Greek Island Manil His photo famous Bay Nawajio with a sunken ship and a purest azure water. I urgently needed such a photo! Here we flew to Zakynthos.)
The capital of the city of Zakynthos became our shelter for 10 days. The picturesque town on the shore of the Ionian Sea with beautiful sunsets, drowning in azure water and a very welcoming local population. I really love Greece for her narrow streets, such a beautiful combination of white walls of family villas and bright pink flowering trees on their background. It's so beautiful!
In addition to natural beauty, it is worth staying on a cozy area in the center of Soloma, the name that received in honor of the creator of Greece's anthem. In the center of the square there is a monument to Dionysus Solomos. Beautiful church of St. Donia, who is the patron saint of the island. A very massive and powerful structure, located directly on the embankment, is striking against the background of low buildings.
If you like museums, look at the Byzantine Museum, in which the ancient frescoes, sculptures, the icons of the Byzantine era are collected. The entrance is only 3 euros. And in order to enjoy the views of bright roofs and narrow streets, drowning in the greenery, the Emerald Sea and the port, we rose to the observation platform of the battle.
The beaches are better to choose in the distance from the city. Therefore, we preferred to ride the nearest Civilon to us 6 km from the city. Wide sandy beach with white small sand. There is all the necessary infrastructure, cafes. Around olive groves and vineyards. Beauty.
Well, the bay of Navagiio. Without it it did not cost! To do this, I had to take an excursion that cost 20 euros. But this, of course, was worth it. Blue water, smugglest ship, rocks.
Walking in the evening around the city, his bright embankment, you can watch how the city is immersed in nightlife. Quietly dangled on water moored boats, bright fishing nets are laid out on Earth, lanterns begin to light. Such a romance! You are drowning in Greek music that comes from the open doors of the cafe and taverns. And simply can not pass by. We got comfortably with a glass of wine and a delicious dooda in the Spartakos tavern and enjoyed beautiful meals and views.
Zakynthos is my personal paradise. Although I'm almost about all cities and countries after vacation, so I say.)
