An island of contrasts, with dramatic cliffs and verdant vineyards
Zakynthos is one of the larger Ionian islands, home to an exotic mix of wildlife and ancient history. Once considered the jewel of the Venetian empire, this fertile land is a place of emerald meadows, and chalky white cliffs and beaches. Explore the shipwreck at Navagio, climb to a spectacular clifftop sunset, and find respite in the peaceful mountain monasteries. Zakynthos’ clear waters are also a resting spot for the endangered Loggerhead turtles, which can be observed here in their natural breeding grounds.
