“May the day dawns

that more beautiful nature awakens”

Dionysios Solomos

On the island of poets, May has its own colour and aroma. Wander through the city’s neighbourhoods, where the bouillabaisse, a type of jasmine, spreads its fragrance and adorns the courtyards of old houses. Climb up to the Castle of Bochalis with the incredible view of the Ionian Sea and the western coast of the Peloponnese. Discover by bike the calm, green landscape of Zakynthian nature and the beautiful villages of the island – traditional, idyllic and full of spring flowers. Don’t leave without trying the “sartsa”, the most traditional dish of the island, accompanied by the fruity Robola wine. Sweeten yourself with mandolato and pasteli.
