About Zante
Zakynthos, located in the southern Ionian Sea, is a captivating island with a diverse landscape. Its convenient proximity, only one hour away from Cephalonia and the Peloponnese, allows visitors to easily explore other Ionian Islands or venture to ancient Olympia or Athens, just five hours away.
This island offers a mix of mountains, pine forests, fertile plains adorned with olive and citrus groves, and vineyards. Alongside the numerous sandy beaches, Zakynthos boasts an impressive rocky coastline. Marvelous marine caves, including the breathtaking Galazia Spilia (Blue Cave) in the northwest, have formed along its shores. With a mild Mediterranean climate, Zakynthos is perfect for year-round holidays. August is particularly dry and cool, with the water temperature averaging a pleasant 27 degrees Celsius.
Zakynthos is known for its commitment to environmental preservation. Large areas of the island have been preserved to protect rare marine fauna and establish marine parks. The renowned Mediterranean Sea turtle, Caretta-Caretta, has found sanctuary on the protected sandy beaches of the island's southern shores, where it has been nesting for millions of years. Another unique species, the Monachus Monachus (monk seal), can be found on the southwest coasts of Zakynthos. The island's inhabitants have shown deep respect for the delicate ecosystem, ensuring harmony between modern settlements, tourist establishments, and the island's natural beauty.
Discovering Zakynthos is falling in love with it. The island's 44 villages have developed without compromising their traditional charm. Tourism has grown gradually, and the locals' environmental consciousness has prevented large-scale complexes from overshadowing the island's natural wonders. Accommodation options range from medium-sized to small hotels, offering modern comforts combined with genuine hospitality.
Located in the lively Laganas, just 8 kilometers from Zakynthos Town, is the popular Diver's Paradise. Nestled among olive groves and vineyards, Laganas boasts an endless sandy beach and a vibrant nightlife, making it suitable for both pleasure-seeking visitors and families.
The extensive Bay of Laganas is home to the majestic sea turtle Caretta-Caretta, and it is here that you'll find Diver's Paradise Dive Center. Owner Fanis Nikoloudakis, a seasoned diving enthusiast, established this dive center in early 1998, quickly gaining a reputation for excellence. Zakynthos is becoming increasingly popular among scuba divers, fueling the demand for a reputable dive center.
Embark on a remarkable diving journey with Diver's Paradise, as we introduce you to the enchanting underwater world surrounding Zakynthos, a true haven for divers and nature lovers alike.
