The island's famous beach Navagio, with its iconic shipwreck and turquoise waters, is a must-visit, as are the enchanting Blue Caves, where you can immerse yourself (quite literally) in the island's maritime beauty with snorkeling and diving adventures. Wander through Zakynthos Town's charming streets, stopping off at Solomos Square, named after Greece's national poet Dionysios Solomos, and the Byzantine Museum to explore the island's artistic and historical treasures. When you've worked up a sufficient hunger, find a table at a taverna to try savory Greek cuisine such as moussaka and souvlaki. Don't miss out on local specialties like `skordostoumbi,` a garlic-infused pasta dish, or `bourekia,` delectable pastries filled with cheese or meat, and `ladotyri,` a unique cheese matured in olive oil. Local wines such as Verdea and Avgoustiatis, perfect for wine enthusiasts.
