Caves
- Name: Galazies Spilies

Description: The Famous Blue Caves, located
on the NE coast of Cape Schinari, rank among
the most beautiful caves in Greece. They
consist of a series of chambers, the Megali
and Mikri Spelia (Large and Small Cave).
The reflection and diffusion of sunlight
in the waters trigger a riot of color. Visitors
can go up to Agios Nikolaos by car (asphalted
road) and then continue by boat. Alternatively,
they can start out from the town of Zakynthos
by boat or caique.

Carnivals
- Name: Zakynthos's Carnival
- Description:
A herald goes around the island and announces
the carnival program in the traditional
way. During the whole carnival period, there
is a spirit of joy, with lots of dances,
parties, parades, people in fancy carnival
costumes etc. Theatrical companies, perform
in public the Speeches (omilies), which
are improvised sketches full of social comments
performed by men, wearing carnival costumes.
On both Sundays, the Parade of the King
Carnival goes around the island. The Carnival
festivities end up with the Funeral of the
Mask, (a parody of funeral). The corpse,
is the Carnival King, and many mourning
"relatives" follow the procession. The whole
spectacle is hilarious.
