Quite by accident, I was brought to the Greek island of Zakynthos, and according to impressions, it overshadows the usual beach places such as Turkey, continental Greece, Spain, etc.

We went there in a big company only because the island has plenty of inexpensive hotels with two-room rooms. Since we always focus on the most insolvent member of the team - the price matters! So the Admiral Hotel - large, almost two-room suites (glass partition), a kitchenette with a stove and a refrigerator, which is important for couples with backbiters and otherwise standard hotel joys such as all inclusive, animation, swimming pool, etc.


But it's not all that important. The buzz starts at the airport, when taxis take 8 (eight) euros to the hotel. Farther. Road traffic consists of 50 percent of ATVs. Just a square -15 e. They give it to everyone. Animal square - 18 e. (But not everyone is given. It is necessary to prove that it is not a teapot). There are absolutely monstrous buggies at the box office, but I don’t advise you to take it without experience. Rent a sea boat with a big Yamaha 40s - 6 hours, or 60s for the whole day. Petrol included and unlimited. There are no distance restrictions. Give to all sober and adequate. Or they will offer to hire a skipper. Class. Once a coast guard boat rushed after me only to say that there was nothing interesting in the direction where I was sailing. You can swim around a bunch of very small nearby uninhabited islands. On one of them, local hefty turtles lay their eggs. A stall floats between the islands. There you can eat and coffee and decoction for the ladies. Unforgettably! The Virgin drinks the Widow standing in the surf of a tiny island.

Despite the fact that Zakynthos is a very small island, there are towns for all tastes and whims. Zante is a typical Mediterranean capital with a town hall and a promenade, Tsivili and Argassi are quiet towns for families. And Laganos! It is something. I read about him before the trip. The organizers of the European championship in oral sex were arrested there. Moreover, their fault consisted only in the fact that the prizes were cash, and not cups or things. (I tried to find out the victory criteria. Alas, it did not work out) The first building at the entrance to the city is the Erogenous Zone club. And Laganos is the capital of European emo girls. so for all tastes.

Be sure to visit the local zoo. He is not rich, quite rural, but a herd of tame deer roams and brazenly sticks there and you can feed the raccoons. It's impossible to describe it. They yell and clutch with paws with marigolds as if they had not eaten for a year.

You should not go to Zakynthos for people who are ostentatious and overly demanding. The islanders are happily lazy. The only show-off cake that we met on the island was our slightly above average manager, who managed to pay for a business class charter (the poor fellow was sitting just in the front row of the general cabin among screaming children) and upon arrival refused to ride in the airport bus with the plebs and 30 minutes I was waiting on a hot runway for the surprised Greeks to provide a separate transport for the Chatlanian. And so, for example, a tourist train may not arrive on schedule, just because Mamidakis went to drink coffee with Kastrakis. The owner of the rental office, to the question - what is the state of the road to the zoo, said that he had never been to that end of the island. very far. (20 km). Meetings with local realtors, I sought a week. They were just lazy. (By the way, a chalet in the mountains in a village with the best sunsets on the island is 60.000 e).


Wheelbarrow rental. 20 is just a car, 25 is the same with an air conditioner, 35 is a golf class with an air conditioner. 50th brand new Smart, but they look askance, like Russians litter with money. Minibus - FV new 2 kondeya - 60 e and apologized for being so expensive, because. Korean ones are gone.

There is a quite professional karting track on the island. The cards are new. Overalls are clean, disposable balaclavas. In the presence there are absolutely unimaginable cards with a child seat. The seat for the bastard stands in the base near the front right wheel. I strongly do not advise using this card for people with no experience or under the fly.

Like everything about the main thing. There are questions - I will answer, because. described very succinctly and without details.
