WE STAYED AT BONA VISTA FOR TWO WEEKS (3/7/05-17/7/05) IT WAS EXCELLENT. HAYLEY AND PANDALESE WERE VERY WELCOMING AND BOTH EXCELLENT COOKS AND BAR PEOPLE. THE OWNERS WERE GREAT TOO, THEY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU TRY TO SPEAK A BIT GREEK TO THEM. GO TO THE THURSDAY NIGHT BARBACUE ITS A GREAT NIGHT. IF WE RETURN TO ZANTE WE WILL DEFINATELY STAY THERE AGAIN. ALSO FOR A BRILLIANT DAY TRIP GO ON AN INSIGHT JEEP SAFARI WITH JASON AND TIM, YOU CAN BOOK AT THE TOURIST INFORMATION. ITS ABSOLOUTELY BRILLIANT.

DON'T DO IT 

WE WENT WITH SPRING TOURS. THERE WAS ONLY 6 ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE ON THE COACH AND THE GUIDE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING IN GREAT DETAIL IN GREEK AND THEN IN SHORT SENTENCES IN ENGLISH. WE BARELY UNDERSTOOD WHERE WE WERE GOING AND WHY.WE HAD ALREADY PAID 30 EUROS THEN HAD TO PAY ALL OUR OWN ENTRANCE FEES. THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS VERY POOR. THE SCHEDULE WAS VERY TIGHT AND WE SPENT HOURS AT A TIME ON THE COACH. SUPPOSED TO GET BACK AT 8.30pm, THE BUS BROKE DOWN ON THE FERRY AND IT WAS NEARLY 11pm WHEN WE EVENTUALY GOT BACK. YES THE LAKE IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE CAVES ARE AMAZING BUT IF YOUR GOING TO VISIT THEN DO IT YOURSELF

WE WENT HORSE RIDING IN TSILVI WITH ATHENA AND DENNIS. IT WAS ABSOLOUTELY EXCELLENT. GREAT VIEWS, TAME WELL-MANNERED HORSES, VALUE FOR MONEY AND CLEAN STABLES. WOULD HAVE DONE IT AGAIN BUT UNFORTUNATELT EVERYONE HAS TO COME HOME SOMETIME.

GO ON A JEEP SAFARI INSIGHT WITH JASON AND TIM. I GUARANTEE IT WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR HOLIDAY. SOME OF OUR FRIENDS WENT WITH ZAKFARI AND WEREN'T AS IMPRESSED AS WE WERE. YOU CAN BOOK AN INSIGHT SAFARI AT THE INFORMATION CENTRE ON LAGANAS STRIP. IT IS 40 EUROS EACH FOR A FULL DAY IN AN OPEN TOP JEEP. THERE ISN'T ONE BIT OF THE ISLAND THAT YOU DON'T SEE, ON ROAD AND OFF ROAD. YOU VISIT ALL THE TINY VILLAGES, SEE BREATH-TAKING VIEWS, DO SOME WINE TASTING, HAVE A SWIM STOP IN A BEAUTIFUL COVE, YOU SEE THE SHIP-WRECK FROM ABOVE, STOP FOR LUNCH, VISIT A MONASTRY,SEE THE CAVES, SEE THE WELLS, SEE THE OLDEST OLIVE TREE, AND MUCH MUCH MORE. WE ALSO HAD A WATER FIGHT. YES YOU ARE TOLD A LOT OF THE HISTORY OF THE ISLAND BUT IT IS BY NO MEANS BORING. WEAR YOUR TRAINERS! JASON WAS OUR DRIVER AND AS LONG AS YOU DON'T BREAK HIS SISTERS RADIO HE'S HAPPY.
