Travel link Zante holiday and wedding destination

Greek, Zakynthos. Latin, Zacynthus.
The most southern island in the Ionian group, Zakynthos, also known as Zante, ranges from mountainous
landscapes in the north to gentle hills and flat countryside in the south. Green valleys, lush picturesque
countryside and golden sandy beaches fringed with crystal clear waters, entice holiday makers year after year.
Zante has been colourfully billed as 'the green island of poetry, song and love', mainly because it was the home of
Dionysios Solomos, who wrote the Greek national anthem, 'The hymn to liberty'.
Zante town is reminiscent of Venice with its historic St Mark's Square and Solomos Square, lined by reconstructed
neo-classical buildings. The picturesque town curves around a bay dominated by a Venetian Fortress and the
St Dennis Cathedral.
On this island everything is different, the musical stories sang at the tavernas, the historic wineries,
the stalactite & the blue caves, the sight of the 'ship wreck' sunk in the sand now, the cave of St. Damian...
