The western part of the island is mostly mountainous with steep cliffs along the coastline.

The main bays, of the island are Laganas, in the south, which has a superb sandy beach that stretches for 9 km, Tsilivi, Alykes and Schiza. Southeast of Zakynthos is where the Mediterranean sea achieves its maximum depth, approximately 4500 meters (more than 2,5 miles).
