Zakynthos is a verdant island privileged with fertile valleys and a temperate climate. Its landscape diversity has resulted in different types of beaches: there are sandy beaches in secluded coves where the tranquil waters are deep blue on the island’s southeastern part; yet, if rocky beaches are to your liking you can find it too at the western part of the island. The Venetians called Zante Fiore di Levante, the Flower of the East, and its nobility and fertility made it the jewel of their empire. Today’s visitors to the southernmost Ionian Island would agree that the vast diversity of its beaches, sea turtles and a party atmosphere make Zante – or Zakynthos as the island is known in Greek – a favorite holiday destination.
Looking for lifelong memories? You’ll find them when you swim at the famous Shipwreck Beach, watch the sunset from the cliffs of Keri, visit the traditional villages, cruise around the island with your private boat, enjoy the sandy beaches of the southern part of the island, listen to the islanders sing their cantadas, party with your friends and see the endangered Caretta Caretta sea turtles lay their eggs in the island’s white sands. That’s some of the many activities you can enjoy here. Welcome to your holidays in Zante, the Ionian island that has it all.
