Zakynthos Greece

Kalispera (Good evening)

Did you miss me? For the last ten days I have been in Zakynthos in Greece. To be honest you probably didn't even notice I was gone, I've been writing my posts out in beautiful Greece.

Life recently has been a little hectic to say the least, so I really needed a break to recharge the old batteries.

The Villa I was staying in was set in beautiful Romiri.

Set high up in the mountains with wonderful views. 

Peace, relaxation and a menagerie of animals.
This place has animals in abundance. I have had this little gecko jump on my back whilst in the pool. 

I am clearly easily mistaken for a rock.

We have rescued a bat in the pool. Look so cute. 

I am pleased to report he survived despite taking in a phenomenal amount of water. A tough little blighter.

Swallows have regularly taken an afternoon dip in our pool and the butterfly's have flown around the plants that surround the pool so beautiful.

For those of you who haven't visited Greece, it has 15,021 Kms of mythical coast line.

6,000 mythical islands and islets

2,844 hours a year of sunshine. The weather has been glorious. It has consisted of a morning swim, lunch by the pool, an afternoon read or outside adventure and another evening swim. Perfect.

Afternoon adventures have existed of visiting beautiful coastlines with clear turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs. 

Zante is the most important breeding ground for loggerhead turtles which breed here. 

Oh and the food. I have eaten so much fresh salad and fish.

 Oh and a few naughties too. 

I flew home today. When I left England it was definitely Summer but it feels as though the change in season has happened whilst I was away and we are most definitely in Autumn. It is a little bit nippy.

Well I am pooped from all this travelling. 

Wishing you all a nice weekend. Any nice plans? 

Antio (bye bye)
