I just published a post about Napflion and Spetes that was a bit outdated because I started it in Spetes and didn't finish it until today...and today I'm in Zakynthos.
Before Zakynthos, Kristen and I visited ancient Olympia, which hosts the site of the first Olympics. Since Kristen is a gymnast and I am a tennis player, we thought it would be appropriate to visit a place so important to the history of athletics. The best part of the historical site was the stadium; we entered it through the same archway that Greek athletes used so long ago! We also took pictures doing athletic poses around the ruins. Kristen did a handstand and I pretended like I was hitting a forehand.
Zakynthos makes me want to live in Greece! The mountains are covered in green and the water is bluer than ever. On the first day we were on the island, we visited a cove in Zakynthos called Smuggler's Wreck; it is one of the most photographed places in Greece. During the schoolyear, Kristen and I would go to a small Greek food restaurant on Guadalupe called El Greco to plan our trip. There is a picture of Smuggler's Wreck in that restaurant and we always expressed about how beautiful it was. Actually visiting the place in that picture was a surreal experience...
There is so much more to talk about regarding Zakynthos, but I'm out of time! Look for more updates about this beautiful island in the near future :)
