Zacharo (Greek: Ζαχάρω) is a town and municipality in western Peloponnese, Greece.
The town is crossed by the Greek National Road 9/E55, that links Patras with Kalamata.
[4] The municipal unit of Zacharo is divided into the following communities:[3] Zacharo has a school, a kindergarten, a lyceum, a gymnasium, churches, a post office, a police station, a court, a health center, banks and a railway station.
Athletic facilities include a football stadium, a basketball court and a community gym which is open to the public free of charge.
In late August 2007, forest fires caused over 40 deaths, as well as extensive property damage.
Cultivation of the Zacharo tomato is all but extinct, as the cultivar does not grow well in greenhouses, has a short season, and its extreme fleshiness makes the fruit heavy and liable to squeezing and decay when packed.
