Apart from the large and famous islands, Greece has a huge coastline with small and larger islands that are unknown to most. One such small but beautiful island is Cameo Island (Agios Sostis), which has its own interesting history.

Agios Sostis is located at the Ionian Sea and is a hidden treasure that once, centuries ago, was part of Zakynthos. However, after an earthquake in this area in 1633, this part was cut off from the mainland and became autonomous.

Therefore, it is now connected to Zakynthos by a small bridge, making the area look like the Caribbean.

The trees on the island, the bridge and the small church that is located there, form a very idyllic scenery. The island got its name from the church on it, which has been there not for five or ten years, but for sixteen whole centuries. The island Cameo island (Agios Sostis) is a little diamond in the Ionian Sea and has a beautiful beach with crystal clear water. This beach is the extension of the big and famous beach of Zakynthos, Laganas.

Zakynthos is the island where you can have many experiences with a single visit. The crystal clear beaches and hills with wonderful views, the special gastronomy and dozens of attractions might make you say that you could stay there forever.

At the same time, it has the peace, the beautiful view and everything else you need to live away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but also to have a modern way of life.
