Makrys Gialos

Makrys Gialos is a deep-water anchorage tucked into a natural cove on Zakynthos, making it a rare find on an island where shallow spots dominate. The pebble beach here has strikingly clear, green-tinted water, and the setting has the feel of a small, quietly forgotten coastal hamlet — once little more than a handful of old waterfront storehouses. Drop anchor and swim ashore; it's unhurried and genuinely pretty.
