According to Homer, the son of Dardanos, king of Troy was the founder of Zakynthos Island.  Leaving the city of Psofida with his fleet, he arrived at the island and founded its citadel.  Zakynthos remained neutral during the Persian Wars, and it was when the Romans realized that Zakynthos is a strategic point for the development of trade and the expansion of their conquests that they claimed control over it. From 1492, the government of Venice initiated a campaign aimed at moving many of its nationals to the province of Zakynthos. In less than three centuries, the Venetian rule flourished and was known as the “Florence of Greece.  After the second world war, in 1953, the island suffered a terrible blow: an earthquake that demolished the entire city.  Thanks to the help of the government and the will of the residents, the city was gradually rebuilt and from practically nothing being left, it became one of the first Greek islands to open to tourism.
