A Nature-Lover’s Paradise

It’s time to go beyond just reading about exotic places out of a book or gazing at pictures in a glossy travel magazine. The Greek island of Zakynthos awaits you, with its natural wonders and rich cultural heritage!If you love the beauty of nature, as it is, then Zakynthos, or Zante as it is also called, will be paradise for you. It was nicknamed Flower of the East by the Venetians because of its exquisite scenery. One of the most popular landmarks is the Navagio Beach, or Shipwreck Bay, named after the ship MV Panagiotis that sunk here in 1980. You can find the remains of the ship here as well. There is breathtaking scenery to be enjoyed here, as the waters are as clear and blue as the sky, while the rock formations have been lovingly carved by nature itself. A small village named Anafonitiria is close to the Navagio Bay, where you can witness the traditional, simple ways of the people. Zante’s villages have strong traditional values and are close to their culture, celebrating them with regular local festivals and activities. Artistic expression is encouraged through music and art. The island even hosts an annual Jazz Festival, which has begun to get critical acclaim throughout Europe. 

If you have family with you, then the Alykes Beach would be ideal. It has warm shallow waters and the sandy beach stretches for miles. Considered one of the best beaches, it has a quaint atmosphere, with several taverns, bars, and shops to keep your family entertained. Jeep safaris, tours and other excursions to guide you around the island are available. The travel tours will take you away from the crowds onto extraordinary sight-seeing journeys, while imparting a lesson in history.Looking for some nightlife by the sea? Agios Nikolaos is a happening beach, with a growing number of resorts opening up. Akrotiri and Argasi are famous for their nightlife. There are a great number of bars in Zante. The most popular beers are Greek Mythos and Alfa. Local village wines are strong but must be tried at least once.
