Zakynthos Review:
Nationality: Brittish
Age: 41
The trip: We took the plane from Manchester and it was a very good trip. We were part of a group and it was the first contact with the people of our group. It was great!
Reasons for going to Zakynthos: It was proposed by my travel agent and I also checked for info on the web. It appeared beautiful, quiet and not too comercialised.
Idea before arriving: I always wanted to visit Greece as I have heard much about it. I was waiting for something beautiful, picturesque and warm. My main motivation were beaches and was waiting to find some beautiful ones.
Expectations and opinions: Yes, it met my expactations and more. My familly also enjoyed it much. First, our hotel was really great with a beautiful swimming pool and friendly staff. My children loved the swimmingpool!! The island itself was also really beautiful. Nice beaches, pebbled sometimes but the waters were always warm and lovely. The weather was excelent. We had some excursions in the mainland and it was also very beautiful. Very different than the beach resorts and very authentic.
Favorite thing about Zakynthos: The weather, the beaches, our swimmingpool. The best beach we have visited was Gerakas. The place is lovely. A little crowded in the evening but really beautiful.
Negative opinion: Too many brittish people. Some part of the island are only made for them and are over comercialized. I was also disapointed when I learned that the island had in the past one of the most beautiful architecture of Greece and that everything was destroyed by an eartquake.
Recommendations: Just go to Zakynthos Island and try to see as much as you can. Don't get lazy by the pool in company of a beer!
Yes, I would love to go to Zakynthos again but this trip gave me the mood to go and discover more parts of Greece and next time it will be without a tour operator.
