Zakynthos Hiking is a digital field guide for hiking and touring in the Zakynthos Island. It includes routes, descriptions and photos for 27 hiking trails, covering the whole Zakynthos Island. Each Adventure has a description, photos and a POIs list.

The application offers detailed off-line maps and a concise introduction on geography, geology, the history and the nature of Zakynthos Island. The app offers also a useful list of POIs with a comprehensive search engine.

The trails list includes easy walks, easy and moderate hiking trails of a total length of 116 km. Six of the trails are serially connected and can compiled to create a 3 to 6 days crossing of Zakynthos. This 49 km - long traverse is named The Zante Trail.
