The island's capital stands out for its neoclassical buildings, squares and historic monuments. Visit Solomou Square with its impressive buildings, the Museum of Solomos and Kalvos and the church of St. Nicholas of Molos, the only Venetian building to survive the 1953 earthquake. A stroll through the city's picturesque streets is enough to reveal its charm.

On the hill of Bohali, the Venetian castle of Zakynthos offers a unique view of the island and the Ionian Sea. With a history dating back to the 5th century B.C., the castle was the stronghold of the medieval city, full of narrow streets and imposing walls. Wander around and discover an atmosphere that evokes aromas of the past.

This historic hill, where Dionysios Solomos wrote Greece's National Anthem, offers tranquillity and breathtaking views. The paved walkway leading to the poet's bust and the panoramic view of the city and the sea are ideal for a relaxing stroll full of historical flashbacks.
