Zakynthos' rich eco-structure offers visitors the opportunity to experience an alternative holiday option combining leisure and relaxation with ethical tourism. Zakynthos is formed by sandy and shallow beaches in the South and stony deep waters in the North West. There are two mountains on the island: Vrachionas (756 m) and Skopos (491m). You can also find a natural wetland, a salt flat, rivers and water sources, a drained lake, cliffs, caves (both on dry land and sea) as well as cypress, oak and pine forests, wild flowers and agricultural land (olive groves, wheat fields, vegetables etc). Of significant urgency and importance is the conservation of the loggerhead turtle Caretta Caretta and the monk seal Monachus Monachus.
