We begin our day in Bochali, after all guests have been picked up from their resorts. Here you can enjoy excellent views of Zakynthos town.

Here we can see how the famous Zante olive oil is produced in winter.
Continuing northwest passing the mountain village of Kiliomeno and continuing through Agios Leon to the village of Anafonitria, here we will visit the famous monastery of Agios Dionysios (St. Dennis), the patron saint of the island. Agios Dionysios was known for his healing powers, forgiveness and compassion.
Continuing on to Exo Xora, where you will find what is believed to be the oldest olive tree on the island, said to be over 2000 years old. You will also have the opportunity to sample and purchase various local products. We will now head to the village of Kampi for a lunch stop with spectacular views of the cliffs and the amazing colors of the Ionian Sea.
