There Is More To Zakynthos In Greece Than Meets They Eye

Zakynthos island in Greece is most famous for its pristine beaches. However, there is more to this magical island than meets the eye.

When you have enjoyed a few days on the beach, it is certainly worth exploring the rest of the island. There are many hidden parts to Zakynthos that the vast majority of travelers never see. Best of all, exploring the island does not have to cost you a fortune.

What Will You Find Away From The Beaches On Zakynthos?

Zakynthos is a delight to visit any time of the year. That being said, one of the best times to visit Zakynthos is during the early part of the year.

The sea normally begins to warm up around May time which means you can still enjoy the beach. But visiting earlier in the year, also lets you enjoy flowering meadows and the beautiful interior part of the island. Of course, you should pack your bikini and swimming trunks, but during a late spring visit, you shouldn’t forget to pack your walking boots.

Going for a hike or a walk will let you enjoy the beautiful countryside on Zakynthos island.

One thing you must not do is to forget to stick a couple of Euro notes in your pocket. Honey is a popular natural food on Zakynthos and you can pick up honey all across the island. While a pot of honey is not what visitors normally bring home from the island, there is no reason why you should not do so.

Zakynthos island has long been known for its excellent sweet tasting honey which just busts with the scent of those beautiful spring meadows that you walked through during your visit.

You should also take the opportunity to visit local tavernas that are only frequented by locals. Try one of the local specialties and indulge in honey cakes along with other homemade Greek produce.
