Do & See
The majority of visitors to Zakynthos are attracted by the vast selection of dazzling beaches that the island has to offer. However, you shouldn't forget to explore the island's museums, architectural masterpieces and ancient ruins. Covered in lush Mediterranean vegetation, the area that stretches along the southern coast from the promontory of Marathia’s Cape to the beach of Gerakas has been designated as a National Marine Park, housing many endangered species and several walking trails.
