Zakynthos (also spelled Zakinthos; Greek: Ζάκυνθος, romanized: Zákynthos [ˈzacinθos]; Italian: Zacinto [dzaˈtʃinto]) or Zante (/ˈzænti/, US also /ˈzɑːnteɪ/, Italian: [ˈdzante]; Greek: Τζάντε, romanized: Tzánte [ˈdza(n)de]; from the Venetian form) is a Greek island in the Ionian Sea. It is the third largest of the Ionian Islands. Zakynthos is a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands region, and its only municipality. It covers an area of 405.55 km2 (156.6 sq mi) and its coastline is roughly 123 km (76 mi) in length. The name, like all similar names ending in -nthos, is pre-Mycenaean or Pelasgian in origin. In Greek mythology the island was said to be named after Zakynthos, the son of the legendary Arcadian chief Dardanus.
As one of Greece’s Ionian Islands, Zakynthos, like its neighboring islands, is lush green. On the island’s western and northern coasts, steep cliffs plunge straight into the sea, providing beaches that can only be reached by boat. One of these is Smugglers Wreck (Shipwreck Beach or Navagio Beach) which is one of the most photographed beaches in all of Greece. The island’s nickname is “the Flower of the Levant” bestowed upon it by the Venetians who were in possession of Zakynthos from 1484 to 1797.
