Zakynthos Island

General Information

Zakynthos [ˈzakinθos], also known as Zante, is the third largest (after Corfu and Cephalonia) and the 2 southernmost of the six main Ionian Sea islands. It covers an area of 406 km (158 sq. mi) and its coastline is roughly 123 km (76 mi) in length. The capital is the town of Zakynthos, having the same name as the prefecture. Apart from the official name it is also called Chora (i.e. the Town, a common denomination in Greece when the name of the island itself is the same as the name of the principal town). According to the 2001 census, the island has a population of 38,957. The island’s port is also located in Zakynthos town.

Geography Zante is a verdant island endowed with fertile valleys and a temperate climate. Its landscape diversity has resulted in different types of beaches: there are sandy beaches in secluded coves where the tranquil waters are deep blue on the island’s southeastern part; yet, if rugged cliffs and an interesting underwater world are to your liking, try the western part of the island.

History The Venetians, who ruled Zakynthos from 1484 to 1797, called the island “Fioro di Levante” (flower of the East) as there are over 7,000 species of flowers on the island. The island is named after Jakynthos who is said to have been the island’s first inhabitant. He was the son of Dardanos, ruler of the ancient kingdom of Frigia. The ancient acropolis was attributed to him. A Venetian fort was built at later times on the site.

The Venetian architectural influence has left its stamp on Zante despite the damage sustained due to the seismic activity in the area. After the ravaging 1953 earthquake and the ensuing fire, a number of historical buildings and churches burned to the ground. Consequently, the significant treasures these buildings were housing perished. The town was rebuilt according to a plan where strict anti-seismic specifications applied and, to a large extent, respecting the town’s former architectural structure.

Culture

Events Zakynthos is famous for its cultural life. Some of the famous cultural events include:

 Carnival: A traditional town crier goes around the island proclaiming the program of the Carnival festivities. On the last Sunday of the Carnival is the procession of the Carnival King. The festivities end with the “Mask Funeral”.

 Litany and artistic events in the memory of Aghios Dionysios on August 24th and December 17th.

 Easter: The Holy Week in Zakynthos has its own character with ancient customs and an exceptional rite as far as the religious ceremonies are concerned. The celebration of Holy Week on Zakynthos Island is considered to be unique and unforgettable both for locals and visitors to the island. At noon, on Good Friday, crowds of worshippers take part in the procession of the Crucified through the town. In the early hours of Holy Saturday morning and starting from the Aghios Nikolaos (St Nicolas) cathedral, the epitaph procession takes place in accordance with the local ancient custom, while the bishop announces the Resurrection at sunrise. At the first chime of the bell, the Bishop lets white doves free while from the bell tower clay vessels are thrown onto the road just as is done by all the inhabitants of the island out of their windows.

 Religious countryside festivals (paniyíria) in multiple spots of the island, usually taken place during summer period. Cuisine Numerous restaurants and taverns offer a wide selection of dishes from fusion to traditional Zakynthian cuisine whether you sit on the seaside or having a panoramic view over a cliff.

Sights & Activities

On Foot Zakynthos town is at the same time the island port. Despite of the fact that it suffered significant damage after the 1953 earthquakes, it preserves many of the magnificent elements of the past. Take a tour around the city and visit:

Island Cruises

Marathonissi & Keri Caves Don’t miss cruising to Marathonissi (also known as Turtle Island), an islet located just a few paddles from Keri Beach. Turquoise beaches and tropical vegetation are the material this small paradise is made of. Hire a boat, a canoe, or join an organized cruise from Keri Beach. You should also include Keri Caves in the same cruise: Unique monuments of nature such as caves and spectacular rocky arches dive into the Ionian Sea blue.

Navagio Beach (Shipwreck or Smuggler’s Wreck) Probably the most photographed site on the island; has become the emblem of Zante over the last few years. Deep turquoise waters, white sand garnished with a smuggler’s ship wreck made this beach the very don’t- miss spot of Zakynthos – just don’t miss it. Daily cruises from multiple points on the island (port of Aghios Nikolaos Volimon, Anafonitria, Porto Vromi, Schinari).

Ghalazies Spilies (Blue Caves) The famous blue caves are some of the most beautiful in Greece, located in the NE coast of Schinari peninsula. The reflection and diffusion of sunlight on the waters trigger a riot of color. Visitors can go up to Aghios Nikolaos by car (asphalted road) and then continue by boat.

Strophades (Strofadia) Two small and isolated islands emerging from the waters of the Ionian Sea at 45 km SW of Zante and 78 km to the west of cape Katakolo of the Peloponnese. During the ancient times they were known as “Plota Nisia” (floating islands), because it really looks as if they were floating. The bigger of the two is known as Stamfani, while the smaller one is Arpyia (Arpina). A ledge links the two islets together. In Arpyia you will find the majestic monastery of Metamorfosi (13th century) surrounded by high walls. The patron-saint of Zante Aghios Dionysios lived here.

To Zante.

Fair isle, that from the fairest of all flowers Thy gentlest of all gentle names dost take, How many mem’ries of what radiant hours At sight of thee and thine at once awake! How many scenes of what departed bliss! How many thoughts of what entombéd hopes! How many visions of a maiden that is No more no more upon thy verdant slopes! No more! alas, that magical sad sound Transforming all! Thy charms shall please no more Thy memory no more! Accursed ground Henceforth I hold thy flower-enamelled shore, O, hyacinthine isle! O, purple Zante! Isola d’oro! Fior di Levante!

Edgar Allan Poe
