Makris Gialos Beach
Μακρύς Γιαλός
A pebble cove on the north coast, with sea caves in the rocky shoreline. It is good for snorkelling, and boats also run from here to the Blue Caves.
Makris Gialos lies near Volimes in the north of the island. It is a small pebble cove embraced by rocks, with clear, deep water and small sea caves in the cliffs on either side of the bay, making it ideal for snorkelling. The beach has sunbed rentals and a small restaurant, and boats from the nearby pier head to the Blue Caves and Shipwreck Bay. It is about 35 km from Zakynthos Town and is often combined with Xigia and the Blue Caves on the same day.
