The green island of music, poetry, and hospitality

Zakynthos is a green island, thanks to the luxuriant plantation it has, which is due to the rain, very common in winter. Homer in “Odyssey” calls the island “woody” and Venetians referred to it with the poetic name “Fioro di Levante”.

Due to the abundant water and the luxuriant plantation, the climate is mild; summers are rather cool, mainly after sunset and winters not extremely cold. The sea is pretty warm, a quite favorable factor, both for tourism and the reproduction of the sea turtle caretta-caretta and the seal monachus-monachus.

The island is really a place blessed by God, with a marvelous natural environment and very important monuments.
