Things to do in Zakynthos, Ionian Islands: The Best Museums

May 27, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

The Ionian Islands are splendid, cinematic paradise. The waters are bluest blue, the sands are achingly silky and smooth. Everything looks heavily Photoshopped. But that's just Mother Nature, in all her unspoiled glory. Zakynthos is the largest of the Ionian Islands, and it's as fruitful as it is beautiful, boasting a bounty of crops like olives and grapes. Music is a huge part of the local culture—you can catch a concert or festival almost any night of the week, and you'll be captivated by the sights and sounds of Zakynthos performers.

Giatras Museum-Dionysios Art Gallery

Reviewed By gretaoliver

Probably only one a captivating place on the island so charmings and peaceful. In addition to the fact that you will meet the elders, the very nice custodian will show you a museum. Be sure to buy handicrafts. This is an amazing place. After visiting the museum, take a walk around the corners of the village and you will experience something extra ordinary. You must visit this place. Some day skipp beach and sun and go there.

Aristeon Ecological Olive Press

Reviewed By giuseppecincin - Rosyth, United Kingdom

Nice and small museum near Laganas. There's an outdoor exposition and then you go inside to taste the different olive oil strengths. Different olive oil flavours, lemon, garlic, orange and others. Interesting part of the greek culture. Free entrance, you can buy some products if u like.
