Flora
“Zante’s flora has been studied in detail. [...] It is very similar to that in southern Italy and Sicily and not much different from that in Morea and the Greek archipelagos.
625 species of plants are known of on Zante. [...]
The island’s vegetation sleeps from mid July to mid September. After the heavy autumn rains, life begins anew, and, in December, the fields are full of yellow and white flowers, followed by more and more other flowers.
Seeing how flowers grow is a true pleasure – one grows right after another. [...]
There is an abundance of flowers and fruits on this sunny island throughout the entire year. “ [...]
