Zante Town
Enjoy a carefree night out in Zante Town with no worries about transport on this evening experience. The city of Zakynthos is the capital of the island and the island’s port! Zakynthos is located at the base of the hill of Bochali and it is at the same time the chief town and main port of the island. After the earthquake that in 1953 destroyed the city, the reconstruction works began and now it looks like a modern city to the tourist, a city that is expanding toward the inland because of the many activities that are there developing.
Zakynthos offers many interesting things to the visitor such as the famous Zantechurch of San Dionisio, which keeps the relics of the saint, the numerous museums, and the characteristic squares of D. Solomos and Saint Mark; this one dated back to the Venetian period and with the only one catholic church of the island.
Besides the seafront (marine road) and the small internal streets of the city, there is a very interesting borough around the ruins of the ancient Venetian castle located at the top of the hill of Strani at the back of the city.
