Zakynthos. Pop. 41,472. Also, known as Zante or “Fiore di Levante” (Flower of the East Wind). The 3rd largest of the Ionian Islands, located off the west coast of Greece. Zakynthos has a varied topography with mountainous terrain on the western coast and fertile plains in the south east. With a mild Mediterranean climate combined with regular winter rain Zakynthos is rich in agricultural products with olives, currants, grapes and citrus fruits leading the way. One of the highlights is the appearance of female loggerhead turtles, which come ashore to lay eggs in the south west of the island, at the beginning of June. Other attractions include, Shipwreck Bay, Cape Skinari, The Blue Cave and Argassi – the most popular beach resort on Zakynthos.

Zakynthos, also called Zante (its Italian name) and Zakinthos Greece, is the third largest island in the Ionian Sea. The island is named after Zacynthos, son of legendary Arcadian chief Dardanos. While Ios and Kos are associated with party, and Rhodes and Crete with families, Zakynthos is something between. The majority of all beaches, towns, etc. are located along the east coast, as the west coast is battered by strong winds.
