At this point you have a great view.
On the left you can see the Marathonisi and on the right Zakynthos with port.
Unfortunately, the port cannot be seen on the right in this photo.

Panagia Skopiotissa Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

One of the most impressive places on Zakynthos, high up below the Skopos lies this ancient church. The ruins all around bear witness to a moving history.

Viewpoint Below Mount Skopos Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this spot just below the summit of Mount Skopos, you get great views of the surrounding countryside, mountains, and out to the glittering blue waters of the Ionian Sea. This is a great place to pause and catch your breath before continuing on to the summit.

Panagia Skopiotissa Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

The last few meters have to be scrambled. Surefootedness and a head for heights are an advantage!

Byzantine Church of St. Nicholas

Highlight • Religious Site

Even though the roof structure, as well as the windows and doors, are completely missing from the building, the outer walls of the former church are surprisingly well preserved for a church ruin—or have presumably been carefully restored. It's not surprising that the church was once dedicated to Saint Nicholas: As the patron saint of sailors (among other things), his cult is very widespread along the Mediterranean coast.
