The idyllic Zakinthos, almost triangular is shape, is southernmost island
of the Ionian. Zakinthos, has its own way of enchanting the visitor and
engraving itself in his memory. Its is not easy to forget the emerald sea,
the pine covered hills, or the hospitable and openhearted inhabitants of
Zante, as it is otherwise called. Up high, above the modern town with its
beautiful buildings in the typical Zakintian style, is the Venetian castle; churches are everywhere in the city of St. Dionysios, the island's patron
saint. Small coffee shops and picturesque villages are to be found among
the olive and almond trees, in or around fields planted with vines and vegetables.
