Zakynthos… island of Blue

We’re in Zakynthos, yes another Island, and yes we’re loving it, no surprise. The drive down yesterday from Parga was long and rainy, and the roads were slippery. But catching the car ferry over was a breeze and we’re here for 3 nights. We’ve come to see the natural scenery and experience a quiet island escape, and it’s ticking the boxes. At the lookout we bought some yummy treats from a couple of locals… olives and honey walnuts to name a few. Delish.


Navagio Beach… every bit of blue I was expecting



Sheer cliffs so high




Shipwreck Bay, a stunning place


It’s a long way down



Quiet villages and the odd windmill


Our accommodation is among a mature olive grove, down the peninsula, and we’re lucky again to have the place to ourselves. The best part of travelling low season.
