The Greek island of Zante is named after the mythical character Zakynthos, who was the son of Arcadian chief Dardanus. Located in the southern part of Greece, this island is also called Zakynthos, especially by native Greeks. Zante is one of the islands in the Ionian Sea and the third largest of the Ionian islands. It has some enchanting beaches, like Port Vromni Beach. The other parts of the island feature charming towns, wild and rugged cliffs, quiet family coves, green forested hills and fertile lands for agriculture.
This island used to be called the Flower of the Levant. The nickname was given by the Venetians, who occupied the island from 1484 to 1797. In the year 1953, the majority of the Venetian bungalows on the island were destroyed in an earthquake. In their place, there are large, modern villas, equipped with all the modern luxuries. Check out some of the large villas in Zante, listed below.
