In general, Zakynthos is a beautiful island, especially the mountainside and it has very romantic coasts. However, it's very irritating that authorities are NOT doing a lot to protect the turtle eggs. This is really a shame. Be aware of the fact that this is one of the only breeding places of sea turtles in the whole world. So be careful when visiting the southern beaches. Public authorities should become aware that the turtles are a tourist asset for the island and so they should protect the turtle eggs, for example by closing the upper parts of the beaches. For the moment the situation is a bit hypocrite: it's forbidden to go on the higher parts of the turtle beach but they are not doing a lot to prevent people from going in these parts.
Otherwise, the island is beautiful. Rent a car for two or three days to see the more remote places, like Porto Vromi. I think the best beaches on Zakynthos are thses which have not much crowds. I didn't like Laganas and generally the nightlife was not good. It was concentrated in Laganas and Tsilivi and it was ruined by the 16 year old British who were constantly drunken.
