In the late afternoon, we travel by a luxury mini bus on our Zante sunset tour, through a scenic route which as we make our way to the Wine estate Gramsas, known for its authenticity and great Zakynthian hospitality. At this picturesque wine estate you will be able to taste the best traditional wines of Zakynthos and hear about Zakynthian traditions of winery. Zakynthos wine tasting is an adventure in itself that will deepen appreciation for both wines and winemakers.
Having tasted the very best of local Zante produce, we will return to the minibus and drive on our Zakynthos sunset tour to the village of Lagopodo. We will step back in time at the Panagia Eleftherotria, a beautiful brick-red and whitewashed monastery with one of the most picturesque stunning panoramic views over the village. From this viewpoint, you’ll catch glimpses of the surrounding olive groves and the bay of Lagana across the deep blue waters of the Ionian Sea.
As soon as the door opens we are welcomed and charmed by an uplifting community of Orthodox nuns. Who will introduce us to their way of living and show us some fantastic frescoes, icons and magnificent items of the holy land, all framed with stories from the past. This enchanting monastery has a beautiful garden with potted plants and a flower bed that invites us to visit. There are some gorgeous golden mosaics in the arch ways and a gift shop that sells items that are hand made by the nuns.
We will drive direction south of the island and see mesmerizing Zakynthian villages with sweeping country along the way.
