ZAnTe
Zante deals a full hand of holiday cards family-friendly resorts, party hubs and quiet hideaways are all bound by one of the most breathtaking coastlines in the Med.
The Venetians once dubbed Zante or Zakynthos, as it's also known `The Flower of the orient' thanks to its lush countryside, and it's a nickname that still rings true today. olive groves, lemon trees and bougainvillea cover the whole island, peeking out from between rolling hills. But it's loggerhead turtles that really put Zante on the map the island is the most important nesting spot in the Med for them. if you're here between July and August, head to laganas Beach. Come sundown, it's your best bet for spotting the creatures. plus, its stretch of sand is one of the best on the island. Speaking of beaches, Zante's coastline is just as impressive as its interior. Sandy shores crinkle up into turquoise sea caves, and hidden coves and rugged cliffs offer up grandstand views of the ionian sunsets. one of the most popular is limnionas the caves here are great for diving. And we can't mention Zante's beaches without paying homage to Smuggler's Cove. overlooked by soaring cliffs, this sandy bay is one of the most beautiful in greece. Another part of Zante's appeal is the fact it caters for both lively and laid-back holidays. laganas is the place to go for the big clubs, while Tsilivi's streets are brimming with bars and pubs. head for the likes of Alykanas and Kalamaki, meanwhile, and you'll find soft sands and a peaceful, go-slow pace.
