The mild, Mediterranean climate and the plentiful winter rainfall endow the island with dense vegetation. The principal products are olive oil, currants, grapes and citrus fruit. The capital, which has the same name as the prefecture, is the town of Zakynthos; apart from the official name, it is also called Chora (i.e. the Town, a common denomination in Greece when the name of the island itself is the same as the name of the principal town). According to the 2001 census, the island has a population of 38,957. The most famous Zakynthian is the 19th century poet Dionysios Solomos, the principal modern Greek poet and author of the national anthem of Greece. Also look at owners website, ask us for link.

The island has one airport, the Dionysos Solomos Airport (on former GR-35) in its southwest which connects flights with other Greek airports. Further southwest is the National Marine Park of Zakynthos where loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are found in (the bay of Laganas). Caretta caretta is an endangered species - especially by the deck chairs laied out on their breeding grounds and the inevitable pollution. Every year beginning in June the female turtles come to the southern beaches in order to bury their eggs in the sand. The breeding times takes approx. 55 days. The babies slip themselves into the sea, and the survival rate is very small for the males. A pregnant turtle lays about 1,000 eggs. The port of Zakynthos has a ferry connecting to the port of Kyllini on the mainland. Another ferry connects the village of Skinari to Argostoli on the island of Kefalonia.

Ski: Zakynthos was inhabited from the Neolithic Age, as some archaeological excavations have proved. The famous ancient Greek poet and writer, Homer, first mentioned the island in his masterpieces, the Iliad and the Odyssey, stating that the first inhabitants of it were the son of King Dardanos of Troy called Zakynthos and his men and that they first came on the island around 1500-1600 BC. The island was then conquered by the King Arkeisios of Kefalonia. The famous Ulysses (Odysseus in Greek) from Ithaca was the next King to conquer the island. Later on, a treaty was signed that made Zakynthos an independent democracy, the first established in the Hellenic area, and that lasted more than 650 years.[1] Also look at owners website, ask us for link.

Guest Book: Turtles Loggerhead Turtles nest and lay their eggs on the beaches along the southern shore of the island. In the evening, female turtles can, at times, be seen resting in the shallow coastal waters after their journey to the island. The survival of the loggerhead is becoming threatened. To help ensure their survival there are a number of important rules that you should adhere to. Carelessly discarded litter creates a major hazard as turtles can suffocate trying to eat plastic bags. Loud noise can disorientate female turtles and make them uncertain as to where to lay their eggs. Bright torch lights and flashing cameras of tourists seeking a glimpse of the turtles frighten them back into the sea. There are designated areas of the beaches set aside for the turtles, ensure you do not wander here and disturb the hatch lings. Check availability + tel 07956 506 246.
