Read the PostZakynthos Island, also known as Zante, is one of the most diverse Greek islands I’ve visited.

Between the unforgettable beaches (if you haven’t seen photos of the ‘moonscapes’ of Sarakiniko Beach, check them out ASAP), delicious fresh seafood, and quaint and uncrowded downtowns, it’s truly a slice of paradise.
