Potamitis Diving Spot
Tucked into the rocky coastline near Cape Skinari at the northern tip of Zakynthos, Potamitis is one of the island's best-kept secrets for advanced snorkeling. The water is exceptionally clear and deep, with rocky underwater formations and marine life that draw confident swimmers from across the island.
Above the water the views are just as spectacular — sweeping panoramas of the open Ionian and the rugged cliffs that frame the cape. Free sunbeds line the rocky platform, so you can stretch out and enjoy the scenery between swims without paying a cent.
Entry to the water is from the rocks rather than a sandy beach, so it suits confident swimmers and snorkelers. Bring water shoes and a mask, and combine it with a morning trip to the Blue Caves or the Navagio viewpoint for a perfect day in the north.
Villa Zoi Local Tip
Go in the morning for calm water and the best underwater visibility. Bring water shoes — the entry is over rocks — and a mask if you have one. The free sunbeds make it easy to spend hours here.
