Zakynthos, also called Zante, is a tiny island with great beaches and gorgeous water. It’s most known for the massive shipwreck sitting on a white beach!
It was formerly part of the Venetian empire, so you’ll see Italian influences everywhere. Many of the oldest buildings on the island show Venetian influences.
Zakynthos Town
Zakynthos town isn’t much to look at - it was nearly leveled in an earthquake in the 1950’s, so the buildings are both new and not focused on aesthetics.
That being said, the advantage to being based in or near Zakynthos is that it’s the easiest home base if you don’t want to rent a car.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater!
I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where!
I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too!
If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you!
My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny.
I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
