Introducing Zakynthos
Ask a seasoned Greek traveller or a local and they will probably tell you Zakynthos is the most beautiful island in the Ionion Sea. The waters are intensely blue in colour, impossibly white sand comes as standard, and magical coves dot the coastline. It’s quite simply paradise. With a main harbour city of Zakynthos Town and well known resort beaches such as Agios Nikolaos, Alykanas and Tsilivi, there’s much to do for families or couples in search of sun, sea, sand and luxury.
