Villa Spotlights: Perfect Views At Bouka Villas In Zakynthos

We have discussed the wonderful Zakynthos Island (sometimes known by its Italian name Zante) on many occasions here because it has so much to offer the discerning tourist. One of the most beautiful among the Ionian Islands, it boasts incredible natural wonders and, in particular, some truly and remarkably stunning beaches. A place to indulge in free spa treatments with the special waters at Xigia, to see the magic of precious turtles being rescued and nurtured and returned to the sea, to visit the iconic shipwreck at Navagio Beach and go on a K-drama pilgrimage, to go diving and enjoy a vast array of water sports, to shop for unique ceramics, to hike and explore, and much more besides, Zakynthos offers magical experience after magical experience. If you are interested in indulging in the unique and wholesome atmosphere and activities and attractions of this gem of an island, you can browse our range of excellent villas in Zakynthos but if you are looking for an especially well-located gem that boasts incredible views over this stunning place, then you should check out our rentals at Bouka Villas.

Called the “Fiore di Levante”, or the “Flower of the East” by the Venetians, the southernmost Ionian island of Zakynthos (sometimes known by its Italian name of Zante) is famously fertile and beautiful and is a destination for those looking to party and beach lovers. In fact, it boasts lots of excellent beaches, including Lagana, Tsilivi, Argassi, Kalamaki, Alykes, and Navagio beach, with its famous shipwreck on the shore. However, beyond the package holidays and party towns, there are lots of little gems to uncover and lots of reasons to find a vacation rental in Zakynthos and get planning a visit asap.

One of those incredible gems is the beach of Xigia. Firstly, upon arrival, don’t be too put off by the smell! That sulphur scent that fills the air is not necessarily pleasant but it is only because of the large concentration of sulphur in the waters here, which makes them rather special, indeed. Not only are they the same impossibly beautiful turquoise hue that the other beaches on the island boast but they also have the added bonus of amazing therapeutic properties that come from the minerals in the sulphurous waters at Xigia.

The island of Zakynthos, in Greece, is synonymous with lazy days at an endless list of beyond picturesque beaches, bobbing on boats in impossibly blue waters, watching the sun set over the rocky and scenic coastline, riding into the waves on horseback, trying to spy turtles, and generally enjoying the landscape of this stunning island getaway in Greece. However, much as this paradise is ideal for those looking to slow down, relax, and unwind, it is also a landscape that is potentially home to some adventures, as well. If you browse our villas in Zakynthos and are planning a vacation in the area, therefore, fret not, there are things for the adrenaline-chasers in your party as well!

The Ionian Islands are considered by many to be a true slice of paradise on earth and it's not hard to see why. A group of six larger islands flanked by many smaller satellite islands hugging the West Coast of mainland Greece in the Ionian Sea, this is a land of unbelievably bright hues, stunning scenery, perfect beaches, and large areas that thankfully remain untouched by the intense developments and crowds of mass-tourism. While the island of Corfu was one of the first parts of Greece to begin attracting big tourist crowds, even this part of the Ionian Islands boasts substantial areas that remain unaffected by over-development and many other islands and destinations are very much off the beaten track and hidden gems. It is, however, the great natural beauty of this part of the world that most attracts the visitors who do choose to go for a villa in the Ionian Islands.

If you are looking for some of the most astoundingly lovely coastal towns, unbelievable natural attractions, lush emerald landscapes, turquoise seas, soft sandy white beaches, cloudless and endless cerulean skies, dramatic and gleaming creamy cliffs and rock formations and watercolour sunsets, in particular, then we highly recommend a villa in Zakynthos. With its famous sea caves and turtles, excellent diving and snorkelling, picturesque strands, and more it is, without a doubt, one of the destinations in Greece for those who worship sun and sea. While there are plenty of beaches, in particular, that are worth mentioning and visiting on the island, here is our guide to some of the best beaches to visit while on vacation in Zakynthos...

Much as the manmade can astound and delight travellers, nothing can really compare to the majesty, diversity, mystery, and beauty of nature. When you are exploring the world, great views, impressive rock formations, stunning beaches, majestic mountain peaks, lush pastures, towering forests, and other natural phenomena are usually high on the list of your things to see and do. Greece, in particular, is a place that boasts a diverse and utterly stunning landscape, full of wonderful gifts from nature and, if you have found a vacation rental in Zakynthos, then there is likely a particular sight that will rank high on the list of things to see and do for any tourist visiting the area: to spot the famous turtles of Marathonisi.

The appeal is understandable; these are utterly beautiful and astounding creatures and the opportunity to, perhaps, see them up-close is thrilling. However, this article is not the regular kind that you will find on this website. It will not detail the excitement of a particular attraction or day out but, rather, inform and suggest caution instead.

Zakynthos still has many charms but, after the last recession, it has struggled and mass development of tourist resorts is something that was turned to in desperation to help the flailing economy. The wondrous natural bounty of the island has, undeniably, suffered, as a result. Not least of all the community of loggerhead turtles that shelter on the eastern side of Zakynthos to mate and lay eggs. They are the only species of turtles that come to Greek waters and of the entire Mediterranean loggerhead population (which is estimated to only be in the low thousands), around 50-70% come to Zakynthos.

One of the most idyllic and utterly picturesque islands in all of Greece is Zakynthos. Home to some spectacular-looking scenery and picture-perfect beaches, this is a place to soak up the sun, frolic in the sea, forget daily life, relax, unwind, and enjoy the incredible beauty all around you. If you’re after a perfect Greek getaway for your next vacation then get browsing our incredible villas in Zakynthos and get planning your trip today.

While in Zakynthos, if you’re looking for a bit of a different outing, something special, and a magic memory to make with your party of travellers (whether they be friends, family, or a loved one), then you should consider an day out with Happy Horses Zakynthos. Ideal for anyone who wants to explore the island in a unique way, horse-lovers, those who have always wanted to go horse-riding but have never had the opportunity before, and those who want to inject a bit of magic into their holiday, this local stable takes tourists out on their friendly horses to see some of the countryside and right down to the beach and into the famously impossibly blue waters of Zakynthos. Catering to absolute beginners and more experienced riders alike, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never even touched a horse before in real life, you can still enjoy this extraordinary experience without needing to be nervous or concerned.
