MikeO Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Going to Zakynthos (5th time). First time in ages we've had a bit of flexibility on dates 'cos the lad's at college now which stops on 5th July rather than late in the month for schools. So we're off on the 8th . Not been to Cyprus but three times we've been in the Greek islands in October and the weather's been mostly great....odd day of rain and can be a bit cool overnight but definitely pool and beach weather eight days out of ten.

Zoo Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 At the age of 19 I still get my seasonal holidays free. I've never been to Cyprus but might look into it next year as it's one of the few places in Europe I've yet to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I buy a book about the places i travel to. Looked in tha Zakynthos book but cant for my life remember where we stayed. Wife out shopping so ill ask her when she gets back.. We didnt see no seanturtles either which was our reason for going there. Best day out was when we took a boattriip to smugglers cove with the stranded ship. Was expecting an old pirate ship and found a rusty old old container instead. Love the cliffs surrounding it though. Best island in Greece that we have found so far is deffo Samos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Might have been Argassi but still not sure All of the "resorts" are a bit tacky to be honest, wouldn't stay in any of them (and Argassi has no beach to speak of). Then why go for the fifth time? Haha We fly easyJet and book direct in a little village. Very few tourists, and those that are there are Greeks or Italians. Couple of small bars, one taverna. The shipwreck is awful, photogenic from a distance maybe but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds much better with a small village. Did get to sunbathe a lot by the shipwreck. Killer sun that day. No shade to speak of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I smashed my Xbox 360 controller today, something which I regretted doing 0.5 seconds after the incident. Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap one? I don't really fancy paying £20 for a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
