About Agios Leon
Agios Leon is a village on the west coast of Zakynthos, the third largest island in the Ionian Sea. The western half of the island is a mountainous plateau, with cliffs dropping many hundreds of feet straight into the sea. Most beaches and towns are on the south and east coasts instead; on this side the quiet bay of Limnionas has just a taverna. The homes are spread over a wide area of the west. Nearly all have a private pool and a garden, and a typical one sleeps around six.
