Planos for watersports lovers

Planos is well known for its beautiful beaches (we could say that these are its main attraction), especially because you can do much more than just sunbathe or take a walk on the shores. Choose from various fun activities, including snorkelling and scuba diving. If you rent a villa in Kalamaki, ensure you make the trip to Planos to enjoy the beaches and get your adrenaline pumping scuba diving.

Planos for art lovers

Going to the beautiful beaches of Planos to soak up the Greek sun is not the only thing you can do in this tourist destination. If you are an art and culture lover, you can also have many options to add to your itinerary. Just a short drive from your villa in Planos, you can visit museums with very interesting exhibitions where you will learn what life was like there many years ago. You can also head to St. Mark's Square, which is just a few minutes away and is one of the most striking attractions for lovers of festive and cultural events. If you are visiting the islands in Greece and book a villa in Alykes, a trip to Planos is worth it for some little art.

1. Get into the culture in St. Mark's Square

This is one of the most famous squares of the island and is very loaded with historical facts. It has made it a very interesting point for tourists, especially because at various times of the year you can enjoy festivals and cultural events that take place there. It is also a good spot for visitors because there are many stores, bars and restaurants nearby.

2. Travel back in time at the Vertzagio Folklore Museum

18 minutes from your villa in Planos is Pigadakia, a town where you can find the famous Vertzagio Folklore Museum. It has been open to the public since 1998, with fascinating exhibits that will make you travel back in time to understand and learn about life on this island through domestic objects that have existed for over two centuries, photographic collections, tools and more.

3. Visit the Venetian Castle

Another place that will take you back in time is the Venetian Castle, located on the hill of Bohali. It was completed in 1646 A.D. and has the Winged Lion of St. Mark at the main entrance as a symbol of the Venetian empire. However, time and other factors (such as earthquakes) have caused the castle to be destroyed little by little, but it is still a good spot, and its appearance makes it more interesting. If you have a holiday rental in Zakynthos, you can visit Planos for some beautiful views of the Venetian castle.

4. Go to see the sea turtles

If you want some adventure, you can take an excursion to Agathonisi, a wonderful island home to the Caretta-Caretta sea turtles. Learn more about how the World Wildlife Fund has sought to protect them from extinction with the various special information they offer visitors. With a villa in Laganas, you can make the short trip to Planos before heading to Agathonisi.

5. Marvel at the Blue Caves

Within this trip, you can add a brief visit to the Blue Caves, also called the blue caves of Volimes. Going to this island will be an incredible experience where you will discover the best and most beautiful Greek nature. It is a bit far from your private villa in Planos, but it is a small tour worth doing.

6. Spend an afternoon surrounded by nature

If you are an animal lover, you should visit Monachus Seal National Marine Park. Here you will find different ecosystems, including beautiful beaches, huge rocks and lots of vegetation. You will see plenty of animals (which are protected by the park itself), such as birds, turtles, iguanas, rabbits and more. Visit the park from your holiday rental in Kalamaki and spend the day strolling around.

7. Watch the sunset at the Keri Lighthouse

Your great day visiting Planos can end perfectly at the Keri Lighthouse, a 9-meter-high lighthouse built in 1952. It became well-known by tourists for being the best place to see the sun setting into the sea. Visiting the Keri Lighthouse is the perfect way to spend your evening before heading back to your villa in Planos.
