Jeep Safari - (Zante Excursions)

ZAKFARI. What a brilliant day! (Gary Lineker day) Everyone was mad and funny, but none more so than Lee from Leeds our driver. Think we got the most reckless one, which is what you want on a rough off road trip! The previous nights heavy rain created much high speed muddy puddle fun for Lee, and a nice cooling off for us in the back. Anyone precious would hate this trip, If youve got a sense of humour youll love it. The best way to see the Island by far. Cheers Zakfari! XX

Glass Bottomed Boat Trip - (Zante Excursions)

Out of all the trips we went on this was undoubtably the crappest. I usually refrain from moaning but this took the biscuit. Think it was with Pelargos tours. Saw no turtles. "Guaranteed to see turtles" ??? In hindsight, Im glad we didnt see any. The poor creatures must be terrified of the mass of chugging craft gawking at them day in day out. I was more than horrified at our stop at marathonisi beach. Is this not supposed to be exclusively for the turtles? People swarming everywhere! protected area? Marine Park? Id say goodbye to the loggerheads now if I were you. I feel guilty for just being there.

What a hilarious day! Cant fault it one bit. (Gary Lineker is 5'1 day)
Our Driver was Lee, Very dark humour, very nutty driver, (though obviously very experienced & safe) I liked the inbred village Billy Connely BBQ story best I think. It had rained heavily the previous night so Lee had loads of high speed muddy puddle fun, and we all had a good shower. Not for fragile types, but for anyone with a sense of humour its a must! Worth the 50 euros undoubtably, considering some of the crap that gets peddled all over the place. CHEERS ZAKFARI!!!XXX

Day trip to Olympia - (Zante Excursions)

"There is nothing to see, only ruins"????????!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but does anyone really expect to see anything else? A beautiful place, and an all round lovely day out. Dont bother going if youre not interested in history, as thats all you get. An exceptional excavation considering the wars/earthquakes/many centuries that the place has been through.

Athina Apartments - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Great place. I hear reports of a lot of noise in the apts under the restaurant. We were in room 1 and didnt really notice the excess noise. Could hear karaoke from the nearby bars at night but thats all. I suppose if you want to go to bed at 9 then it may be a bit noisy, but who does? Think all apts in greece get mozzies so that isnt exclusive to athina. The resident kittens were greatly amusing, and kept us company on the veranda at all times! I would like to go there again. If you do, try and avoid the "turtle harrasment" boat trips, and stick to the shoreline, keep off the back of the beach as thats where the turtles nest.
