The shipwreck is the first image that comes to mind the moment someone mentions Zakynthos, but then a sequence of superb images unravel in front of you, of untamed mountainous landscapes of immense natural beauty, and beaches conjured up only in dreams, embracing you with their blue-green sparkling clean waters, making you feel as if you want to stay forever.
From another point of view, the Zakynthians, with their impassioned fiery temperament, beautify the island all the more, making you feel welcome every moment of your stay. Most recently, efforts are being made to also develop agro-tourism on the island, with interesting and alternative proposals, giving the visitor the possibility to discover the mountainous regions and the charming, picturesque villages of Zakynthos, thus promoting tourism throughout the whole year and not only during the summer period.
A day cruise around the island is one thing that must not be missed from your trip here, since it will give you the chance to admire the enchanting landscapes and to swim in areas accessible only from the sea.
The southern part of the island comprises of a sanctuary-refuge for the endangered species of sea turtles, Caretta caretta, as well as to the Mediterranean seal, Monachus monachus, exhibiting in this manner, the great environmental interest it holds.
