Zakynthos

Zakynthos sometimes called Zante in English; in Italian Zacinto or Zante, the third largest of the Ionian Islands.Zakynthos has a thriving tourism industry and is one of the top tourist destinations in Greece.The capital, which has the same name as the prefecture, is the town of Zakynthos; apart from the official name, it is also called Chora. At southwest is the National Marine Park of Zakynthos where loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are found in the bay of Kalamaki. Caretta caretta is an endangered species - especially by the deck chairs laid out on their breeding grounds and the inevitable pollution. Every year at the beginning of June, the female turtles come to the southern beaches in order to bury their eggs in the sand.
