The city’s amusement park Tivoli Friheden offers a range of fun and exciting attractions for all ages. Located outside the city centre, just a couple kilometres to its south, Tivoli Friheden enjoys a location amidst lush forest greenery. Please mind that opening hours may vary by week.

A nearly uninterrupted 14-kilometre stretch of sand extends from Geraki to Laganas, forming one of the last major nesting sites for the endangered loggerhead turtle. To protect the species, much of Laganas Bay is designated as a National Marine Park, where powered water sports are prohibited. Despite these conservation efforts, the resort of Laganas itself remains the island's largest and most bustling centre for nightlife, known for its concentration of pubs, bars, and clubs. For a quieter experience, a narrow wooden footbridge connects the coast near Agios Sostis Beach to the small and picturesque Cameo Island.

Navagio Beach is the defining landmark of Zakynthos. Located on the island's northwestern coast, its dramatic cove is known for the wreck of a freightliner that ran aground in 1983, an event which gave the beach its name — Navagio, Greek for 'shipwreck'. Before this maritime mishap, the beach was known as Agios Georgios. There are two ways to appreciate this miracle of nature. To swim in the turquoise waters and approach the rusty shell of MV Panagiotis, you must travel by boat. For a panoramic birds-eye view, travel by car to a viewing platform high up in the white cliffs.
