If you're interested in more than lying on a beach, Romas Mansion will give you an interesting glimpse into the history and culture of the island.

It's an old mansion built in the 1660s and was used in the 19th century as the seat of government on Zakynthos. It was the home of the aristocratic Romas family and has now been opened to show the interiors and furnishing of the home of a wealthy Zakynthian family in the last century.

You'll find beautiful furniture, family portraits, leatherbound books and furnishings which would not look out of place in a stately home in England.

You can see photos of how the house was damaged and rebuilt after the earthquake in 1953 which destroyed most of Zante town.
