    Hiking

    Above Zakynthos is the small town of Bochali with a ruined castle. Quite spacious, very nice to walk and explore. Very pleasant due to the many trees even in the heat. Great view over the city.
    Note opening hours!!!
    9.30 a.m. - 3.30 p.m
    Tuesday and Sunday closed.

    Hiking

    The ruins of the Venetian castle tower over the hill of Bohali, about 2 km above Zakynthos town.

    It was built in the 15th century
    (approx. 1480) by the Venetians on the remains of an ancient acropolis. Above the main entrance, the winged Lion of Saint Mark, the symbol of Venice, still stands today.


    The complex offers one of the
    most spectacular panoramic views over the island's capital and the Ionian Sea.

    Hiking

    Correct,
    the opening hours have changed again:
    Wednesday-Sunday 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
    It is very pleasant there, however, and worth it. And it is so steeped in history that it is surprising. Before the Venetians, there were Romans, Brits, Italians, Germans and Brits again, what more could you want?
    Acropolis to prison to bunkers and trenches.
