The tale of Zante’s transport.

Going to Zakynthos? Forget about buses. One in every three or four hours with a break in the middle of the day. You should either rent a car or travel by taxi. One of the best experiences from the holidays was travelling by taxi. I’m

The tale of Zante’s animals.

My favourite part of all trips are the animals. I have to touch them, feed or at least take a photo. On Zakynthos, most animals are nothing surprising. Goats, horses, and so on. However, there were some I’ve seen for the first time in my
