Optional trip to Zakynthos Island

Olympic Beach - resorts - vacantions - Greece

Legends say that Zakynthos Island was preferred by Artemis and Apollo for its idyllic scenery, the beautiful sandy beaches, clear and blue shallow waters, the sea caves, magical sunsets and gentle climate. And you'll love the Zakynthos for the same reasons and also for the calm, welcoming environment, relaxed atmosphere and culture.

Zakynthos Island is famous for its wide and beautiful sandy beaches (Vassilokos, Laganas, Kalamaki Alykes and Tsilivi) and Caretta turtles - Caretta species are protected by law.

The island is rich in green vegetation especially on higher elevations, with olive groves, citrus and pine forests. The beaches are scattered in the north, south and east of the island, but the most beautiful and large ones are in the south, where there is a strong tourist center, which annually attracts visitors from England, Germany, and the rest of Europe. Many modern hotels offer quality services and diverse entertainment options that await tourists from May until October for the strong sun and mild climate. Zakynthos is a destination with an extended summer season!

Abastra Cave, the bays, the beach-wreck of a ship (Navaggio) is a representative image of the island

around the world and one of the most visited tourist spots. You can choose to relax at the beach and swimm in the crystalline waters of the sea, dive or go for a cruise around the island, go mountaineering or just relax in the quiet atmosphere here.

Zakynthos is the southernmost and third largest of the Ionian islands, situated in the western Peloponnese (Corfu, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Kythira, Lefkada, Zakynthos). Situated 300 kilometers west of Athens, the island offers tourists the possibility to easily visit other islands of the Ionian Sea..

The climate is mild Mediterranean, with heavy rainfall, and sunny in winter. The vegetation is rich, always green, which justifies the name "Fior di Levante", and olives, citrus and grapes are in high demand.

Turned into a crossroads for different peoples and cultures over the centuries, Zakynthos is remarkably given the nature of care. Large areas of the island remained unchanged in order to protect and preserve the marine fauna, which includes the famous Caretta turtle . The Greek government created the National Marine Park to protect the rare species of turtles in Laganas Bay.

Settlements and tourism facilities are in perfect harmony with nature. Each traveler can enjoy modern comforts and services in a natural and civilized environment.

The beaches are for all tastes: densly populated or hidden and intimate, with golden sand and small white pebbles, some wide, others more narrow, surrounded by mountains, rocky coasts, islands scattered in turquoise waters, picturesque bays, rich forests, hidden caves and cliffs that rise more austere air smell good and strong from the sea lilies that grow in the near the beaches.
