INLAND

Going inland in Zakynthos is a must, you will get to sample the traditional way of life, some of the locals have not ever left their village, so, look with amazement when tourists come to visit them. You could easily find yourself getting invited into the locals houses, and, the woman of the house will insist you sample the home made Olive Oil, Honey and of course Wine (remember the village wine can be very strong, so, it is not advised drivers sample this). You will also find your holiday shopping cheaper in the traditional villages. During the winter months, the women in the villages spend their time making rugs, lace, ceramics etc, and, give tourists the chance to buy, when they visit in the summer months. All of the villages have their own unique charm, and, you will find your favourite, here are a few to look out for,

Koiliomenos (experience the traditional cuisine in Alitzourini a stone built village tavern)
Volimes, Anafonitra, Loucha, Exo-Choro (home of one of the oldest olive trees on the island)
