Zakynthos Trail

This stage is the longest crossing of the route, and it feels like a real journey across the island. Ridge paths and farm tracks connect one landscape to the next, always opening up wide views over the rolling hills and the sea beyond. The ascents come and go in gentle rhythm, before giving way to a long, steady descent that leads you toward the northern coast. Step by step, the blue horizon draws nearer, until you finally arrive in Alykanas. Here, a sandy bay and calm waters invite you to pause, cool off with a swim, and simply enjoy the slower pace of island life after a full day on the trail.

The final stage brings you full circle, following a mix of coastal promenades and quiet inland lanes back toward the island’s capital. The walk carries an easy, flowing rhythm, with the blue-green Ionian Sea never far from sight. As the kilometres pass, the horizon broadens and the sense of arrival grows stronger. Soon the harborfront of Zakynthos Town comes into view, a fitting end to your loop around the island. Here, among the boats and cafés, you can pause, celebrate, and let the journey settle in—four days of sea, hills, and villages now tied together in one complete adventure.

An additional night is included after the trail. Enjoy a slow morning coffee on the promenade, pick up souvenirs, and depart at ease from Zakynthos Town.
