This work represents the first interdisciplinary approach on the relationship between travertines (as discharges of terrestrial geothermal fields related to the Neogene magmatism and active faulting) and plant fossils in Greece. The present contribution brings the first scientific data for the Quaternary – Pleistocene – Holocene palaeoflora of Zakynthos Island based on leaf imprints. Nine fossil plant taxa are identified for the first time on this island, eight of them are new for the Greek Quaternary and five of them are identified for the first time in Greece: Equisetum aff. fluviatile, Laurus nobilis L. foss., Ocotea cf. heeri, Populus nigra, Cydonia aff. oblonga.
