In the north of Zante you will find Askos stone park – the closest
thing to a zoo that Zante has to offer. They have a huge collection of
animals living here, many of them wandering free to be petted and
admired.
The park is spread over many hectors of land, amongst olive trees and
natural flora and fauna. There are plenty of animals here to admire –
with everything from peacocks to goats, and just about everything in
between.
Askos stone park has the feel of a large, traditional farm rather
than a zoo. Most of the animals wander free – so you have the chance to
see these beautiful creatures at home in their natural habitat.
