THROWBACK THURSDAY! 🇬🇷
Have you ever seen the Ionian Sea turn into a thousand shades of blue after a few windy days? 💙
One of the magical things about Zakynthos is what happens when the wind and waves stir up the fine white limestone sediment from the seabed. The tiny particles float through the water, creating those incredible milky turquoise colours that almost look too beautiful to be real! Nature really is the best artist! 🎨🌊

Who has experienced this beautiful phenomenon while exploring our island? And who has some amazing pictures to share with us? 📸
💙 And speaking of beautiful memories...

From today onwards, every Thursday will be Throwback Thursday at Nefis Travel!
After so many wonderful seasons, we have collected thousands of photographs, unforgettable moments, funny stories and memories that deserve to be shared again.

So every Thursday, we will take you on a little journey down memory lane. Back to the places we love, the adventures we shared and, most importantly, the wonderful people who made them so special.

Because even when the summer season is over, the memories keep our beautiful Zakynthos alive! 💙
Are you ready to travel back in time with us? 🇬🇷

🫒 KALO MINA! Καλό μήνα! 🇬🇷❤️
Happy November! Fijne maand allemaal!

Here in Greece, the first day of every month comes with a lovely little tradition. Wherever you go, you'll hear people greeting each other with “Kalo Mina”, which means “Have a good month!”

It's one of those Greek traditions I've always loved. A little wish for happiness, health, and good things in the month ahead.

And November? Well, for us, it's olive harvesting time! 🫒

People often ask us, “But what do you actually do during the winter months when the tourists have gone home?”

Haha, well, here's your answer! Picking olives!

Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday and, most of all, a happy, healthy, and beautiful November!

Kalo Mina from sunny Zakynthos!
Greetings Jackie and Pepo 🐕

28th October – OXI Day (The Day of “NO”)
Ζήτω η Ελλάδα! 🇬🇷
Today, Greece celebrates one of the most defining moments in its history.

On this day in 1940, Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas rejected Mussolini's ultimatum demanding that Italian troops be allowed to enter Greece. That historic “OXI!” (NO) became a symbol of courage, unity and a nation's determination to defend its freedom.
When Italian forces invaded from Albania, the Greek army fought back fiercely, eventually pushing the invaders back across the border. This Greek success was called the "first Axis setback of the entire war."

🇬🇷 And let us never forget the extraordinary Women of Pindus (Οι Γυναίκες της Πίνδου).
While soldiers fought in the mountains of northern Greece, these brave women climbed steep, dangerous paths through freezing temperatures, carrying food, blankets, and am******on to the front lines. Many also helped wounded soldiers reach safety. Ordinary women who showed extraordinary courage!

On 28 October, we honor that historic “NO” of 1940. On 25 March, we remember the beginning of the Greek War of Independence in 1821.

Something I have always found remarkable about Greece is that our two great national days celebrate not the end of a war, but the beginning of a struggle for freedom.
Both remind us that freedom begins with the courage to stand up, even when the odds seem impossible.

🇬🇷 Still on Zakynthos? Come and experience OXI Day!
Head into Zakynthos Town this morning and join the locals for this special national celebration!
Expect Greek flags, commemorative ceremonies and the traditional parade with local schoolchildren, Scouts, Guides and members of the security services.

📍 Zakynthos Town
🕦 Wednesday 28 October, 11:45 am
Arrive a little earlier to enjoy the atmosphere and experience a wonderful part of Greek culture and tradition!
Today, we honour all the men and women who stood together for Greece and its freedom.
Ζήτω η 28η Οκτωβρίου!

AND THAT’S A WRAP ON SUMMER 2026! 🇬🇷💙

The last buses are returning, the boats are heading back to harbour, the office doors are almost ready to close… and another Nefis summer is coming to an end.

And what a summer it has been!

From early-morning pickups and turquoise-blue adventures to turtles, hidden caves, village stories, Greek music, dancing, laughter, and more than a few sing-alongs on the bus 😁, we created thousands of little Nefis moments across Zakynthos together.

