Zakynthos Town, the island's capital and main port, charms visitors with its elegant Venetian-style buildings lining narrow streets. The heart is Plateia Solomou, a lively square shaded by trees and dotted with cafes. Key sights include the Byzantine Museum, housing religious art, and the Solomos Museum, dedicated to Greece's national poet. The waterfront promenade offers views of the harbor and access to ferries. Visitors can explore the reconstructed St. Mark's Church and browse local shops for crafts and souvenirs.
