Zakynthos - recent history

Zakynthos is well known as one of the favourite nesting sites during the summer months of the Loggerhead turtle Caretta Caretta. Turtles can easily be spotted if you visit the beaches where they lay their eggs during nesting time. The main town Zakynthos was destroyed in the earthquake of 1953 and since then the town has been rebuilt in a similar style of its former architecture. Today design and construction of buildings in the whole of Greece have to comply with European standards and there are stringent regulations regarding earthquake protection.

There is definitely something special about this idyllic island. Whether you come just to visit or to stay for good, the magic of Zakynthos will remain in your memory forever. The perfect place to rent a villa with a private pool.
