Dafni Beach - Zakynthos Greece
Dafni beach is located in the south of Zante, in the area of Vassilikos.
The beaches in this area belong to the Zakynthos Marine Park, which
protects the wildlife in the vicinity. This beach is a long, wide, sandy
beach that is breathtakingly beautiful with splendid views across the
gulf of Laganas.
The famous and unfortunately endangered Caretta Caretta
turtles nest their eggs here, which is why the beach is protected and at
times some parts of the beach may be off limits to the public to protect
the turtle's nests (which are also caged to prevent damage) and no
visitors are allowed on this beach at night.
There are a couple of
Tavernas on this beach but no watersports are available so as not to
disturb the habitat of the turtles.
This beach has a special designated
parking area, as no cars are allowed directly on the beach so a free
mini bus service takes visitors to the entry point of the beach - which
has a barrier to prevent cars.
A beautiful uncrowded beach, well worth
visiting.
