Overview

Questions people type into Google

Q: Is Zakynthos a good honeymoon destination?

Yes-Zakynthos is ideal for a relaxed honeymoon: scenic beaches, sunset viewpoints, and boat days that feel special without complicated planning.

Q: Best honeymoon beaches in Zakynthos?

Vasilikos beaches like Gerakas and Dafni are favourites for scenery and calm. For easy repeat swims, Tsilivi Beach is perfect for a no-stress day.

Q: Best honeymoon sunsets in Zakynthos?

Keri Lighthouse area and Kambi viewpoint are classic. Bochali viewpoint is great for a town-evening sunset.

Now let's build a honeymoon plan that feels romantic, not rushed.

The honeymoon mindset

Plan less, enjoy more (and repeat your favourites)

A honeymoon is not the time to "collect" Zakynthos. It's the time to enjoy it.

Use three honeymoon rules:

  • One main plan per day.
  • Keep at least one morning completely free (no alarms).
  • Hidden coves paired with a private boat tour.

Tip: Tsilivi is a great honeymoon base because your day-to-day is effortless (beach + restaurants), and you can still do scenic sunset drives when you want.

If you want a comfortable choice in Tsilivi area, Zante Calinica Hotel & Suites is a strong option for this exact pace.

Romantic beaches to prioritise

Where to swim when you want calm + scenery

Vasilikos honeymoon favourites:

  • Gerakas Beach: wide sand and beautiful setting (follow any seasonal signage).
  • Dafni Beach: quieter, natural feel-great earlier in the day.
  • Porto Vromi (Anafonitria side): Quiet beach it almost feels hidden.

Easy honeymoon 'reset' beach:

  • Tsilivi Beach: ideal for a no-stress swim day between bigger trips or if you have a boat tour early in the morning.

Sunset shortlist

Pick 1-2 and make them your ritual

  • Keri Lighthouse area: classic honeymoon sunset.
  • Kambi viewpoint: dramatic cliffs and golden light.
  • Bochali viewpoint: perfect for a town-evening sunset with photos.
  • Porto Limnionas/ Porto Roxa: A perfect all day beach day that ends with a sunset.

Make sunsets feel special: arrive early, bring a light layer, and keep the evening plan simple.

Boat day ideas for honeymooners

Choose your style: calm, scenic, or private-feeling

Boat days are a honeymoon highlight because they feel different from beach days.

Choose the style that fits you:

  • Big cruise: easiest logistics and social energy.
  • Small-group tour: calmer feel, usually more romantic.
  • Private-boat experience: the most honeymoon-like option if it fits your budget.

Tip: We recommend small group tours or private boat tours & get it out of the way as soon as possible as it can get windy at some days.

A simple 5-day honeymoon plan

Day-by-day pacing (easy to copy)

Day 1: Arrive + Tsilivi Beach reset + Zakynthos Town evening (Bochali optional).

Day 2: Boat day (your headline day).

Day 3: Vasilikos beach day (Gerakas + Dafni).

Day 4: Slow morning + sunset viewpoint (Keri or Kambi).

Day 5: Repeat favourite beach + relaxed departure.

If you have 7 days, add:

  • One west-coast swim day (Porto Limnionas/Porto Roxa) when the sea is calm
  • One fully free day in Tsilivi (beach + long lunch + nap).

Tiny upgrades that feel special

Honeymoon add-ons (simple, not complicated)

  • Do one 'golden hour' plan: sunset viewpoint + long dinner.
  • Book one boat day that feels calmer (small group) if you can.
  • Choose one beach you love and return twice-it becomes "your beach" for the trip.
  • Ask your hotel team for practical timing tips (calmer beach options, boat-day planning, sunset planning).