To our 2026 Nefis team, our guides, drivers, captains, sales and office crew, a huge Ευχαριστώ πολύ! 💙

A summer season on a Greek island is not always easy. It takes energy, flexibility, teamwork, and a whole lot of passion, and each of you played your part in making this season happen.

And to YOU, our wonderful guests…
Thank you for choosing Nefis Travel and allowing us to share our love for Zakynthos with you. Whether you joined us for the very first time or returned for another summer, every smile, every laugh, every conversation, and every moment we shared made this season special.

A heartfelt thank you for all your wonderful reviews, lovely messages, photos, and feedback throughout the summer. We read them, we appreciate them, and they truly mean more to us than you might realise. Your kind words make us incredibly proud of what we do, while your feedback helps us continue to learn, improve, and make the Nefis experience even better.

For now, it's almost time to swap our Nefis shirts for holiday clothes, recharge our batteries, and enjoy a little well-deserved rest! 😎

The curtain may be closing on Summer 2026, but behind it, ideas for 2027 are already beginning to bubble…

And believe us, we're already looking forward to another wonderful summer together! 💙

Kai tou chronou! 🇬🇷
Until next year, under the Zakynthian sun! ☀️

With love and gratitude,

Jackie & the Nefis Travel Zakynthos Team 💙

🐢💙 MEET BABIS THE TURTLE...
What a treat on this beautiful Sunday morning! ☀️

Today, I helped out with the transfer for our very last Eco-Friendly Turtle Spotting Tour of the season, and who did we meet in Agios Sostis Harbour? Babis the turtle! 🐢
And what a wonderful surprise he had in store for us! Just watch the video until the end 💙

After another incredible season working alongside ARCHELON the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, I couldn't have wished for a lovelier way to start our final turtle tour of 2026.

Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone! Mine has certainly started fantastically! 🐢💙🇬🇷
Greetings Jackie 🙋🏻‍♀️

💙 A LITTLE OCTOBER NOTE FROM US...
As the island becomes quieter, planning our excursions becomes a little more challenging. At this time of year, we depend on guest demand and, of course, the weather and sea conditions.
So, if you're visiting Zakynthos this October and would love to join one of our adventures, please try to book a little in advance. It really helps us plan ahead and gives us the opportunity to keep our tours running.

This is our planned programme until 20 October, but who knows? If the interest is there and the weather is kind to us, we might just be able to keep sharing our beautiful island with you a little longer!
After all, there's nothing we love more than showing you the Zakynthos that has captured our hearts.

💙 AND THAT’S A WRAP FOR ABOVE & BEYOND SHIPWRECK TOUR 2026! 🌊
Another season comes to an end for one of our much-loved Nefis experiences Above & Beyond.
And a tour like this is only as good as the people who bring it to life, so a HUGE round of applause for our wonderful guides Eva, Mia, Jenita, Oresti and Sophi. 👏💙
A big thank you as well to our amazing bus driver Mr Caesar, getting everyone safely around the north of the island, and of course our very own Captain Sparrow, showing our guests the spectacular coastline from the sea.
Because Above & Beyond is exactly what the name promises…
📍 Standing high above the famous Shipwreck, taking in that iconic view from the cliffs
📍 Heading out to sea to experience the Blue Caves and Shipwreck from below
📍 Swimming in beautiful hidden spots such as White Beach and Sfogio, away from the usual rush
📍 A visit to Xigia Sea Spa, where nature has created Zakynthos’ very own open-air spa
📍 And of course, those lovely little treats and tastings at Matina’s Road Market because a Nefis day always needs a little taste of Zakynthos too! 😉

All of this in a semi-private group of maximum 19 guests, combining the best of Zakynthos from land and sea.
But the biggest thank you goes to YOU , every guest who joined us this season and filled those minibuses and boats with laughter, stories, holiday spirit and some pretty unforgettable moments.

Were you one of our Above & Beyond guests this season? Share your favourite photo or video in the comments , we’d LOVE to see your memories! 📸🌊
Above & Beyond… that’s a wrap for 2026. BUT we still need some other tours to be wrapped up.. Stay tuned
