The Venetians – who owned it for 600 years – called it ’the Flower of the East.’ Zakynthos is still

one of the lushest and loveliest Greek islands, with green hillsides covered with flowers in spring

and early summer, white cliffs dropping to dazzling turquoise waters, and some of the best

beaches in Greece. Even better, it claims to have more sun than any other Greek island – and it

has sizzling nightlife to match.
