Zante is one of the favourite Greek islands, as it is reputedly the sunniest of all the Greek islands. It is also the most southerly of the Ionian Islands, its beautiful scenery and excellent sandy beaches make it an ideal holiday destination. Zante is also one of the greenest of the Greek islands, blossoming in the early spring and late September to produce a carpet of wild flowers on the hillsides and a riot of colourful flowers throughout the year. During Venetian rule the island was referred to as Fiore de Levante, Flower of the East. On Zante everything is different. Listen to the musical stories sang at the tavernas or visit the historic wineries, the stalactites and the Blue Caves, the sight of the Shipwreck now sunk into the sand and the cave of St. Damian. The capital and main harbour of Zakynthos is called Zakynthos Town, or Zante, or Chora and has a population of about 12,000 inhabitants. The capital of Zakynthos also has a Museum of post-Byzantine art which stands on the Plateia Solomos, as well as a museum dedicated to the life and work of the Greek novelist and play writer Grigorios Xenopoulos, located close to the Church of Agios Dionysios.
