Who else has this dilemma? #travel #greece #neverunpacking
0Zakynthos, also known as Zante, is one of Greece’s most beautiful islands. Here are some fun facts about it:
1. Navagio Beach: One of the most famous beaches in the world, Navagio Beach (or Shipwreck Beach), is located in Zakynthos. It’s particularly known for the shipwrecked “Panagiotis” that lies in its sandy shores.
2. Loggerhead Turtles: Zakynthos is one of the prime nesting grounds for the endangered Loggerhead sea turtles. The National Marine Park of Zakynthos was established to protect these creatures.
3. Blue Caves: The Blue Caves, located at Cape Skinari, are renowned for the mesmerizing blue waters that shimmer under the sunlight, offering a magical view.
4. Zante Currants: Contrary to what one might think, Zante currants (a type of small, sweet, dried grape) are not from Zakynthos. However, the name comes from the once-major export of these currants from the island.
5. Earthquakes: Zakynthos, like many parts of Greece, is earthquake-prone. A significant quake in 1953 destroyed much of the island’s historical architecture.
6. Venetian Influence: Zakynthos was under Venetian rule for several centuries, and as a result, has significant Venetian architectural influences. This is also why it’s sometimes referred to as “Fiore di Levante” or “Flower of the East”.
