Zakynthos
is a green island, thanks to the luxuriant plantation it has, which
is due to the rain, very common in winter. Homer in Odyssey
calls the island woody and Venetians referred to it
with the poetic name Fioro di Levante..
Due to the
abundant water and the luxuriant plantation, the climate is mild;
summers are rather cool, mainly after sunset and winters not extremely
cold. The sea is pretty war, a quite favorable factor, both for
tourism and the reproduction of the sea turtle caretta-caretta and
the seal monachus-monachus.
The island
is really a place blessed by God, with a marvelous natural environment
and very important monuments.
