Dafni Beach

After passing lush, dense vegetation you will suddenly see to your right hand side one of the most spectacular views ever! As you begin the journey down to Dafni beach you will see the lush island of Pelouzo, golden sands and rocks scattered in the sea along the the coastline in the crystal blue waters - Dafni certainly is a heavenly beach!
Sun loungers and umbrellas are available and situated by the tavernas near the beach as it is forbidden to use umbrellas here as the beach is one of the most important nesting grounds of the sea turtle Caretta Caretta. Dafni is protected by the National Marine Park of Zakynthos and on the beach you will see some handmade wooden structures that signal the presence of turtle nests. Stretch out under the sun and enjoy your days swimming, if you prefer natural shade walk to your left, pass the tavernas and head towards the rocks, it is here that you can find some shade beneath the protruding rocks or can even discover some nooks and crannies in the base of the rocks if you dare to relax here! This area of the beach is for sure more isolated and you may even feel like a castaway on a deserted island!
 If you have a snorkel with you use it! You can not stay on the beach after sunset but you can make yourself comfortable in one of the tavernas and stay till late, this we would recommend you do on a moonlit night where the evenings are magical.
