Learn more about hotels in Zakynthos

Zakynthos, the third largest of the Ionian Islands, has a legacy as deep and vast as the surrounding seas. The island's name traces back to pre-Mycenaean times, and it is steeped in Greek mythology and ancient history, from participating in the Trojan War to forming alliances with Athens. It has seen rule by the Venetians, the Ottomans, Romans, French, British, and finally became part of Greece in 1864 – each phase leaving its mark on the island’s cultural tapestry.

The infamous earthquake of 1953 largely redefined Zakynthos' architecture, yet its natural beauty remains unscathed. The island's landscapes are rich with olive trees and citrus fruit orchards, while its unspoilt beaches are home to the first National Marine Park and vital nesting grounds for the loggerhead sea turtles. With the capital also named Zakynthos, known locally as Chora, the island piques your curiosity from every angle. Discover a world that proudly bears the moniker “the Flower of the Levant” and offers ample tales of human courage, like that unforgettable time during Axis occupation when Zakynthos hid its Jewish community, saving them from a ghastly fate.
