Anafonitria is 23 km north west of Zakynthos Town and is a small village on the north western side of Zante, just above the Shipwreck Bay. It gets its name from the 14th Century Monastery situated here – the oldest monastery on Zante.
The patron Saint of the island, St Dionysios, took refuge and spent the last few years of his life in this monastery.
Combining visiting the monastery and overlooking the Shipwreck makes for a very enjoyable day out.
