Macherado Village - Zante Zakynthos Greece
Maherado village is to the west of Zante Town, the capital of Zakynthos.
It is the second largest village on the island, with a population of
10,000 people. The village is famous for the pretty Church of Agia
Mavra, which dates from the 14th Century and is one of the oldest
Churches on Zakynthos.
The church has a fine collection of frescoes and
icons, the Venetian belfry is impressive and the bells are rumored to be
the most harmonious in the whole of Greece.
The village is set amongst a
green landscape, with the wonderful fragrance of pine trees. It is a
traditional village that remains untouched by the hand of tourism and as
such is a wonderful place to visit to discover the true essence of
Zakynthos.
Celebrations in honour of Agia Mavra usually take place the
first weekend of July, when the whole town gets together to dance in
traditional customs and eat delicious barbequed food.
