A comparison of ant fauna of Zakynthos with ant fauna of Samos islands is presented. Both islands have similar surface area (405.6 versus 476.4 km2) and are placed almost on the same latitude (37°) but represent the most western and the most eastern fauna complexes in Greece; 78 species and morphospecies were recorded from both islands but only 23 species are common. Key words: ants, Greece, East Aegean Islands, Samos, faunistics, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Zakynthos is a Greek island placed in the Ionian Sea. It is the third largest of the Ionian Islands, placed 13.5 km south of Kephalonia – the largest Ionian island, and 18 km west of the Peloponnese. It is also a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands Region. The area of the island is 405.55 km2 and it is 37 km long and 19 km wide. Its coastline is roughly 123 km. The island is very diverse, with a mountainous plateau on its western half, steep cliffs on southwest coast, and densely populated and fertile plain, with long sandy beaches and several isolated hills, on the eastern part.

  • Zakynthos, Ionian Islands
    A bit of crystal blue… Zakynthos Zakynthos is an island bursting with things to see, explore and enjoy - from the beautiful beaches, lovely traditional villages, picturesque mountain scenery, watersports, sights such as the Shipwreck and Venetian Castle and as if that wasn't enough there are also several interesting museums; an ideal way to learn more about this wonderful place and its distinguished residents. Zante Vacation Zakynthos is one of the Greek Ionian Islands located off the west coast of the Peloponnese. The island is one of the greenest and most beautiful in the archipelago and boasts some superb sandy beaches. It's the beaches of Zakynthos that make the island a magnet for the package holiday hordes that migrate here between Easter and October. The busiest seaside resorts rival those of Corfu in terms of their frantic nightlife and all-action beach scene. But if you venture further afield than the main resort areas you'll find some lovely secluded coves, dramatic mountain scenery and unspoilt inland villages. The island's mega resort is Laganas on the south coast where 14 kilometers of golden sand gently shelves into shallow water. The main beachfront is chock-a-block with bars, restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks and you'll find all manner of watersports and leisure facilities including ballooning and glass-bottomed boat rides. If you're after 24-hour partying, Brit bars, curries and quiz nights then this is the place for you. You may even find yourself swimming alongside the beautiful loggerhead sea turtles which use the soft sand of the south coast beaches as their nesting grounds.

  • 74 Steyrer Entomologenrunde 24 (1990); 74-77 ZAKYNTHOS
    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Steyrer Entomologenrunde Jahr/Year: 1990 Band/Volume: 0024 Autor(en)/Author(s): Kapfer Gerald Artikel/Article: ZAKYNTHOS - BLUME DER LEVANTE 74-77 © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 74 Steyrer Entomologenrunde 24 (1990); 74-77 ZAKYNTHOS - BLUME DER LEVANTE Gerald Kapfer, Steyr Zakynthos ist die südlichste Insel im Ionischen Meer und nur 10 Seemeilen von der Westküste des Peloponnes entfernt. Sie hat viele große Namen her- vorgebracht, wie den Nationaldichter Dionysos. Hauptstadt und Hafen ist Zakynthos. Am Hafen gibt es Cafes und Souvenirläden, aber die wirklich guten und billigen Tavernen sind im Inneren der alten Stadt, welche 1953 durch ein starkes Erdbeben fast völlig zerstört wurde. .Wir verlassen die Stadt und machen uns auf den Weg, die anderen Schön- heiten der Insel kennenzulernen. Keri, im äußersten Süden der Insel, ist wegen seiner Erdpechseen erwähnenswert. Da mich Fotomodelle wie Libellen, Frösche, Schildkröten (um nur einige zu nennen) faszinierten, wollte ich mit meinem Makroobjektiv vom "Limni Keriou"- Sumpf gar nicht mehr weiter, denn es bieten sich dort laufend verschiedene Lebewesen an, die als Statisten in der Szenerie auftreten. Blickt man hinaus auf das kleine vorgelagerte Inselchen Marathonisse, so sieht man im Hintergrund den kilometerlangen Sandstrand von Laganas, dort wo die Hotels immer mehr die Brutstätten der Seeschildkröte Caretta caretta gefährden. Zum Glück gibt es einige Studenten, die sich dieses Problems schützend annehmen. Aber man könnte noch mehr für die Sache tun, wenn an den betroffenen Plätzen ein Bau- und Liegeverbot ausgesprochen würde, da leider noch immer fleißig weitergebaut wird, und die Touristen ihre Sonnenschirme noch immer bedenkenlos in das Brutgebiet der Schild- kröten hineinrammen.

Conservation strategies are urgently needed for addressing the ongoing loss of plant diversity. The Mediterranean basin, and especially the Mediterranean islands, host numerous rare and threatened plants in need of urgent conservation actions. In this study, we assess the current conservation status of Micromeria browiczii, a local endemic to Zakynthos Island (Ionian Islands, Greece), and estimate its future risk of extinction by compiling and assessing scientific information on geographical distribution, population dynamics and repro- ductive biology. The population size and the geographical distribution of the species were monitored for five years. The current population of the species consists of 15 subpopulations. Considerable Citation: Valli, A.-T.; annual fluctuation of population size was detected. The species is assessed as Endangered according Chondrogiannis, C.; to the International Union for Conservation of Nature threat categories.

Funkcje i dysfunkcje turystyki na greckiej wyspie Zakynthos Tomasz Lidzbarski, [email protected] Uniwersytet Gdański, Wydział Filologiczny, Instytut Badań nad Kulturą Abstrakt Grecka wyspa Zakynthos jest miejscem potencjalnie zagrożonym rozwojem zjawiska overtourismu. W trakcie kilkunastu miesięcy badań terenowych oceniono, do jakiego stopnia, w okresie do października 2018 roku, przekroczono na wyspie granice chłonności turystycznej. Zdefiniowano również problemy w funkcjonowaniu lokalnego ruchu turystycznego, zebrano dane dotyczące stosunku mieszkańców Zakynthos do dalszego rozwoju turystyki, a także oszacowano ryzyko degradacji doświadczeń wypoczywających na wyspie turystów. Stwierdzono, że konieczne jest szybkie podjęcie działań mających na celu poprawę bieżącej sytuacji i uniknięcia zjawiska overtourismu. Walka z efektami nadmiernej koncentracji ruchu turystycznego nie musi oznaczać tu jednak ograniczenia liczby przybywających na wyspę turystów. Na Zante potrzeba kompleksowego planu odrodzenia turystyki, który – poza priorytetowym zwiększeniem wydajności dostępnej infrastruktury – zmierzałby do wykorzystywania w pełni fizycznych, ekologicznych i kulturowych walorów wyspy bez szkodzenia im. Szczególną szansą może być dążenie do rozwijania i promowania na Zakynthos form turystyki zrównoważonej i kwalifikowanej.
