Zakynthos has a long history and most of the architecture was destroyed in the great earthquake of 1953, and the few monuments that remain give only a slight hint of its glorious past. There are many resorts around the island that are worth a visit. One of the must- see resorts is Laganas, where the famous loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs on the beach. These protected species, (Caretta-Caretta) lay their eggs in the sand, and after a few weeks, the eggs hatch and the babies rush to the moonlit sea.
