Located off the Mediterranean coast and part of the Ionian islands, Zakynthos is widely known for its outrageous turquoise waters, rocky bluffs, lush pine, and olive tree landscape, and one of the most famous beaches in the world. For years, Zakynthos was known as a popular British destination for late-night revelers.
Now, with the addition of new luxury hotels and seafront culinary options, it is experiencing a renaissance of luxury. While the beach town of Laganas is still filled with noisy cocktail bars for late-night parties, the rest of the island is tucked into a bohemian escape. Zante town in Zakynthos On my first visit to Zakynthos, I was immediately captivated by the tranquility of the mild climate, the gentle breezes that are not as strong as in the Cyclades, and the crystal-clear waters.
The beaches, with their natural beauty, are a haven of peace. Around every corner, there are dramatic caves, coves, and nesting grounds for the island's loggerhead sea turtle population in the southern part of the island. Zakynthos is easily reached via an international airport and is beginning to attract a new wave of tourists.
The island has become a culinary destination with fine dining options and Michelin-quality restaurants opening. Many of the most popular restaurants are family-owned and very special, using organic farm produce. With stunning new luxury.
