Off to Mykonos
... trip is going great so far. I already had a slight change of plans from my original. Maria asked me to go to the island of Zakynthos to her family's house for the weekend. It is a small island to the west of Athens that is not as well known as some of ...
Split to Dubrovnik
The ferry ride from Split to Dubrovnik was more of an Adriatic Coastal cruise than a ferry ride. It was an 11 hour trip along the coast and we had spectacular weather, no wind, calm seas, perfect visibility, and as many coastal islands as one could wish ...
Certifiable
I just finished three days of training on the south end of Zakynthos island. I am now a PADI licensed Open Water Diver. I never had much of a desire to take up the sport, but after Jonas talking it up in Galapagos I started considering it. When I heard ...
(Not even) One Night in Zakynthos
... pounds) duffel and a backpack. I made it to the ticket office and continued on an ill-advised backache-inducing walk through Zakynthos Town before wising up and parking myself at a taverna for some tzatziki, grilled octopus and a chilly Mythos. And ...
Zadar to Split
Zadar ended up being a really nice city and a welcome respite from the Bora winds. We only stayed two nights, but we rented a small apartment on the outskirts of town and melted into suburban Croatia without another tourist in sight. The next day we swam ...
Arriving in Athens
... next. It was a white-knuckle bus ride, and it would have been an impossible ride at night on a bike. Thankfully the people in Greece are super friendly and the bus driver dropped us off right in front of our hotel. Another passenger got up and helped us ...
Zakynthos
Zakynthos Well here we are on the sunny Greek isle of Zakynthos, the most southerly and largest of the Ionian Islands, located off the southwest coast of Greece. The Island is lovely and green due to the high rainfall it receives in the winter ...
Croatian Exit
As I was saying from the last post, we arrived in Dubrovnik in darkness and had no idea what to expect the next morning. Dubrovnik was kind of a last minute stop for us in the first place. A few days previously, we decided we'd had enough thunderstorms, ...
THE TRIP BACK HOME
THE TRIP BACK HOME FROM POROS PORT IN KEFALONIA, TO KYLINI (PELOPONYSOS) The day is beautiful today, and there is sunshine. It is windy however, and we decided to return from Kilini instead, just one and a half hours in the Ferry. ...
The Conquest of Zakynthos
... , I decided that it was already worth it. The scenery that emerged in front of my eyes was comparable to nothing. Zakynthos was a smaller and a far less commerce island than Corfu, so it had some really desolate regions. Like a lonely Pacific island, a ...
De laatste etappe
Bekijk video Zondag 11 juli We maken nog een busreisje naar Archanes . Een dorpje dat een half uur met de bus gelegen is van Rethimno in een gebied waar o.m. de wijn uit Kreta vandaan komt. Het wordt weer een mooie busreis, waarmee we ...
Griekenland ontdekken
Maandag 12 april (voor de eerste foto's zie later, laptop gaat stuk) Het is weer zo ver, Evert brengt ons zo als langzamerhand gebruikelijk is geworden naar de trein in Bilthoven om de vlucht van 13.45 uur naar Athene te kunnen pakken. We rijden ...
Stuck on a Ship
Hello All, So today I am in Katakolon, Greece. Katakolon is literally a village consisting of two streets. It is a port that was built specifically for the ships that come in to go see Olympia (where the first olympics were held...yea not exactly ...
Zakynthos
... spare day before the 4 of us got the ferry to Italy so we parked up our vans and did a trip over to the island of Zakynthos. We took only one small tent, two sleeping bags and the clothes we were wearing! We got laughed at by the guy at the camping ...
Kalamaki
Today was the best day for sailing ever. Even Sotiris was excited when we got the yacht up to 9.3knots. The wind got really strong, the yacht was heeling a lot and a few people got pretty sunburnt! As we approached the coast, the wind really picked up ...
BALKANTOUR-Greece:Chalkidiki peninsula
... so much. The third day the weather was cloudy, so I took the 8.15 a.m. bus to Thessaloniki for my last day in Greece before my return flight home. On the bus I met a speaking english monk and I claimed the treatment I had received. He told me ...
Agios Dimitrios
... to check it out and found a gathering of people outside a little church on a round concrete platform dancing in very traditional costumes. It turns out this is a very traditional part of Greece. I got some vidoe footage so hopefully you can get the ...

Zante, Greece
... town is lovely with lots of beautiful churches and a lovely port area with crystal clear water. I had forgotten just how stunning Greece is. Will explore the town a little bit more and then head back to the ship for lunch and hopefully an ...
Big pimpin island style
After two days of general strikes in Greece I am now in Zante. Thankfully there are worse places to be stranded than in Corfu, even if the weather is a bit crappy. I wa also staying in an all inclusive hotel which in itself was not a problem. Now I don't ...
Tuesday
... to hike to but at least we saw it from a distance. We then continue to drive toward the capital city of the island: Zakynthos. We stop by the monastery of St. George and see the tower they used to protect themselves from pirates. After the monastery, we ...
Perfect if you like rocky, claustrophobic beaches
Just west of Laganas Beach there is a small island in the bay called Agios Sostis I had noticed it on the around the island boat trip and thought it looked like a quiet, secluded beach Oh, how wrong I was! The walk from Laganas was on a narrow winding ...
Zakynthos
Zante je glavni grad ovog Zakinotsa. Nakon zemljotresa i velikog požara iz 1953 godine grad je ponovo izgrađen u venecijanskom i vizantijskom stilu. Gred se često i naziva Venecijom juga. Ovo je jedino mesto na ostrvu gde u sezoni ima ...
Relaxing Day at Sea
Today was a day at sea. So we slept in. The day went much faster that I thought it would. The weather is beautiful. While Al was in the fitness center, I went to the art auction. They had several Agamagraphs, but they were ...
A Pirate's Life For Me
Onto the island of Zakynthos, we started the day off right with our crazy captain taking a detour to see a shipwreck! Known as "Shipwreck Cove" it's a tiny white sand beach, accessible only by boat, that an old cargo ship washed up on. Not a pirate ...
