch with Nefis Travel to see if they had any tours available for the next day.
We corresponded with both Mariska and Jackie, who were so patient with us — we were concerned that the tour they had available was supposed to return to the port only one hour before our cruise ship was scheduled to depart, and we were worried about a delay that would cause us to miss that departure. With a few Nervous Nellies in our group, we hemmed and hawed about whether or not to do the tour; all the while, Mariska and Jackie patiently, politely, and thoroughly answered all of our questions (emailing with us late into the evening), and reassuring us that they’d worked with many cruise ship passengers in the past and knew how important it was to get back to the ship on time.
Finally, we decided to book the tour — VIP Zakynthos Highlights. We are so glad that we decided to book the tour; everything about it was wonderful — we saw so much more of the island than we expected we’d see in just a day, the stops and transfers to the speedboat were seamless, and most importantly, Jackie was an amazing guide — telling us stories and history, and even singing for us!! In a vacation full of highlights, our day on Zakynthos ranked amongst the best. And of course, we made it back to our cruise ship on time! We hope to make it back to Zakynthos and if we do, we will certainly book another tour with Nefis Travel!

In our honeymoon in Zante Greece, this company put together a VIP day just for me and catered for all my needs, the day went better than plan, our driver Takis was fabulous and showed us Zante and took us to places we would never normally see, our speedboat trip was great, never been on one before and in some places a bit scary lol but the captain look after us and made sure we were safe and happy, for lunch they had arranged a very special table in a lovely little restraint by the water xx our day was perfect from start to finish xx I can highly recommend this company for any trips you wish to go on xx we used them a couple of times on our honeymoon and will defiantly be using them again when we go back xxx

Good afternoon Jackie and all your lovely team, Sorry not to have written sooner, but as you know it is always hectic when you get home from a holiday. Firstly I hope you are feeling better. It was a shame that we did not get the chance to have a real chat. Hopefully next time. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at Nefis, what a wonderful team of people you all are.I cannot praise you all enough. Everything from the communication before our trip, the transportation, the venues and the amazing itineraries were all spot on. You helped to make our holiday even more spectacular. All of our drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and always had a smile on their faces and were great company. The trip around the island was such a memorable day for all of us, and a special thank you has to go to the wonderful Jo, who really went the extra mile to make sure our day was perfect. Please pass on our thanks and good wishes to her. I will be writing a review on trip advisor and I’m sure that we will be in contact with you again when we return to beautiful Zakynthos. Kind regards & Best wishes,

From the start, Jackie was extremely pleasant in communicating with me and reserving our private tour for 2 to the shipwreck, blue caves and Zante town. Even though we did not speak for months, as soon as we arrived to the airport, the kindest tour guide, Takis, was already there to greet us and pick us up to begin with our adventure! He was amazing at all times and shared with us many interesting details about different things and places on the island. We arrived and swam at Navagio Beach before the crowds, just as promised, and it was perfect to be alone in the beach taking in all the beauty! We had a great tour to the Blu Caves even with rough seas and Xigia Beach was an amazing experience with all the sulfur and collagen making the water really warm and cold at the same time. After our lovely meal, we decided to relax at Tsilivi beach instead of walking in the town and that was another awesome suggestion by Takis and Jackie. We were then taken to the airport for our flight back to Athens and we could not have been more thankful to the Nefis travel team for making this day magical and unforgettable.
Jess and Duane
A big thank you to Takis, our guide who took us out on 1st August. We had a lovely time. Thank you for our special day. Thank you for the beautiful wine. Jess and Duane

I recently booked a one day private trip for my girlfriend and I with Nefis. In advance of the holiday they helped with the booking via email and handled all questions very efficiently. On the day itself our guide, Spiros, was fantastic and gave great information about the island. Having a motorboat to ourselves was a great way to see the Shipwreck, the Blue Caves and the spa. I would recommend Nefis to anybody organising a trip in Zakynthos.
Nao
To Jackie and Takis,
I’m Nao from Japan. Few days ago, I participated in your private tour.It was very nice and we spent precious time thanks to you. This time we visited one part of Zakynthos, so I want to see much more. I have arrived at Japan, but I’m sure going to Zakynthos again, and will apply your tours. Thank you very much!See you in the future! Nao
