A quick guide to Zakynthos
Zakynthos or Zante as it is also known is one of a cluster of Islands that lies in the southern part of the Ionian sea. It is the 3rd largest of the islands. It is also known as the flower of the east by the Venetians, or even the jewel in the Ionian sea and visitors who see the breathtakingly blue seas and surprising amount of greenery usually agree!
The landscape is full of verdant hills and slopes filled with olive groves. In the west the scenery is of imposing rock and to the north east and south west beautiful beaches with the warm Ionian sea lapping at its shoreline.
Zakynthos is 40km in length and 20 km
wide, the highest point is Vrachianas at 758m.
The airport Dionyses Solomas is just 3.5 km from the capital Zante
Town from where you can catch a ferry to Athens or other islands. Shopping
is delightful with a excellent selection of local products and of course
fresh fish. Sipping coffee in St. Marks square watching the world go
by is a must!
