Hiking in Center and Northern Zakynthos
Hiking in Center and
Northern Zakynthos
The landscape in western Zakynthos is marked by a smooth mountain ridge, reaching 757 m on Vrachionas peak. Western slopes are very steep, ending to inaccessible coves, while eastern slopes are smoother, dominating the main Zakynthos plain. Because of the dense road network, only a few trails are left in the area.
From the hikes proposed below, the two paths leading to the Spiliotissa cave and the deserted monastery Agios Andreas in Volimes, respectively, are of greater interest.
On the other hand, the trail from Exo Chora to the Mycenaean tombs in Kampi combines archaeological interest with excellent views of the Ionian Sea.
Finally, we suggest a crossing of the desolation area along the northwest tip of the island. This trail, passing by to the new Schinari lighthouse and ending to the old ruined one, crosses through the very small village Klima and gives the opportunity to join with an unknown rural Zakynthos.
