Zante, Zakynthos travel guide

Hello everybody,I decided to make this blog so that I can show my island ( Zakynthos or Zante) to the whole world! What can somebody say for the place he was born, lives and loves? It seems more like a composition with a subject my town. My town, island to be accurate is like a heaven to earth!

Zakynthos, sometimes called Zante in English, the third largest of the Ionian Islands in the southwest of Greece, covers an area of 410 km² (158 sq mi) and its coastline is roughly 123 km (76 mi) in length. The island is named after Zakynthos, the son of a legendary Arcadian chief Dardanus. Homer calls it ‘Iliessa’, which means forested.

A wonderful combination of green and blue follows the island and steals your heart forever!

Zakynthos is the elite of Sun, that chose this unique island to give us generously its gifts! From May till October it hardly ever rains, while the temperature is kept at an average of 35 Celsius degrees!

What are the words that come to your mind right now?

I would think of beach, swimming, sunbathing, cold beers or cocktails, nice food, love under the moonlight, amazing sunsets with my girl and whatever you can add….

Zakynthos is here to offer you all the above including anything else you might have thought of!

Stay tuned to this blog, as I am collecting all the information you may need about accommodation, hotels, restaurants, nightlife, beaches, sightseeing, photos, travel tools and more…

Could somebody know Zakynthos better than a Zakynthian?
