One of the advantages of staying in Zakynthos or Cyprus is how short the distances are between experiences. From each King Jason hotel in Cyprus and Greece, guests can easily combine several activities in a single day without spending hours upon hours of travelling. A day can begin and end at the hotel, while still including a variety of places in between. Here are three examples of how this can look.
A day near King Jason Protaras
Begin the morning with breakfast at the hotel before taking a short walk or cycling along the Protaras coastal promenade. The calm waters of Fig Tree Bay make it easy to enjoy an early swim or some light snorkelling. Continue towards Green Bay, where the clear water is well known for marine life and underwater sculptures. After a relaxed lunch back at the hotel or nearby, the afternoon can include a visit to Cape Greco National Forest Park for a short coastal hike or paddleboard session near Konnos Bay. Return to the hotel in time for sunset by the pool before dinner at one of the restaurants.
A day near King Jason Paphos
After breakfast, a scenic drive inland leads to the Paphos forest, where traditional villages such as Kathikas or Steni offer a glimpse of rural Cypriot life. Many guests combine this with a wine tasting at nearby Sterna winery, followed by lunch at a village taverna overlooking the vineyards. Returning towards the coast, there is time for a short walk along the Paphos harbour promenade or a swim at Coral Bay before heading back to the hotel. The evening can then unfold slowly with dinner, a glass of wine and views across the pools.
A day near King Jason Zante
Start the day at the hotel with breakfast before driving north to small fishing villages such as Agios Nikolaos or Skinari. From here, many visitors take a boat trip along the coastline, exploring sea caves and swimming in clear Ionian waters. After lunch in a seaside taverna, the afternoon might include a short stop at scenic coves like Porto Limnionas. As the day draws to a close, a sunset picnic near the cliffs of Kampi offers wide views across the sea before returning to the hotel for a relaxed evening.
Across Zakynthos, Paphos and Protaras, this balance of short distances and varied landscapes makes it easy to enjoy a full day without long journeys. Our hotels become your comfortable base, while the surrounding destinations remain close enough to explore at a gentle pace.
