After the continuous invasions that Zakynthos suffered, the island gave birth to some folklore traditions which are strongly connected to the religious worship. Throughout the centuries, the local feasts, mostly those that have a religious character are well-maintained to this day. Today, there are countless festivities accompanied by great wine and food served to the tourists.
