Caves
- Name:
Galazies Spilies
Location: Volimes
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.
