The Zakfari Land Rovers are now back on the island after their winter journey back home for servicing and MoT checks to comply with their Public Service Vehicle licence requirements. I had the pleasure of driving one of them out from the UK to Zakynthos in convoy with Paul, Spyros and Keith. The journey, particularly the leg from Luxembourg over the Alps to Rovereto, was memorable. Unfortunately, I had to fly back home today, but I'll definitely be going back later in the season.

Had a superb meal here on Sunday night with the Zakfari team. The Dolmadakia and Zakynthian Lamb were examples of island cuisine at its best, and the house wine was superb. Bob : LAND ROVER MONTHLY Magazine

The trips start later this week (spoke to Paul earler today to confirm).It is only really in July and August that all the seats go, so you should be able to book when you get there. However, if worried about availability why don't you pre-book by e-mail from Frances at Tsilivi Travel ( akis-125@otenet.gr ) or ring her on +30 6950 44194. Bob

New bar between Popeye's and the Red Lion, run by two Aussie Greek brothers. Just getting off the ground when I was there 2nd week in May, but seemed to have a lot of potential.
