Zakynthos 🤩
What is interesting about it and why should you visit?
Zakynthos is one of the most exotic Greek islands. Sitting in the heart of the mesmerizing Ionian sea, it boasts a wonderful natural landscape and magical Zakynthos beaches. Exploring Zakynthos, you’ll discover picturesque hilltop villages, traditional monasteries, and dreamy natural landscapes. What’s more, the exotic Zakynthos beaches are home to the endangered sea turtle species Caretta-Caretta, which every year hide their eggs in the fine white sand of Zakynthos beaches. The trademark of Zante, as the island is known in Italian, is the scenic Navagio (Shipwreck) beach. Many pictures and postcards have tried to capture its beauty, but the reality is far better! Only accessible by boat, Navagio beach has magical turquoise waters, white sand and is backed by dramatic towering cliffs. While the view from above is simply breathtaking, you should also experience a dip in its enticingly clear water.
Apart from Shipwreck beach, though, there are many wonderful Zakynthos
beaches you should visit, such as Laganas Zante, Gerakas beach,
Vasilikos beach, and Spiantza beach. Some of these beaches are where the
endangered Caretta-caretta sea turtles lay their eggs every spring and
summer. You might be lucky enough to see them getting out of the sea to
hide their eggs under the sand, but you should by no means disturb them!
After exploring the emerald bays of the island, take a break from the
beach life to visit Zakynthos Town, the capital of Zakynthos. Strongly
influenced by the Venetians, who had also named the island “Fiore di
Levante” (flower of the east), Zakynthos Town has many hidden gems to
explore! Saint Mark Square, the Venetian Castle, Solomos Square and the
Post-Byzantine Museum of Zante are some of the best places to visit in
Zakynthos Town. Once you leave the south behind, however, and set off to
explore the rest of the island, you'll discover a different place
altogether. It's one where plenty of forested wilderness and traditional
rural villages remain, but it’s the spectacular scenery of the rugged
west coast, where mighty limestone cliffs plummet down to unreal
turquoise waters, that’s the true highlight.
