Zakynthos town
The town of Zakynthos is a new modern city, which was built in 1955, after the earthquakes of 1953. The new state, or ‘Hora’, as Zakynthians say, overlooks the azure waters of the Ionian Sea and within the serenity and charm of its idyllic landscape, lays a place of history and culture. From 1700 to 1900, Zakynthos was a great artistic, political, commercial and national center. The city is an amazing labyrinth of small streets, alleys, and numerous neighborhoods, each one with its own fascinating history.
