Summer Vacation in Zakynthos, Greece at Porto Zante Villas and Spa

On the look-out for the perfect hideaway in Greece for a summer sojourn? Turquoise water and beaches await on the island of Zakynthos, the third largest of the Ionian Islands, situated just west of the Greek mainland. Blessed with a mild, Mediterranean climate and lush vegetation, the island has a long and fascinating history, first making its appearance in the written record in Homer's great epics. Backed by rocky cliffs, the crescent-shaped beaches offer a piece of paradise. Porto Zante Villas and Spa is the place to stay. Comprising contemporary sea-facing villas (some with private pools), the exclusive resort has racked up the awards for being one of the "best hideaways" in the Greek isles.
