Travellers and related activities
Zakynthos is also known for being the birthplace of two famous poets, our Ugo Foscolo and Dionysios Solomos, one of the greatest exponents of Greek literature. The island is characterised by a green nature and a rocky coast washed by a crystal clear sea. But there are also beautiful beaches, among which we recommend the famous beach of the Wreck, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, where in the 70s a cargo ship ran aground, the bay of Porto Limnionas, a stretch of rugged coastline with a small beach of rocks lapped by crystal clear waters, and the protected beach of Gerakas, which is part of the Marine Park of Laganas, because here go to lay eggs caretta caretta turtles.
The poet Homer was the first to mention the island of Zakynthos in the Iliad and Odyssey, stating that it was named Zakynthos after its colonizer, son of Dardanus and from Arcadia.

3. LouchaTo get to know the true soul of Zakynthos you have to go inland where there are villages that have not yet felt the effects of mass tourism. Among these we recommend Loucha, a village where it seems that time has stopped, among stone houses, fenced gardens and cobbled streets.
