During the Ottoman Empire, Zacharo was ruled by the landowners, but it was declared a Municipality in 1881, located in the southeast of the Prefecture of Ilia, 32km from its capital, Pyrgos. It is the capital of the homonym Municipality, a town of extreme beauty, where several economic, tourist and cultural activities are hosted. If we could characterize Zacharo with a character from mythology that would be Ianos; because, even though, it is mainly a plain, on its other side there is a mound carrying the church of the Patron Saint, Agios Spyridon (celebrated on December 12th). As a privileged area, its natural beauty consists of wide, light colored seas, a lofty mountain, endless plain and rich vegetation (various trees such as shady pine trees and platans that can be found even on the beaches). Furthermore, Zacharo is mainly in-wrought with the spas of Kaiafas and the pine forest of Strofilia. Visiting these sites will be a rewarding experience. Agriculture and tourism (has well-equipped tourist infrastructures) are its main goldmines. Last but not least, you should definitely visit the church of the Patron Saint, the tomb of Nestor, the spa, the unexplored Kakovato, Taxiarches as well as the Neda Gorge.
