Look over the Aegean Sea from the bleached-white buildings of Mykonos. The homes and churches of this exotic Greek island appear to cascade down the hillside into the sea, which converges in a mixture of beautiful blue sea and sky. Welcome to one of the most romantic destinations in the world. The lovely Greek island of Zakynthos (also known by its Italian name, Zante) has a reputation for fun and is one of the country's most popular holiday islands. Zante is the third-largest island in the Ionian Sea just off Greece's west coast.
